| Mazda joint venture in Thailand begins trial run - 7/11/97 |
| Mazda Motor Corporation's joint
venture company AutoAlliance (Thailand) Company Limited
recently began a trial run of its new facilities at the
Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate in Rayong Province. The trial plant operation initially included the stamping, body assembly and paint shops, followed by the final assembly line. Built to manufacture pick-up trucks, the plant is scheduled to begin mass production of compact pick-up trucks in mid-1998. Trial runs designed to train new employees and 'fine tune' the plant will now continue until mass production begins. Construction of the plant began in February 1996 at the Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate and the installation of equipment and tooling began in February 1997. Local employee recruitment started in January 1996 and the number of on-site employees hired in Thailand is currently 402. About 190 of these new employees have received extensive training at Mazda's Hiroshima plant including auto-manufacturing technology, factory management methods, and production systems. The length of the programmes vary from three months to a year. Company Outline
