STA Chairman
Message from Chairman

In 2025, global business continued to navigate significant uncertainty from economic and political factors, impacting global trade and confidence. Key pressures such as U.S. reciprocal tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and exchange rate fluctuations weighed heavily on both businesses and households. At the same time, global climate risks have accelerated the necessity for systematic adaptation. In this era of transition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a decisive factor in productivity and competitiveness across all industries. Sri Trang Group has established a clear direction to become an AI-Driven Manufacturing leader. We are driving this transformation at both strategic and operational levels to continuously enhance our capabilities. Throughout the past year, we have focused on strengthening the foundation of our management team and workforce through the “SRI TRANG AI DIRECTION 2025” framework. This initiative emphasizes leadership development, workforce upskilling, and practical AI implementation across our entire supply chain, from production to support functions.

Regarding sustainability, we have integrated ESG policies into our core strategy for years. This commitment is recognized by international agencies including EcoVadis (Gold), S&P Global, and FTSE Russell. We have also maintained a SET ESG Rating of AAA for the third consecutive year and a 5-star CGR rating for seven years running. We believe future ESG competition will be defined by structure and technology rather than just reporting, and we have prepared our systems to maintain this competitive edge

The year 2025 was a challenging period for the natural rubber and glove industries, particularly following the implementation of the U.S. reciprocal tariff measures in early April. Nevertheless, the Company recorded total revenue of THB 113,478 million, remaining close to the previous year’s level, with natural rubber sales volume of 1,415,715 tons and glove sales of 37,102 million pieces. The Group also maintained a strong financial position, with total assets of THB 113,765 million, reflecting its resilience and ability to adapt amid continued market volatility

In 2026, Sri Trang Group will build upon the strong foundation established over the past year to strengthen our competitiveness under the evolving global structure. With business potential spanning the entire industry value chain, from rubber plantations and natural rubber production to glove manufacturing, the Group is well positioned to capture

future growth opportunities. We will accelerate practical AI implementation under the “Empowering AI” concept and further expand the deployment of our Manufacturing AI system, Sri Trang AI Machine (SAM), which has been continuously developed. This will range from shop-floor applications to advanced intelligent systems, enhancing operational efficiency, precision, and innovation. At the same time, we will continue to integrate ESG into our business to reinforce long-term competitiveness and sustainable growth.

Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders, investors, partners, customers, and our entire team for your unwavering trust and support. We remain committed to the relentless development of our organization to ensure stable growth and to create long-term value for all stakeholders.

Thank you.
