Ford Motor Co. has said it will build a $450 million car factory in Thailand, its first wholly owned plant in the country.

The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker will manufacture Focus cars for domestic and export markets at the factory, which is due to open in 2012. The plant in Rayong province, 200 kilometres east of Bangkok, will have an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles a year.

Some 85 percent of the Thai-based Focus output will be exported, mostly to other south-east Asian nations and to Australia.
