Company Profile

Message from the Managing Director


 
Managing Director  /  Toshihiro Hayakawa

Our company expanded businesses from Japan to Thailand in 1973, and has been manufacturing and selling switchboards, control panels, etc., mainly for Japanese factories in Thailand for over 50 years since then. Our distinctive feature is to provide the integrated system of marketing, production, sales and services by our own employees, from inquiries, quotations, order receiving,design, sheet metal processing, painting, assembly, inspection, delivery, installation and after-sales services. Thanks to customer evaluation on the overall performance of our quality, delivery time, cost and services, our company has been surviving in Thailand for almost five decades. I am very appreciative of the kind support from all customers. In 2017, it became a subsidiary of Kawamura Electric Inc. in Japan, blending “customized technologies” of Thai Aichi Denki Co., Ltd. and “standardized technologies” of Kawamura Electric Inc., and generating mutual synergy effects. We are also actively challenging new product development, new local market and new businesses. From 2018 to 2021, we have made a major renewal of factories, warehouses, etc. and have implemented high quality and highly efficient "manufacturing“ with state-of-the-art production equipment. In the future, our company will develop businesses not only in Thailand but also in the entire ASEAN region. To that end, we believe that further upgrade of quality, delivery time, cost and service, and enhancement of proposal capabilities from customers' perspective will be the key points. Different countries have different languages and cultures, and there is a variety of issues to deal with, but as a member of the same ASEAN countries, we will make a small contribution to help ASEAN grow further in the future.
