Roland DG Corporation has opened a new building at its factory in Thailand with the capacity to manufacture more than 7,000 inkjet printers a year.
“Roland DG group has been working on transforming into a lean and nimble organization and transitioning our business portfolio is the core initiative in the midterm business plan (FY2021-23),” said Roland DG president Kohei Tanabe.
“The consolidation of mass production functions in the Thai factory was a major pillar of our structural reforms. In 2021, we successfully completed the transfer of dental milling machine production, followed by the transfer of printer production in 2022. We are also pleased to have continuously introduced new products and opened our new factory amid a rapid expansion in orders.
“With the consolidation of our production functions, we take pride in delivering ‘Made in Thailand’ and ‘Made in DGT’ products to customers worldwide. Going forward, the Roland DG Group will continue to strive for significant growth in tandem with Thai factory’s progress.”
