Kovit Kantapasara, president and chief executive of GE Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, said the company expected its sales in Thailand and Myanmar to expand by 40-50 per cent this year compared with 2014.
GE does not disclose its financial figures for each country.
In an exclusive interview with The Nation, Kovit said GE's main focuses in Thailand included power generation and locomotives.
"We have been working on wind-power projects for the past few years and should have some breaking news soon," he said.
GE is also bidding for contracts to supply larger gas-turbine units to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) Bang Pakong and South Bangkok power plants. It is also looking for an opportunity to supply power turbines to Gulf Energy Development's 5,000-megawatt IPP (independent power producer) plant once the project has been given the go-ahead and selects its technologies.Credit and view full story at The Nation
