The new mechanics factory is 12,000 sqm, which is almost twice the size of the current mechanics facility.

Combined, the electronics production site will comprise of 22,000 sqm production.
“The completion of the first of the two construction projects in Thailand is an important step in increasing our production capacity and strengthening our operational footprint. The new factory includes state-of-the-art equipment so that we can meet our customers’ needs within uniquely specialised mechatronic solutions and box-build. I am proud to see our team work with such dedication to ensure operational excellence”, says Bo Lybaek, CEO at GPV.
