Historical Milestones and Strategic Partnerships
A Legacy of International Collaboration
Rojana Group holds a historic legacy as Thailand’s representative in signing the first major cooperation deal with China in recent history. The agreement was signed by former chairman Mr. Direk Vinichbutr and Mr. Long Yong Tu, China’s former Minister of Commerce responsible for China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) — a landmark event witnessed by both nations’ prime ministers.
Partnership with Nippon Steel
