Crocodile, a true innovator in the construction industry that has won the hearts of professional craftsmen across the region, continues to reinforce its position as the number one leader in Tiling Innovation. The company is launching the Crocodile Tiler X Vietnam competition, led by Mr. Pongpan Prateepmanowong, Assistant Managing Director of International Trade at Crocodile Corporation Ltd., along with executives from Crocodile Corporation Ltd. and Crocodile Vietnam Ltd. The event aims to discover top-tier tiling craftsmen, adhering to the competition standards of "true professionals" to elevate the profession of tilers to modern, skilled levels under international standards. This initiative also promotes growth and advancement opportunities for international tilers, recently held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Mr. Pongpan Prateepmanowong, Assistant Managing Director of International Trade at Crocodile Corporation Ltd., stated that the Crocodile Tiler X competition in Vietnam is the second event of its kind. It aims to continuously develop a high-quality skilled workforce in Vietnam and expand its impact to the Southeast Asian region. The goal is to transform the image of tilers in the region to meet the demand for skilled labor recognized by international construction standards. The competition also aims to raise awareness among craftsmen in the region about the importance and understanding of using "cement adhesive" products suitable for different types of tiling work, emphasizing the use of "quality products in the right way" to meet the demands of the modern construction industry that increasingly values the expertise of craftsmen.

The 'Crocodile Tiler X' competition will select representatives from skilled craftsmen across Southeast Asian countries based on criteria equivalent to international professional standards in terms of technique, speed, precision, and safety. Winners from each country will participate in an upskilling program, receiving training and experiencing international tiling innovations in Thailand at the headquarters of Crocodile Corporation. This will elevate work standards and provide an opportunity to visit Crocodile stores, factories, and distribution centers in Saraburi, as well as the Crocodile brand museum, while also experiencing the beautiful Thai culture throughout the trip.


The "Crocodile Tiler X" competition underscores our vision of creating a long-term positive impact on the construction industry and skilled labor in the region. It serves as a competition platform similar to WorldSkills for the Tiling profession in the region. We are confident that this platform will reflect the value and dignity of the tiling profession, which is often overlooked, and elevate the recognition of the potential of craftsmen in the region to be on par with those from other countries.
