After a transition from military rule to a civilian government in 2011 along with its open door policy, Myanmar has become a progressive nation.
With fast economic growth and rapid increase in overseas investment, Myanmar has been called the Last Frontier of Asia.
With developing industrial parks, commercial facilities and the combined consortiums of Myanmar and Japan and the development entity, the Thilawa Special Economic Zone is reaching new heights. The special economic zone is located in the Thilawa area, about 23 km southeast from the city center of Yangon.
The development here is looking forward to create infrastructure similar to developed countries, calling for overseas investment, creation of jobs and eventually expanding to the whole country.
The Japanese KUBOTA Corporation is in charge of water supply, water purification and sewage treatment equipment.
In Myanmar, where the water-environment countermeasures are being advanced and not enough operational control technicians are there, Kubota Corporation is establishing a regular patrol service system and supporting the stable operation of the delivery facilities.

Eventually it will be filtered in that sand filtration tower, sterilized with chlorine and provided to tenant companies."
"For Kubota Corporation, making suggestions on the total solution of water infrastructure, expanding the Kubota water environment package model of Thilawa Industrial Park inclusive of construction and maintenance to the ASEAN region and contributing to an environment-friendly economic development is our mission," Omori added.
