VT Group, which has garment manufacturing facilities in Thailand and Myanmar, will make an investment of around BT 10 million to acquire an automation system to manage its garment production processes.
The automation system will be deployed at its manufacturing unit in Bangkok, reportedly said Chalumpon Lotharukpong, Managing Director of VT Group.
With the new system in place, the apparel manufacturer expects a significant improvement in its overall productivity and the quality of products – outerwear, casual wear and sportswear ranging from jackets, functional clothes, ski wear to jogging suits, shorts and vests – that it makes.
However, no information has been traced yet on the company’s procurement plans of this automated system.
Markedly, 98 per cent of the products manufactured by VT Group are exported to US, Europe and Japan. Rest of the products are distributed in the domestic market.
The company currently operates three manufacturing facilities including one in Myanmar. The remaining two are located in Bangkok and Maha Sarakham Province. Around 182,000 pieces of garment products are produced by the company monthly. In view of the rising demand, it has plans to further invest in its Myanmar-based factory to amplify the production capacity.
The Group, which employs 3,000 staff, aims to be a superlative designer and manufacturer of sportswear and outerwear. It expects to note BT 1.8 billion in revenue this year.
The manufacturer eyes to automate as many manufacturing processes as possible. It recently installed solar panels that produce 10% of the total energy consumed by the company.
As per the company’s official website, it altered its ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial. The move was aimed at standardising its production operations, tracking materials and accessing production data, to understand the gaps and further enhance its productivity.
