A.P.C.
Industries Co., Ltd. was established in 1969 by a
group of Thai engineers to produce at first a jointless flooring
materials with technology from Germany. A production plant was built
on Ramindra Road in the eastern suburb of Bangkok. Gradually production
was expanded to include emulsion paints, enamel paints, multi-coloured
paints and several kinds of textured finishes for the building industries,
and traffic paints and thermoplastic road marking materials for
the road marking industries.
In 1973 another company,
A.P.C.I. Co.,Ltd., was registered by the group to carry out painting
and road marking contracts using A.P.C. Industries' products. A.P.C.I.
is an approved road marking contractor to the Thai Department of
Highways for Cold Paint, Hot Paint and Thermoplastic Road Marking
Contracts.
In 1990 the company
started a plant to manufacture reflective glass beads in Bangchan
Industrial Estate, operating under the supervision of the Industrial
Estate Authority of Thailand, in Bungkum District of Bangkok. Eventually
all the paint and thermoplastic facilities were moved from Ramindra
to Bangchan where the company has a total land area of nearly 16,000
sq.m.
To meet increase
in demand of its thermoplastic road marking materials and reflective
glass beads, the group formed Prachin
Traffic Products Co.,Ltd. to set up a factory for
these products in Prachinburi, about 120 km. east of Bangkok, in
1996. After receiving the Thai Government Board of Investment promotional
privileges, Traffic Products began production at the end of 1997.
