We are one of the biggest conglomerates in Thailand and some of you may have heard about us before. Apart from Thailand , SCG also has investment in ASEAN region such as Cambodia , Indonesia , Philippines , Malaysia and Vietnam . Especially in Vietnam, we have Vina Kraft which is a paper plant located in Bin Duong province and also TPC Vina which is a part of our SCG Chemicals unit.

I was introduced by Dr. Raimo (former Director of Department of Pulp and Paper Technology), Dr. Esa Viljakainen (current Director) and Ms. Suwannee Tilapornputt (a secretary of Pulp and Paper Department) about all of you who are alumni and current students of AITõ?Ts PPT and that you may be able to help spread the news for us.


Each year, SCG Foundation, established by SCG, will grant scholarships for young talent to further his/her study in Thailand and also in the country where we live.
