Arburg Marks 25 Years in Thailand as Demand for Electric Injection Moulding Grows

Arburg is celebrating 25 years of its subsidiary in Thailand. The company established its own local organisation in 2001, having already maintained a representative office in the country since the 1990s. Arburg’s sales activities in Thailand therefore date back around four decades. The anniversary was marked on 9 October 2026 during an “arburgXcellence Day” held in Bangkok.

Largest Arburg showroom in Southeast Asia
Arburg delivered its first two machines to a customer in Thailand in the 1990s. A representative office was opened in 1992, followed by the founding of Arburg (Thailand) Co., Ltd. in 2001. In 2019, the subsidiary relocated to Samut Prakarn in the greater Bangkok area.

The site includes Arburg’s largest showroom in Southeast Asia, covering 705 square metres. The Thai subsidiary currently employs ten people.

According to Arburg, Thailand is continuing to gain importance as a manufacturing base for international companies, while customers’ technical requirements are also becoming more demanding. The local market is seeing a shift from hydraulic to electric injection moulding machines, the Thai subsidiary says.

Against this backdrop, Arburg Thailand is focusing not only on machine sales, but also on application engineering, turnkey projects and service.

Electric machines take centre stage
At the anniversary event, Arburg presented its new electric “Allrounder Trend”. The company used the machine series to highlight its response to growing demand for electric injection moulding solutions in Southeast Asia.

Arburg Thailand also recognised Polynet Public and Unique Sea Products for their long-standing cooperation. The Thai-German Institute in Bangkok/Chonburi, a non-profit educational institution and technology transfer centre, also received an award.

Management transition
The anniversary also marked the end of Ratree Boonsay’s tenure as Managing Director of Arburg Thailand. Boonsay had led the organisation since the subsidiary was founded in 2001 and had previously been responsible for the representative office.

She was officially bid farewell as she entered retirement during the event. Attendees included Steffen Kroner, Arburg’s Managing Director Finance, Controlling, IT and Global HR, as well as representatives from the company’s ASEAN and APAC organisations.
