TOKYO — November 1, 2012 — Teijin Limited announced today that Teijin (Thailand) Limited in the Bang Pa-in Industrial Estate of Thailand's Ayutthaya Province, which was flooded by torrential rainfall in October 2011 and then resumed partial operation in February this year, returned to full-scale production on October 31. All three Teijin Group polyester production facilities in Thailand affected by the flooding are again operating normally. 

The other two facilities - Teijin Polyester (Thailand) Limited in Pathum Thani Province and Teijin Cord (Thailand) Co., Ltd. in the Rojana Industrial Park of Ayutthaya Province - resumed full-scale production in September and August, respectively.
