During the ceremony, Mr. Morimoto talked about the role that the technical center will play in providing technical support across the region and his expectations of it in enhancing research and development for Bridgestone to respond more quickly to customers’ needs.
As the markets in the Asian region continue to grow and diversify at a fast rate, Bridgestone believes that it is necessary to set up a technical center in Thailand as a step to strengthen its framework for research and development in the region. By establishing a technical center close to the markets, Bridgestone will be able to grasp changes in its customers’ needs constantly and reflect these in the development of its products. The new technical center will oversee the functions of Tire Development, Production Technology, Quality Management, and Procurement, and serve as a regional base to enhance the operational level in terms of safety, environment, product quality and delivery in its Asian plants.
Moving forward, the Bridgestone Group plans to increase its presence in the Asia Pacific region through enhancing research and development, expanding its sales network, and increasing tire production capacity as it strives to achieve its mission of “Serving Society with Superior Quality”.
