View Full Version : Nikon Thailand Gil Penaflorida 09-20-2006, 01:50 PM Hurry up get your D200 and 18-200 VR now ........ dave_deluria 09-20-2006, 01:55 PM Eh?! We've had worse political instability here and the factories still hum along making Timex watches, Sekonic light meters, Intel processors, Seagate HDs etc. If there's anything we've learned is that business goes on in spite off political instability. Gil Penaflorida 09-20-2006, 01:58 PM The new PM is a C* shooter jerome pagunsan 09-20-2006, 02:19 PM Nikon have a huge investment in Thailand. But most established companies will more likely to stay in times of trouble. But if worst comes to worst can we see... Nikon Philippines Factory? dave_deluria 09-20-2006, 02:25 PM I doubt it. China is cheaper IMHO. Gil Penaflorida 09-20-2006, 02:26 PM Actually nobody quits Thailand they already had 32 coups since the 1960s plus the 1997 crash ...... martial law was declared and parliament was abolished nothing new to them as long as the king is not displeased .....

Nikon Philippines Factory? We can only hope! Working for this Factory would require more than manual dexterity and technical know-how... It will require alot of special training for special expensive equipment as well.:) chewychua 09-20-2006, 02:27 PM but i heard that his highness is a nikon shooter. hahahaha :) insensitivity aside, i sure hope that they fix whatever they have to fix in thailand soon. dave_deluria 09-20-2006, 02:31 PM I agree with Gil. The one thing that all Thais agree on is they love their Monarch. So no matter how many times the government changes, it's their King that is the unifying force.

Nikon Philippines Factory? Nikon Plant in the Philippines? Hmm, I guess the country has the expertise since the Pentax plant is in the Philippines (unless they've moved already). Raffy Crucillo 09-20-2006, 03:14 PM Isn't the D50 made in Thailand? dave_deluria 09-20-2006, 03:20 PM The D80 I have and the 18-200 says made in Thailand. archie_apostol 09-20-2006, 03:37 PM I agree with Gil.

Hi Dave, That is one good thing going for the Thai's Archie edu_singson 09-20-2006, 04:24 PM We can only hope!

I know of a company in the Philippines that actually makes satellite and missile guidance systems for rival countries! It's really amazing! A lot of telecoms in different parts of the world, such as Singtel, ZedTE source their microchips and components from Laguna. Something we gotta be proud of, kayang kaya ng Pinoy!

Thanks for the info. Bro. :) Yup, no doubt about it kaya ng pinoy yan... I just hope na hindi nila tipirin and well compensated yung mga employees. If Nikon does this here... WOW! Alot will benefit from it really! :Grin: All the best... jake_borres 09-20-2006, 10:06 PM hopefully cheaper prices? hehehehe... or Filipinos patronizing NIKON products since its proudly made in the Philippines...who knows? ... all part of a dream... :) |
