Toshiba's plant in Pathumthani, located north of Bangkok, was shuttered for almost a year after a massive flood hit the country last year. Production at the facility restarted on November 1 and shipments began on Wednesday, Toshiba said. The company is building a new plant in Purachinburi in southeastern Thailand and expects to move all production to the new plant by spring next year.
