Challenge 01
Head office wants production in twelve months
Our answer
A fabrication slot is booked at order from 2,500 T of monthly capacity, and the steel is shipped in erection sequence so your contractor starts on arrival.

What you need
A plant that starts production on the date head office set
Whether you are a Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Taiwanese group opening a first plant in the EEC, or a Thai manufacturer adding a second line, the building is on the critical path: the production hall, the raw-material warehouse, the cold store. Machines are already ordered, staff are being hired and the start-of-production date is fixed.
You need a steel supplier that designs to the codes your head office knows, documents quality the way your corporate auditor expects, and delivers to Thai permit requirements without a second round of redesign.
- Start of production on the agreed date
- Crane runways, mezzanines and process loads in one design
- International quality documentation for the corporate auditor
- Approval drawings your Thai licensed engineer can sign
- A fixed price, CIF to a Thai port or DDP to site
Your challenges, our answers
What manufacturers tell us, and how we answer
Challenge 02
Our engineers work to JIS, Eurocode or AISC
Our answer
We design to the code you choose and check it against Thai wind and seismic loads (DPT 1311-50, 1301/1302-61) for your province.
Challenge 03
The auditor needs full traceability
Our answer
Mill certificates to EN 10204 3.1, inspection and test plan, weld and NDT records and paint thickness readings, piece by piece.
Challenge 04
Cranes and machines change the loads
Our answer
Crane runway girders, brackets and fatigue checks are part of our design, coordinated with your crane supplier's wheel loads.
Challenge 05
The estate and insurer ask for fire rating
Our answer
Intumescent paint up to R120 applied in our factory, with the product data and thickness report for the estate engineer.
Challenge 06
We have never imported steel to Thailand
Our answer
Every shipment carries invoice, packing list and Form D for the ATIGA tariff. Choose DDP and we handle clearance, duty and trucking too.

FAQ
Questions Thai clients ask us
Can you design to Japanese, Chinese or European standards?
Yes. We design to AISC, Eurocode, AS/NZS or JIS as your group specifies, and check the structure against Thai wind and seismic standards for your province.
Who signs the drawings for the Thai permit?
Your Thai licensed engineer (กว.) reviews and signs. We prepare the calculation package and drawings and answer every review comment.
Do you build the factory as well?
No. We are the manufacturer and supplier of the steel structure. Foundations, erection and other trades stay with your Thai contractor, and we support them with an erection manual and a site advisor on request.
Can we inspect the steel before it ships?
Yes. You can visit our factory in Tay Ninh, send a third-party inspector, or join a live video audit of your own members.
Can the building take an overhead crane later?
Yes, if we know now. We design the columns, brackets and runway girders for the future crane so it can be added without strengthening.
