This has been another successful year for Araya The Eastern Gateway, a comprehensive smart industrial estate that confirms its role as a center for innovation and future industrial production. With total industrial land sales exceeding 600 rai (960,000 square meters), accounting for 40% of the total area, this achievement surpasses the set targets and reflects the confidence and interest from both domestic and international investors. Throughout 2025, the Araya The Eastern Gateway project was officially launched in February, distinguished by its strategic location on Bangna-Trad Road, Km 32 in Samut Prakan province, which provides convenient access to the Bangkok-Chonburi motorway, Suvarnabhumi Airport, the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), and Laem Chabang Port. It has also been approved by the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) as a smart industry under the SMART I.E. standard for the industrial area named Araya Industrial Estate, covering a total of 1,891 rai to fully support future target industries, elevate the country's industrial estates into the future, and enhance competitive capabilities.

Receiving approval as a SMART I.E. confirms our potential and commitment to setting new standards for Thai industrial estates. We are driving forward according to the principles of Smart Facilities, Smart IT, Smart Energy, Smart Good Corporate Governance, Smart Living, and Smart Workforce. Additionally, our strategic location on Bangna-Trad Road, Km 32, combined with an ecosystem design that fosters growth, has led significant international investors to choose Araya The Eastern Gateway as their investment base, further emphasizing our comprehensive potential in technology, logistics, sustainability, and human resources.
