Sony to set up production in Thailand

The company is setting up a start-to-finish production system, covering chip mounting through assembly, writes Nikkei News. Sony will add a new production line to an existing site in the Pathum Thani Province, which has been suspended since the floods back in 2011, the report continues. The investment is planned to become a reality during the year, and mass production is expected to begin during the company's fiscal year 2016, with volumes set to reach several million units per year.
