Bangkok, 4 November 2025

BIG and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the “Study and Development of Technology and Innovation for Industrial Estate Infrastructure.” The collaboration aims to jointly promote and develop the future of Thailand’s industrial sector toward sustainable and environmentally friendly growth. The signing ceremony took place on 4 November 2025 at the IEAT Headquarters, with Mr. Sumet Tangprasert, Governor of the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), and Mr. Ramani Velu, Managing Director of BIG, serving as the signatories.

Mr. Sumet Tangprasert, Governor of IEAT, stated that IEAT, as a government agency, is committed to enhancing industrial estate management through the adoption of technology and innovation. The focus is on supporting infrastructure, utilities, and facilities that utilize low‑carbon and environmentally friendly technologies. This collaboration aligns with the Ministry of Industry’s policy and serves as a key mechanism to reduce environmental impacts from industrial operations, steering the country toward its goals of Carbon Neutrality and Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Under this partnership, IEAT and BIG will jointly explore the feasibility of implementing the project in selected high‑potential pilot industrial estates. BIG will introduce innovation and technology to develop industrial gas infrastructure in these areas, with plans to expand to other suitable industrial estates in accordance with the framework established in the MOU.

“IEAT will continue to drive the Thai industrial sector toward a new, environmentally friendly industrial economy—Green Transition to New Economy. We will collaborate with all sectors, both public and private, to develop sustainable and eco‑friendly industrial estates and help propel Thailand toward a low‑carbon economy,” said Mr. Sumet.

Mr. Ramani Velu, Managing Director of BIG, added, “BIG is proud to collaborate with IEAT on this pilot project to advance low‑carbon industrial gas infrastructure. With our long-standing experience in Thailand’s industrial estates, this partnership reflects our strong commitment to applying technology and innovation to support a concrete transition toward a green economy. It also enhances the competitiveness of Thailand’s industrial sector toward sustainable and environmentally responsible growth, in line with our business strategy, Generating a Cleaner Future.”

Under this MOU, IEAT will provide data support, participate in feasibility studies, and consider preparing suitable facilities for infrastructure development within industrial estates to help ensure the success of the pilot project. Meanwhile, BIG will focus on developing low‑carbon and environmentally friendly industrial gas infrastructure to enhance the capabilities of Thailand’s industrial sector and support the transition toward a sustainable new industrial economy.
