Authorities in Samut Sakhon’s Muang city yesterday discovered three Chinese factories had broken a number of laws, and they had suspended operations on them.
Following concerns from local people about dark smoke emissions from these companies at night, the Industry Ministry and the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division of the Royal Thai Police conducted the checks.
They apparently participated in the processing of non-hazardous spend materials like scrap metal and metal debris as well as metal refining.
Specialists claim that the first center was operating without a notification of its plastic-mattering activities. At the next shop, a large number of electrical circuits sheets, which were classified as hazardous substances, were found.
A 39-year-old Chinese federal who has been detained and charged with operating both companies without proper notice, expanding manufacturer operations without authorization, and processing toxic materials without authorization has been charged with these offenses.
The assessment team detained the mill director, who was identified as Yee Kwat, after finding that the factory, which specialized in metal smelting, had broken a number of rules at the next site.
In a separate evaluation, officials searched a mill producing electrical switches, energy plugs, sockets, and related products and found them to be poor.
Seized from the premises were 83, 200 sets of extension plugs, 42 rolls of copper cables, and 50 household electrical items, with an estimated value of nearly 5 million baht.
The factory owner was accused of breaking the law governing industrial products, including dispensing goods without proper authorization and disseminating items that didn’t meet safety regulations.
Pongpol Yodmuangcharoen, secretary to the industry minister, said the operations were all suspended, and the confiscated equipment would be destroyed as they failed to comply with the regulations.
