[Rizhao Steel] Invites You to the 2025 SMM Southeast Asia (Thailand) Automotive Supply Chain Conference

June 16-17, Hyatt Regency Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok, Thailand

In recent years, Southeast Asia has gradually become an important part of the global automotive industry, leveraging its unique geographical advantages, abundant resources, and vast consumer market, which are rich in supply and demand opportunities. As a regional leader, Thailand has attracted the attention of many Chinese NEV manufacturers. Since 2012, SAIC has collaborated with the Charoen Pokphand Group to establish a production site in Thailand, followed by the entry of Chinese automakers such as Great Wall Motor, BYD, and Neta Auto into the market. Meanwhile, power battery enterprises like Gotion High-tech and SVOLT Energy Technology, as well as parts companies such as Jingcheng Engineering, have also set up factories in Thailand, further promoting the coordinated development of the industry chain.

Against this backdrop, the 2025 SMM 2nd Southeast Asia Automotive Supply Chain Conference will be held in Bangkok. We sincerely invite industry elites to jointly explore these challenges and opportunities and work together to drive the prosperity and development of the automotive industry in Southeast Asia and beyond. At this significant moment, Rizhao Steel Holding Group Co., Ltd., as a guest speaker, will attend the conference in full force.
