About Us

Our company vision had been conceptualized by our late Chairman Mr. Sompon Sahavat.

We started in 1943 as a sawmill in Ratchaprasong as Thailand was using its natural resources to grow the economy.

We moved to Rama VI Bridge, the location of our head office today operating the plywood mill in 1966. Thailand economy was growing on import substitution growth.

After Thailand had ceases to cut logs from National Forest, in 1989, we decided to not use natural wood from the forest and became the first wood-based panel producer in Thailand, producing particleboard in our Chacheongsao factory.

In 1989, we built our first MDF plants in Chonburi and built more MDF plants and particleboard in the same location.

In 1994, we built our resin plant in Rayong and afterwards impregnation plants.

In 1995, Vanachai is listed and traded on the Stock Exchange as VNG.

In 1998, we built our Surat Thani particleboard plant. Today, this plant has 5 MDF line, 1 particleboard line, and 1 OSB line, making it the largest wood-based panel factory in Asia.

In 2008, we built our MDF and Partical board plants in SaraBuri.

In 2019, we build our Biomass powerplant in Surat Thani.

In 2020, we build our OSB Plant in Surat Thani.
