- Thai Agro Energy Public Company Limited engages in the production and distribution of ethanol for fuel use, operating primarily through two segments: Ethanol and Soil Conditioner. The company manufactures ethanol with a purity of 99.5 percent by volume, utilizing raw materials including molasses and cassava. In addition to ethanol, it produces and sells bio potassium humate, a soil conditioner product that enhances soil quality by improving nutrient absorption, water retention, and soil structure. Thai Agro Energy holds investment promotion certificates from the Board of Investment of Thailand and operates manufacturing facilities in Thailand with advanced production technologies licensed from French company Maguin Interis. Founded in 2001, the company is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, and is a subsidiary of Lanna Resources Public Company Limited.
Recent significant developments include the acquisition of a 95.28 percent stake in Thai Agro Energy by Sunrise Equity Company Limited and Siam City Cement Public Company Limited in 2024, valued at approximately THB 800 million. This transaction, completed in late 2024, represents a strategic alliance aimed at business expansion and integration with related industries. Thai Agro Energy has also emphasized operational enhancements, energy conservation through bio-gas utilization, and the launch of innovative agricultural products such as bio potassium humate to support sustainable agriculture. The acquisition positions the company for growth under its new majority shareholders, who bring resources and expertise in cement and construction materials, potentially providing backward integration opportunities.
Thai Agro Energy serves markets within Thailand, focusing on the renewable fuel sector and agricultural inputs, targeting fuel vendors and agricultural producers. Its product offerings include ethanol fuel, fuel oil, and soil conditioners that promote sustainable farming practices. The company leverages modern manufacturing technology and environmental management systems to maintain its competitive position in the fuel ethanol and soil conditioner industries.
These changes highlight Thai Agro Energy's strategic shift towards integrated sustainable energy and agricultural solutions, supported by recent ownership restructuring and new product development. The company continues to operate from its Bangkok headquarters, maintaining its role as a key player in Thailand's biofuel and agricultural chemical sectors.
