About This Site
The "Overseas Factory Construction Information Platform" is an information site operated by the CM Plus Group to support manufacturers expanding into Southeast Asia.
Where can you find reliable information
when building a factory overseas?
When considering a factory expansion into Asia, information such as typical costs for candidate locations, the real conditions of industrial parks, and licensing and permit procedures is often something you can only learn by visiting the ground yourself.
The Overseas Factory Construction Information Platform is an information portal operated by CM Plus, a company that has supported factory construction projects across Asia, drawing on its own local networks and hands-on experience. It is built for the people at Japanese companies responsible for overseas factory construction. We hope this site can help at every stage — from initial information gathering, to narrowing down candidate locations, through to project execution.

Four reasons you can trust the information on this site
First-hand information from our local subsidiaries in Asia
We have local subsidiaries in Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia, and we collect and verify information directly on the ground. Rather than relying on secondhand information circulating online, our content is based on the real, firsthand knowledge of our local staff.
Edited by people who manage factory construction projects
CM Plus, which runs this site, is a project management company for factory construction. We select and edit content from the perspective of knowing what information is actually needed on the ground.
Systematic coverage of 10+ countries across multiple themes
We cover more than 10 countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Information is organized by theme — construction and investment data, industrial parks, government permit procedures, and more — so it is easy to find what you need.
Launched in 2020, and continuously updated
Since launching, we have continually updated our content to reflect the latest developments on the ground. By combining accumulated research with timely columns, we aim to be a site you can keep using from the planning stage all the way through execution.
