Dear Mrs. Achana Limpaitoon,
First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Max Ong and I am from Affilion Advisory Sdn Bhd, a management consulting firm based in Malaysia. I was referred to you by the Royal Thai Embassy in Malaysia. I tried calling your office at TAPMA but unfortunately, you were not present at that time.
The reason I am writing to you is because we are conducting a market study for our client, on the auto parts/ automotive industry in Thailand. We understand that from the market study, our client is then able to make an informed decision, which may include investing in Thailand and bringing capital inflows into the country.
We are looking for key distributors who distribute automotive fuel pumps. We are looking for Tier 1 suppliers/distributors in the industry, preferably those with the highest market share. If you are unable to find distributors specifically for automotive fuel pumps, then do provide key distributors for auto parts. We are also keen to speak with any OEM manufacturer who manufactures automotive fuel pumps in Thailand.
During our trip to Thailand, we plan to speak to as many people as we can. As such, we would appreciate if you can provide contact information (Automotive Fuel Pump Distributors & Manufacturers) as soon as you can, so that we can arrange appointments with them during our time in Thailand as well.
Please note the following areas we will be looking to understand during our meeting:
• The general practise of distribution of auto parts from manufacturers (OEM) up until end consumers.
• The aftermarket structure of the automotive industry in Thailand
• Demand/ Supply for automotive fuel pumps
• Distribution channels for automotive parts and fuel pumps
• Major brands and pricing for automotive fuel pumps
For your reference, please find a sample of the automotive fuel pump that we are referring to:
