Chemico sets aside Bt350m for second Thai centre, African expansion
Chemico International Corporation, a Thai importer and distributor of raw materials for the health and beauty industry, has earmarked Bt350 million to open its second International Health and Beauty Centre in Thailand and nine new branches in Africa this year, managing director Prasob Polakitkitti said on Monday.
With this aggressive expansion plan, the company is hoping to achieve 15-per-cent revenue growth via the initiative, he said, adding that the new Thai and overseas facilities could accommodate about 200 employees.
Headquartered in Thailand, Chemico has nine branches in eight countries: the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, India, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
With over 400 employees, more than 170 of whom are science-based, Chemico’s Thai and Indonesian facilities received ISO 9001 certification in 2008 and 2016, respectively.
