Corporate Profile

Sri Trang Agro-Industry Public Company Limited was founded in 1987 under the management of Mr. Somwang Sincharoenkul, who had more than 40 years of experience in the rubber industry, together with Dr. Viyavood Sincharoenkul, a man with vision. The initial capital of the Company was 31 million baht.

The Company was initially set up as a producer and exporter of natural rubber which is one of the major agricultural products in southern Thailand. The management has continuously expanded the operation to support the growth of the domestic and international rubber industry’s demands. The company started with Ribbed Smoked Sheets, a main raw material of the automobile tyre industry. It began producing Concentrated Latex six years later to support the demand for latex examination gloves and elastic rubber thread industries. In 1997, the company started producing STR Block Rubber in response to a shift in demand toward this type of material from the automobile tyre industry. The Sri Trang Group has the total production capacity of 590,000 tonnes annually of which 198,000 tonnes is Ribbed Smoked Sheets (RSS), 218,000 tonnes is STR Block Rubber and 174,000 is Concentrated Latex. Sri Trang became one of the leading natural rubber companies in the industry by expanding into finished products.

The company has created partnerships with both domestic and international investors creating new companies which can support one another in their field with the availability of raw materials, technology and services. These partnerships are one of the key driving elements that will enable the company to become a fully integrated rubber producer and one of the largest rubber producers and exporters in Thailand. In order to achieve competitiveness in the international arena, Sri Trang has established Trading and Distribution Units in major regions to support the marketing activities and improve their ability to identify new market opportunities. This strengthens Sri Trang's position in the global market. The result of this continuous growth and expansion in production, trading and distribution, is that the group has achieved total sales of over 700,000 metric tonnes of natural rubber, resulting in a turnover in excess of a billion dollars.

At present, Sri Trang Agro-Industry Public Company Limited consists of 18 companies and 20 factories with assets worth more than 11 billion baht. These companies are both subsidiaries and affiliated companies originating from various joint venture projects. It is one of the largest groups in the rubber industry which is widely known and well recognised as a leader in this field.
