Canon has announced the establishment of a new Thailand-based manufacturing company for the assembly of digital multifunction office systems and service parts. The new company, Canon Prachinburi (Thailand) Ltd., will be located in Prachinburi province, Thailand.
 

Recently, the business machine market has displayed steady growth, led by emerging countries. Canon says that the expected increase in future demand for competitively priced multifunction devices has created a pressing need for it to secure necessary production capacity while making it possible for the company to respond in a flexible manner.

In response to these circumstances, Canon has newly purchased land in Prachinburi province and decided to establish Canon Prachinburi (Thailand) Ltd. Canon plans to commence construction for the new company in February 2012 with operations scheduled to begin in April 2013.
