Jalon (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Reaching Out to the Global Market from WHA ESIE 2

 

Established in March 2020, Jalon (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is the first overseas subsidiary of China-based Luoyang Jalon, which specializes in the production of molecular sieves, zeolite powder and activated alumina adsorbents. Known for their drying capabilities, these products are used across various sectors, principally industrial and medical gas, petrochemicals, oil refinery and water treatment.

With an annual capacity of approximately 60,000 tons, Luoyang Jalon is the largest producer of molecular sieves in Asia. As part of its international expansion strategy, it selected Thailand to serve its growing customer base overseas, while the Chinese plant will continue to serve the domestic market.

“Thailand came up as a natural choice for our international operations, as our two countries have a long-standing business relationship and many cultural values in common,” says Mr Robert Li, Managing Director of Jalon (Thailand) Co., Ltd. “And here in Thailand, we chose WHA Industrial Development without hesitation, due to the professionalism of its teams, the efficient support we received for documentation, permits and other requirements, plus the world-class infrastructure and services offered at WHA ESIE 2. Its location close to the Laem Chabang port is also an important advantage for importing our raw materials from China and exporting our finished products overseas.”

After purchasing 13.6 rai of land at WHA ESIE 2, the BOI-sponsored company started the construction of its new facility in November 2020. One year later, the plant is nearing completion, with an annual capacity of 12,000 tons, and the two production lines already under trial before full operations start in December 2021. “From here, our plan is to develop further the Thai market, explore new opportunities in Southeast Asia, and grow our sales in Europe and North America. The market is booming,” continues Mr Li with a confident smile.

As the newly established company studies the possibility of producing its raw materials locally within the next two years, discussions for further expansion are already underway with WHA Industrial Development’s representatives.
