As the first step GPV has acquired 32,000 sqm of land in the BangPoo Industrial Estate”. Bo Lybaek continues: “We decided to remain in the BangPoo Industrial Estate since we find that it offers excellent logistics opportunities, has proven to be safe from flooding, and furthermore is the home base for our 700 people of highly skilled workforce.
