HSF Films (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Gearing up for International Growth with New Plant at WHA ESIE 4

Founded in 2008 with its headquarters in Wuxi (China),He Shuo Feng (HSF) Group specializes in developing and manufacturing coated and uncoated films for the global label industry. In 2019, the Group decided to expand overseas and established HSF Films (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to be closer to its Southeast Asian customers in various industries, ranging from consumer products to food and beverage, the tyre industry, and many others.

Initially, the local subsidiary rented its first production facility from WHA Industrial Development at ESIE (Rayong). Last February, as part of its expansion plan, the company purchased 12 rai of land at WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 4 (WHA ESIE 4). A BOI sponsored company, HSF Films is currently building a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant equipped with the most modern, automated, and environmentally-friendly technologies, and in line with international standards and certifications. The new manufacturing facility, three times larger than the present site, is expected to be completed in November 2023.

“Thailand quickly came out as our clear choice among Southeast Asian countries,” explains Mr. Ronnie Liew, the company’s managing director. A Singaporean citizen and an industry veteran of over 20 years, he foresees a promising outlook for HSF Films (Thailand). “We import base film raw materials from our headquarters in China and implement the next manufacturing steps in our Rayong plant, where we operate two coating lines. Over 50% of our production is exported to the US for now, but the markets in Thailand, neighboring Southeast Asian countries and India continue to grow significantly,” he relates.

Mr. Liew is confident in the company’s growth potential and already foresees further expansion within the next 3–4 years, targeting the addition of 2 more coating lines, and ultimately, a BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene, a material that increases stiffness, high tensile strength, excellent optics, and good water vapor barrier properties) line using advanced technology for more sophisticated label and graphic products. “WHA has proven to be a well-organized, efficient and supportive partner during the last four years. If things continue as planned and with our strong relationship with WHA, we can look to the future with optimism when it comes to expansion opportunities,” concludes Mr. Liew.
