WHY THAILAND?

  • From a skill-set and cultural perspective, Thailand has a strong history in fine jewellery manufacturing and especially within sterling silver jewellery
  • Thailand exported fine jewellery, diamonds, coloured stones, etc. for more than USD 10 billion globally
  • Tax privilege status
  • Transferring of employees from Bangkok to Chiang Mai to ensure a high skill-set from day one
  • Mitigating for natural disasters by having two manufacturing clusters

THE PRODUCTION CAPACITY EXPANSION IS AN IMPORTANT INVESTMENT FOR PANDORA

  • The production capacity expansion programme includes an investment of DKK 1.8 billion
  • Two new crafting facilities: Lamphun, Chiang Mai Gemopolis, Bangkok
  • Optimisation of existing crafting facilities in Gemopolis
  • Approximately 700 km between the two manufacturing clusters
  • All facilities located close to international airports
