Aichi-based auto parts maker Taisei Plas has decided to build a new plant in the city of Iizuka, Fukuoka Prefecture, and signed an agreement to that effect with city officials. They are the first company to establish a plant in the city’s controversial Namazuta Industrial Park, which has been plagued by problems with the weak ground in the area. Work on the plant is due to start next June, and plans call for it to begin operation in January 2013.
