Bangkok, 24 March 2025 — CRC Thaiwatsadu Co.,Ltd., under Central Retail, has reaffirmed its position as Thailand’s leading retailer of construction materials and home improvement products by winning the prestigious ‘Thailand Top Company Awards 2025’ in the Construction Materials category.

Organised by ‘Business+’ magazine under ARIP Public Company Limited in collaboration with the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, this annual awards programme honours outstanding companies demonstrating business excellence in their respective fields.

Thaiwatsadu’s win reflects its exceptional performance and commitment to sustainable growth while actively advancing its goal to become the ‘No.1 Omnichannel DIY Home Retailer,’ offering customers comprehensive access to construction materials and home products across all platforms, alongside long-term contributions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

Mr. Thanawat Jirangkapat, Chief Operating Officer of CRC Thaiwatsadu Co., Ltd., under Central Retail, expressed pride in receiving the ‘Thailand Top Company Awards 2025’ in the Construction Materials category, stating, “This award stands as a testament to Thaiwatsadu’s enduring success and determination to move beyond simply being a one-stop destination for construction and home improvement needs. For over 15 years, we’ve supported a diverse customer base—from homeowners, contractors, and real estate developers—across every region of Thailand. Today, Thaiwatsadu operates 88 Red Format standard branches and 17 White Format branches ( Hybrid Store) under the ‘Thaiwatsadu × BnB home’. Our strategy covers a wide-ranging product selection of over 50,000 items from trusted national and house brands, all at excellent value.”

Thaiwatsadu’s success also stems from its integration of innovation and technology through an omnichannel strategy, delivering a seamless shopping experience across offline and online platforms—embodied in its ‘Phygital’ approach. The company continues to foster stable employment, generating more than 200 local jobs at each of its branches nationwide.

Through initiatives in education and healthcare, Thaiwatsadu also supports community wellbeing, further extending its social impact through the long-running ‘Thaiwatsadu – Together, We Build Happiness’ programme, which drives community upliftment in both normal and crisis conditions.

Environmentally, Thaiwatsadu leads the way in building a green hardline retail model. It has installed solar rooftops across more than 90 branches, cutting greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of planting 2.5 million trees. It was also the first in the retail sector to introduce EV trucks as part of its green logistics transformation.

Most recently, the company joined the ‘Hug The Earth’ initiative, partnering with sustainable brands to offer eco-conscious products across all Thaiwatsadu and BnB home stores nationwide. These efforts are part of the broader ‘CRC CARE’ business philosophy by Central Retail, which strives to foster sustainable growth across all sectors of society.

“Thaiwatsadu would like to extend its sincere thanks to our customers, business partners, and all stakeholders for their unwavering support. We will continue to develop our business, innovate in service delivery, and set new standards, all while remaining a steadfast, sustainable presence in the lives of Thai people. Our commitment to leading the construction materials retail sector in Thailand remains stronger than ever,” concluded Mr Thanawat.

The ‘Thailand Top Company Awards 2025’ ceremony was held recently at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, where Mr. Thanawat Jirangkapat, Chief Operating Officer of CRC Thaiwatsadu Co., Ltd. under Central Retail, accepted the award in the Construction Materials category.
