NFI said the plant and surrounding storage buildings are located in the deep sea port of MAP Ta PHUT and includes ample space for loading and off-loading raw materials and finished product.

The company, based in Calgary, Canada, plans to have the facility running at full capacity by third quarter this year.

``We were very fortunate to find a facility of this type in the right geographic area of the world that provides everything we need to manufacture and ship our product,’’ says Bill Jacobson, chief executive of NFI.
