Strong Growth Fueled by Cost and Sales Management
KCG Corporation Public Company Limited has announced a robust financial performance for the first half of 2025, with its net profit soaring by 33.1 percent year-on-year to reach THB 221.1 million. The company, a prominent leader in food products in Thailand, attributes this impressive growth to its strong sales momentum and effective management of both production and operational expenses. In the second quarter alone, sales reached THB 1,896.2 million, marking a 12.3 percent increase from the previous year, while the quarterly net profit grew by 4.7 percent to THB 99.0 million. This sustained growth, achieved despite the challenges posed by rising raw material costs, demonstrates the company’s operational resilience. KCG’s chief executive, Mr. Damrongchai Vipawatanakul, expressed confidence that the company will maintain its growth trajectory in the second half of the year, supported by a stabilization of raw material prices and ongoing efficiency enhancements.
Strategic Position in a Changing Trade Landscape
KCG Corporation business strategy has positioned it favorably to navigate recent shifts in the global trade environment, specifically the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States on goods from Thailand. While the new 19 percent tariff rate may impact other exporters, the company expects its own business to be minimally affected, as it does not currently export products to the United States. This strategic focus on domestic and regional markets shields the company from the immediate negative consequences of the new trade policies. In fact, the company sees a potential upside, suggesting that it could benefit from opportunities to import raw materials or finished goods from the U.S. should tariffs on such imports become economically favorable. This proactive approach could further enhance KCG’s sourcing capabilities and improve its overall competitiveness in the Thai market, turning a regional challenge into a strategic advantage.
Commitment to Sustainability and Corporate Excellence
Beyond its financial success, KCG Corporation has made sustainable development a cornerstone of its corporate strategy. The company is dedicated to conducting its business in line with principles of good corporate governance and creating long-term shared value for all stakeholders. This commitment has been recognized through several prestigious awards in the first half of 2025. For the second consecutive year, the company was selected as one of the ESG100 companies by the Thaipat Institute, a testament to its outstanding performance in environmental, social, and governance practices. KCG also received a perfect score of 100 points in the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting assessment by the Thai Investors Association for the second year in a row. Further solidifying its reputation, the company’s products received the internationally recognized Superior Taste Awards, and it secured the HALAL BPJPH certification, a mandatory Halal standard in Indonesia, reflecting its dedication to quality, safety, and cultural sensitivity.
