Starting from a registered capital of 500,000 and five staff in 1962, Mr. Chavarat Charnvirakul founded Sino-Thai Engineering Limited Partnership to fabricate steel structures for the growing Thai construction industry. It was in 1967 that the Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction Company Limited (STECON) was registered to facilitate the enormous growth Sino-Thai was experiencing. By the 1970’s, STECON was expanding very rapidly as well as gaining recognition from the industry and customers as a contractor with punctuality and high technical standards.
STECON’s business was then diversified to include construction contracting, sales, maintenance and repair of industrial machinery, and property development. The rapid growth continued until the late 1980’s and well into the early 1990’s despite the world-wide recession of that period.
The continuing record of growth finally made STECON the first construction company to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1992 with registered capital of 300 million Baht.
Today, STECON Group, with over ten affiliates, is among the top construction companies in the country and is active at the regional level. STECON’s comprehensive track record on large infrastructure and industrial projects, with satisfied local and international clients, demonstrates its ability to continue to grow as well as demonstrating why we have sustained our leading position for over four decades.
