Promoted
by Grasim Industries and local Thai entrepreneurs,
Thai Rayon was incorporated in 1974. Thai Rayon
is the pioneer as well as sole manufacturer of
viscose staple fibre (VSF) in Thailand and is
listed on the Thailand Stock Exchange since 1984.
Thai
Rayon currently produces 110,000 tpa of VSF and
has commissioned a 30,000 tpa VSF expansion project
in mid 2008. Thai Rayon now has the capability
to produce 13,000 tpa of next generation cellulosic
fibre modal fibre, besides regular VSF.
It has commissioned a 20,000 tpa natural gas based
CS2 project, meant to cater to its increased requirement
of CS2 as well as eliminating dependence on scarce
wood charcoal.
With its four flexible VSF production lines, Thai
Rayon caters to the demands of both textile and
non-woven applications, producing VSF varieties
in the range of 0.8 to 5.0 denier, staple lengths
in the range of 32 mm to 101 mm, lustre of bright
bleach, semi-dull or full-dull, and also for chlorine-
free and anti-bacterial applications.
More
than 50 per cent of Thai Rayon's VSF throughput
is directly exported to more than 20 countries
worldwide. The VSF marketed under the brand 'Birla
Cellulose' meets the stringent quality expectations
of customers in USA, Mexico, Europe, Turkey, Canada,
Israel, Australia, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Middle-East.
Thai Rayon also produces about 85,000 tpa of Anhydrous
Sodium Sulphate as its by-product, which is widely
used by detergent, pulp, glass, leather and textile
industries.
Thai
Rayon is certified with ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditation
and is also a recipient of the coveted TPM award.
It has been rated as one of the Best Employers
in Thailand by Hewitt Associates, in the year
2005.
Thai
Rayon has significant investments in backward
and forward integration projects in Thailand,
Indonesia, Laos, China and Canada, as well as
several diversification projects in Thailand and
Egypt.
