Nissan to cut or transfer about 1,000 jobs in Thailand: sources
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


NISSAN Motor will cut or transfer about 1,000 jobs in Thailand as it shrinks production in South-east Asia, part of its recently announced global workforce reduction plan, two sources familiar with the matter said on Friday (Nov 22).

Nissan plans to partially stop production at its Thailand Plant No 1, one of two car assembly plants in the country, and consolidate the operations into Plant No 2 by September next year, according to the sources, who declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak on the matter.

A Nissan spokesperson declined to comment on the job cuts but said the partial consolidation of the plants were underway to upgrade equipment and no plant will be closed there.

“The Plant No 1 continues to operate as our major production site in Thailand,” the spokesperson said.

The struggling Japanese carmaker earlier this month announced a plan to cut 9,000 jobs worldwide after posting worse-than-expected half-year earnings. In the United States, about 6 per cent of local staff there, are leaving Nissan by the end of this year by accepting early retirement packages.

The two Thailand plants are in Samut Prakan province on the outskirts of Bangkok. At maximum, Plant 1 had a production capacity of about 220,000 units, while Plant 2 had a capacity of 150,000 units, making Thailand the biggest South-east Asian production hub for the company.

Nissan’s sales in Thailand dropped 30 per cent to about 14,000 units in the past financial year ended in March. While Japanese automakers, also including Toyota and Honda, have dominated the Thailand market for years, Chinese makers such as BYD and Saic were emerging fast with electric vehicle options.

The two Thailand plants have also produced export-bound SUV models such as Kicks for other South-east Asian nations, and Terra for the Middle East and African markets. REUTERS
