The company will invest Bt7 billion this year in building up its four major businesses – glass containers, float glass, non-glass packaging, and alternative energy. In the future, the alternative energy business will be interconnected with the existing businesses like the non-glass packaging business. “Meanwhile, the growth in the float glass business will take a certain period of time.”He said the company had recently opened its float glass factory on a 150-rai plot in Prachinburi province at a cost of Bt5 billion. We also expect our total revenue to increase by about 10 per cent this year, up from the between 4 per cent and 5 per cent growth posted in 2017,” said Pavin. Bangkok Glass’ subsidiary BG Container Glass Co Ltd is preparing to file for a public securities offering by April to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
