It’s my honour to be part of the management team as the Chief
Executive Officer. I’m truly humbled by this opportunity. For more than 60
years, a growing number of employees have come to the Company to fulfill our
Mission in becoming a battery manufacturer with quality and competitive cost. This compelling Mission has guided our people
to deliver meaningful products and services, contributing to the automotive
ecosystem locally and regionally. To lead such an organization and its people
is incredibly inspiring and a tremendous privilege.
I am grateful for the effort of the current and former
executives and employees in executing strategies that led to the stable growth
in the past decade. Given the compact size of the factory, it had been
operating with efficiencies in various sections, thus enabling them to produce
good quality parts and products and complete significant investment like the
solar rooftop project. The Company had been steered past difficult time and
situations such as the pandemic and geered towards sustainability. Together we
will be building further on this foundation.
There are, however, several
external factors that keep weighing on the Thai economy this year, including
the volatile global economy and the geopolitical crisis that would cut demand
and global trade. This is, therefore, a begin in one of the challenging times
in a fast-changing, connected, and competitive environment. Of course, a
strategy alone will not take us there. I believe in the strengths and
capabilities of YUASA people, and my mission is to bring together those
capabilities to create a strong driving force for the company, creating value
for every stakeholder while focusing on sustainability and social impact. And I
hope you will continue to follow and support us as we continue on this journey.
