Summary · why it matters

Fortune Part Industry Public Company Limited, or FPI, is accelerating construction of a new factory in the King Abdullah Economic City, or KAEC, special economic zone in Saudi Arabia. Commercial operations are expected to begin by November 2026, serving as a manufacturing and distribution hub for the Middle East and North Africa region. Setting up the plant in KAEC, a strategic location for manufacturing and logistics, will help reduce logistics costs by more than 30% compared with exporting from Thailand, and lower risks from international shipping route volatility. The factory will produce OEM automotive plastic parts and has already secured a project from Ceer, a Saudi Arabian automaker, worth over 30 million US dollars, or approximately 1 billion baht, with revenue to be recognized gradually over the next five to six years. In addition, FPI is in talks with Hyundai to support parts production for future vehicle manufacturing projects in Saudi Arabia, and is exploring opportunities to expand into the air-conditioning segment, which sees high demand in the region.
