OSAKA -- Japanese snack maker Ezaki Glico plans to triple ice cream output in Thailand to between 2 billion yen and 3 billion yen ($18 million and $27 million) worth of the sweet stuff by 2020.
The Osaka-based confectioner at its own expense recently replaced equipment at a subcontractor's factory on the outskirts of Bangkok, in addition to installing machinery at a local subsidiary. Glico will add more offerings for the Thai market while trying to widen its sales network to suburban and rural areas in the coming months.
