Message from Management

Managing Director, Chemico Inter Corporation Co.,Ltd.

There have been many noticeable changes to Thailand’s cosmetic industry, particularly after the AEC was launched. Large businesses as well as SMEs are looking for channels to expand into the ASEAN market, in particular CLMV countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam) which have been exhibiting high economic growth rates. Therefore, you should see Thailand’s cosmetic industry growing in the opposite direction from the overall economy.

Chemico Group’s management strategy is to find new opportunities and expand itsmarketbeforeitscompetitors.Wecurrentlyhaveofficescovering2main continents, namely Asia (including the Middle East) and Europe, with plans to expand into Africa in the near future. Meanwhile, new offices and warehouses of Chemico Philippines, Inc and PT. Kemico Indonesia will be officially launched this year. Furthermore, Chemico Myanmar Co., Ltd. (Myanmar), Chemico Asia Pacific (M) Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia), Chemico Health and Beauty India Private Limited (India)'s cosmetic and food laboratories will also be ready to service customers this year.

Thailand saw many new statistics last past summer, include breaking the highest recorded temperature in 56 years when the maximum temperature hit 44 degrees Celsius. As an entrepreneur in the beauty and health business, we comprehend the dangers that arise from the sun's UV rays. As a result, we would like to provide you with some information on the benefits and dangers of UV rays, as well as information on sunscreen and other sun protection products.

Trade patterns in the beauty industry change continuously in tandem with consumers’ behavior, lifestyle and income. As a consequence, we don’t have a set blueprint for our 20-year long-term business development plan. Our next steps will be faced with new challenges as globalization surges from technology advancement. We will, therefore, need to develop and adjust our systems, as well as our staff to prepare for new events that may occur in the future. In conjunction, we will push Chemico Group forward to become a world class institution and to remain in consumers’ mind for a long time to come.
