    In order to avoid the interruptions of supply chain, major manufacturers have diversified their production bases from China.  Wah Lee Thailand subsidiary has benefitted from the transfer sales from China and performed well in the first quarter of this year.  Demands from auto industries were boosted by the surges of domestic demands and exports to SEA countries and made Wah Lee Thailand grow its sales in 1Q22 by close to 20% YoY.  WL Thailand will focus on the high end engineering plastics for the EV and EV batteries, charging poles, and auto parts.

     

    Vietnam is another area that Wah Lee expanded.  With GDP expected to grow by 7.5% this year, Vietnam looks bright on its growing economic size.  Wah Lee Vietnam has been cultivating the local market for more than 10 years and has sales offices in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Ming City.  The company has penetrated into automobile, LED, internet equipment, and consumer appliances and seen its engineering plastic business growing rapidly.
