Mitsubishi Motors’ Thailand branch was established in January of 1987, and is considered one of the brand’s major distribution hubs. As Mitsubishi continues to restructure its production plans, including a shutting down its Normal, Illinois plant that produces the Outlander Sport, we’re sure the Laem Chabang plant in Thailand is sure to become even more important.
One of the biggest Mitsubishi sellers in the Thailand market is the L200 pickup. As this pickup continues to increase in popularity globally, so should its production, pushing the assembly plant to an even bigger milestone.
