ARAYA Land Development Company Limited, developer of ARAYA – The Eastern Gateway, Thailand's fully integrated industrial-tech ecosystem, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Doosan Corporation Electro-Materials BG (Korea), a global leader in advanced industrial materials and technology. The agreement will see Doosan invest in a site spanning over 45 rai (73,000 sqm) land plot within ARAYA – The Eastern Gateway.
Doosan Corporation (Doosan) is establishing on the site, a new US$135 million production base in Thailand to preemptively address the surging demand for Copper Clad Laminates (CCL), driven by the global expansion of AI data centres. CCL is a fundamental material used in the manufacturing of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
Kamonkarn Kongkathong, Managing Director of ARAYA Land Development Company Limited, stated, “Doosan's investment in ARAYA – The Eastern Gateway reflects strong confidence in Thailand’s potential and reinforces our position as a platform supporting high-tech industries. As a leading South Korean conglomerate with businesses spanning energy, heavy machinery, construction, and advanced industrial materials, Doosan's investment will play a significant role in elevating the supply chain for Thailand's electronics and semiconductor industries. It will also generate regional economic value through job creation, workforce skill development, and by attracting continuous investment from related industries.
As a fully integrated industrial-tech ecosystem, ARAYA – The Eastern Gateway is designed to support global enterprises in expanding operations, driving innovation, and achieving sustainable growth. Its ‘Smart & Green Infrastructure’ enables a plug-and-play model with reliable utilities, well-suited for advanced manufacturing such as Doosan’s Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) production.”
“We decided to expand our production capacity to respond timely to the growing demand for CCL,” said Taewon Jang, Director of Doosan Corporation Electro-Materials BG Strategy Team. “The decision underscores our firm commitment to selecting a location with superior logistics accessibility, situated approximately 30 minutes by car from Suvarnabhumi International Airport and one hour from Laem Chabang Port. As a modern industrial complex, it offers robust operational infrastructure and disaster response systems, ensuring a stable and secure production environment. The investment is approximately KRW 180 billion (USD 135 million), with groundbreaking scheduled for this year and mass production targeted for the second half of 2028.”
This collaboration further reinforces ARAYA’s commitment to attracting leading global companies in future-focused industries, including advanced manufacturing, clean energy and technology, with the aim of enhancing Thailand’s overall competitiveness and industrial potential.
