Japanese OTC Company Supplies Various Shapes of Fasteners in Thailand

Okuyama Technical Center (OTC) introduced anti-loosening coating equipment to its subsidiary in Thailand (OTCT). It can supply various shapes of fasteners in large bulk or small lot.

The headquarters in Japan mainly produces flange bolts, weld bolts, caulking pins, and long bolts, and plans to replicate its complete technology to the Thailand base. 50% to 60% of its domestic production is exported to overseas bases. In 2012 OTC set up the subsidiary with 70-ton monthly capacity in Rayong Province in southern Thailand where automotive component makers gather. Domestic makers in Japan mostly outsource to coating companies, while OTC directly introduces the "Scotch Grip" automatic coating line to the Thailand plant to increase competitiveness.
