Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. began construction on a new motorcycle factory in the Lima Industrial Park in Batangas State, the Philippines, having invested 960 million pesos (approx. 2.5 billion yen) for construction. Manufacturing operations are scheduled to begin in January 2009 with a starting production capacity of 150,000 motorcycle units annually and an initial workforce of approximately 270. The new factory under construction is located approximately 75km south of Manila on a 230,000m2 lot and will have a floor space of 44,000m2. When completed, it will take over the assembly of motorcycles presently conducted at the interim factory in Laguna State. Currently, the 100% Yamaha Motor-owned motorcycle manufacturing and sales subsidiary Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc. (YMPH), established in May 2007, is engaged in the assembly of 105cc to 135cc motorcycles at an interim factory facility in an industrial park in Laguna State since September 2007. |
