 Plant area required 600 m2,plan into 2 separate
area,compounding and extrusion.

31.  Total investment including plant area,labortary
equipments,production machine
equipments,installation expenses,human resources
and etc estimately will be around THB 25 million
excluded technology know-how.
 1st stage investment plan will be begin on end of
2011 and production trial run on
Mar.2012.Projected investment will be 2

meter annumly,together with labortary
equipments,plan investment will be around THB
10 million.

47.  2nd stage investment projected at early of year
2013 with 2 extra production line cost around

48.  Total technology know-how cost still under study and
will also separate into 3 stage,it will be by consulted or
Joint venture will depend on final conclusion.A report
will be issue separately with conclusions and
recommendations.
 With roughly estimate variable margin at 40%,the

supplier for car maker.We will also upgrade our
quality management system paralelly with 5S system
to achieve our goal as international standard
manufacturer.

50.  The investigation of the economics of these
products
 Variable cost – estimately about 50%
