Taiwanese tire manufacturer Maxxis International Co. has reduced production in Thailand as it seeks to resolve a labor dispute in the Southeast Asian nation, its parent company said Wednesday. The Thailand subsidiary of Maxxis, the world's 10th largest tire brand, 'has decided to reduce production temporarily' as the company is negotiating with its workers in Thailand, Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co. said in a filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange. 'Full production will resume as soon as the negotiations are completed,' the statement reads. Maxxis also noticed that some of its production line workers were 'not actively working,' the statement said. Maxxis is one of several foreign companies that has been troubled recently by a series of worker strikes in Rayong, Thailand. The tire company distributes its products in approximately 170 countries and employs more than 22,000 people.
