According to local reports that surfaced two months ago, Thai President president Suchai Ratanajiajaroen indicated the company was looking to set up a manufacturing base in Europe to take advantage of growing instant noodle consumption in the region.
The company exports noodles to Europe from Thailand, supplying various retailers including Tesco in the UK. The group produces instant noodles under a range of domestic and export brands, including Mama, Thai Chef and Bissin.
Establishing a production plant in Hungary will help address issues including high import tariffs, freight and transportation costs, Ratanajiajaroen reportedly said.
