Sri Trang Agro-Industry Public Company Limited
Sri Trang Agro-Industry makes and sells natural rubber, rubber gloves, and rubber plantation products to customers around the world.
Sri Trang Agro-Industry is one of the world's biggest rubber companies, and it makes money in two main ways: it sells raw natural rubber to factories that turn it into tires and other products, and it makes and sells latex gloves — the kind used in hospitals and clinics.
The rubber side is the older, bigger part of the business. The company runs its own rubber plantations and also buys rubber from thousands of small farmers, then processes it and ships it to buyers in China, Europe, and elsewhere. Its glove business, under the Sri Trang Gloves brand, grew fast during the pandemic when demand for medical gloves exploded, though prices have since cooled from those peaks. Sri Trang is based in Thailand's southern city of Hat Yai, close to the rubber farms that supply it. Being near the raw material and running plantations, processing, and gloves all under one roof gives it more control over quality and cost than a pure trader would have.
The business is very sensitive to rubber prices, which move with weather, global demand, and the health of the tire industry. Its big listed competitor on the glove side is Top Glove Corporation, and on rubber trading it competes with large producers across Southeast Asia. It pays dividends to shareholders, and its results swing with the rubber cycle rather than growing smoothly year after year.
