Fujitsu General will strengthen an air conditioner development site in Thailand to extend its reach with corporate customers in growth markets.

The Japanese company plans to add a building around next summer to a site in Chonburi, a province near Bangkok. Investment will come to between 2 billion yen and 3 billion yen ($16.6 million to $24.9 million).

The development site is close to Fujitsu General's mainstay air conditioner production facility, enabling frequent communication for feedback, and develops large commercial models for such overseas markets as the Middle East. The new building will develop commercial air conditioners for the Mideast, Australia, Europe and the U.S.
