Suzuki Motor Corp. has acquired a 49-acre site near Yangon, Myanmar, to build a second assembly plant in the country that will multiply its local capacity by a factor of five.
The company is expected to begin construction late this year of a facility that can assemble 10,000 vehicles per year from imported parts, according to The Nikkei. The newspaper speculates the first model to be made there may be the Ertiga seven-seat small MPV.
Suzuki began assembling cars in Myanmar in 1999 through a joint venture. But it abandoned the market at the end of 2010 after the military took control of the government.
The company returned in 2013 as sole owner of Suzuki (Myanmar) Motor Co. It currently makes about 1,800 Carry minitrucks per year at a facility in Yangon formerly operated by the joint venture.
