WHA Hemaraj launches new industrial estate "Hemaraj Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 4" (HESIE4) in Pluakdaeng Rayong Province, Thailand
The international technology corporation Continental purchased about 750,000 square meters of land plot at HESIE4 for its new Euro 250 million Greenfield tire plant site for passenger cars aimed to be built by 2019.
Hemaraj Land And Development Public Company Limited, a public company under the group of WHA Corporation Public Company Limited, launched its ninth (9'th) industrial estate "Hemaraj Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 4" in Rayong Province. HESIE4 comprises in total 3 million square meters or 1,860 rai land development and with all environmental and industrial estate approvals secured in meeting the exacting timing and specifications of Continental.
The HESIE4 industrial estate comprises a gross area of about 750,000 square meters which will be completed for Phase 1 with the complete industrial estate utility infrastructure within 2017. The HESIE4 site now under land grading and infrastructure completion was able to offer Continental the exacting land dimensions and land and utility specifications meeting its requirements for their site selection.
David Nardone, Group Executive Industrial and International noted the following. "It was a joint effort among the Continental and WHA Hemaraj teams. We sought to understand their process, utility, and land requirements well in advance of their decision timing and then commenced civil works preparations procedures. From that point, we worked together to design the land plot and utilities that allow Continental to optimize their manufacturing requirements."
"The site selection process at Continental for new plants is very complex, where we have to take into account not only the proximity to markets and our customers, several infrastructure elements, but also the workforce available as well as educational institutions which will support us. In the site selection process for land and infrastructure, we have specific manufacturing site design requirements. Through our excellent collaboration with Hemaraj at HESIE4 we were able to initiate all civil works procedures on time, therefore I would like to express my sincere 'thank you' to both teams and rely on a fruitful cooperation also in the future", explained Michael Egner, Project Manager Greenfield APAC.
