Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson Inc. said on Thursday it will build a plant in Thailand, a major Asian automotive hub, to serve the growing Southeast Asian market, a move criticized by a U.S. labor union.
The company did not give a figure for the planned investment in Thailand's Rayong province, southeast of Bangkok.
Katie Whitmore, Harley-Davidson public relations manager, said the company had its best results in Asia-Pacific in 2016, though she gave no numbers.
The Thailand facility "will allow us to be more responsive and competitive in the Asian region and China," Harley-Davidson public relations manager Katie Whitmore said.
Demand for Harley motorcycles in the U.S., the company's biggest market, continues to be slow as its loyal baby boomer demographic changes ages. (meaning, Old WeakWhyte Men are dying off quickly).
