The year 2025 was marked by significant challenges arising from multiple uncertainties, including natural disasters, political volatility, border conflicts, and structural risks associated with an aging society. The subdued economic environment resulted in weakened purchasing power and persistently high household debt levels. In addition, external factors including geopolitical conflicts, slow global economic growth, the impact of import tariff policies implemented by major economies such as the United States, and climate change further contributed to a challenging business environment. Amid rising costs, growing environmental awareness, and evolving consumer behavior, the Company closely monitored these developments and adjusted its operational strategies in a timely manner. Through continuous assessment and analysis of potential impacts, the Company promptly refined its business plans, resulting in satisfactory operating performance. The Company reported total revenue of Baht 5,193 million and net profit of Baht 195 million and remains committed to moving forward with strong operational standards and the continuous delivery of quality services.

      In terms of business operations, the Company continues to serve as a distributor for leading global manufacturers, including ExxonMobil Chemical, Celanese Pte Ltd., Eastman Chemical, and Chi Mei Corporation. The Company is one of Thailand’s most comprehensive distributors of plastic resins, additives, and related chemicals for the plastics and petrochemical industries. In addition, the Company’s research and development team operates under the GIC brand, further strengthening the Company’s product portfolio and competitive capabilities. Beyond delivering consistent financial performance, the Company places strong emphasis on good corporate governance, risk management, internal control, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company also recognizes the importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and sustainable business practices in creating long-term value and ensuring sustainable growth across all dimensions. As a result of its continued commitment, the Company has been rated “Excellent” in corporate governance by the Thai Institute of Directors Association (IOD) for the ninth consecutive year, reflecting the Company’s transparent and ethical business practices and its ongoing commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The Company also promotes continuous learning, encourages innovation, and prioritizes research and development as key foundations for sustainable business growth in the future.
