STARTEAM GLOBAL is proud to be featured in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), a leading Hong Kong-based international news publication. The article highlights our Thailand facility, Prachinburi STARTEAM (PST), within the broader shift in electronics manufacturing and PCB supply chains across Asia.
We would like to thank SCMP and the authors for this insightful coverage and for including STARTEAM GLOBAL alongside companies navigating today’s evolving global landscape. It provides a strong overview of how organisations are rethinking supply chains and investment strategies, driven by tariffs, geopolitical developments, and the need for diversification.
Strategic Move to Strengthen Supply Chain Resilience
Three years ago, we expanded into Thailand to support customers facing increasing pressure from tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty, and supply chain disruptions. This decision became critical as United States import tariffs accelerated the shift towards alternative manufacturing locations and diversified sourcing strategies.
Our PST facility in Prachinburi operates a 10,000 m² production area with a monthly capacity of 25,000–30,000 m². The site supports 2–16-layer PCBs, including IMS and copper inlay. This capability enables high-volume, multi-layer PCB production across advanced electronics applications and industries.
Positioned for Asia’s Manufacturing Shift
The investment in Thailand has already delivered significant value to customers. More than 20 US customers placed orders with PST in 2025 to optimise tariff exposure and strengthen operational resilience.
This aligns with a broader industry trend, where companies are adopting multi-location manufacturing strategies to reduce risk and improve supply chain stability.
Our inclusion reinforces our position within a wider transformation across the manufacturing sector. Southeast Asia continues to gain importance as companies rebalance global production footprints and adopt “China+1” strategies.
