Thai Stanley Electric, a leading Thai manufacturer of lights for the automotive industry with a Japanese parent company, believes the quake and tsunami disaster in Japan will not affect its operations in Thailand. The company imports only one raw material from Japan, said Apichart Leeissaranukul, executive vice president of Thai Stanley Electric, adding that stocks of the item would last until the end of the month. If the manufacturing plant in Japan does not resume normal operations by the end of March, the company will use other suppliers, he said. (The Nation)
