On 18 June 2026, Zhang Aiping, Deputy Party Secretary, Vice Chairman and General Manager of Guangzhou Guangri Elevator Industry Co., Ltd., led a delegation to the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce. They held in-depth discussions with the Chamber and member companies on market opportunities in Thailand, Chinese companies going overseas, infrastructure cooperation and industrial collaboration.

A core company of Guangzhou Industrial Investment Holding Group, Guangri Elevator has more than 60 years of history. Its business covers elevator manufacturing, smart multi-storey parking equipment, smart building systems and digital solutions. It has ranked among the leaders of China's elevator industry for many years and among the world's top ten elevator brands.

At the meeting, Chamber representatives introduced Thailand's investment environment and the Chamber's services. As China–Thailand economic cooperation deepens and ASEAN keeps growing, more and more Chinese manufacturers are making Thailand a key base for their Southeast Asia strategy. Thailand's mature supply chains, location and investment promotion policies create a good environment for manufacturing, infrastructure and smart city projects.

Zhang Aiping said Southeast Asia has become a priority region for Guangri Elevator's international growth. The company hopes to use Thailand as a strategic base to expand across the region, and to support urban construction, industrial estate development and large mixed-use projects with its elevators, smart parking systems and integrated smart building solutions.

Participating companies shared their experience of investing in Thailand from the perspectives of financial services, construction, legal compliance and tax management.

Ms Dong Xin, founder and general manager of Z&X, said Chinese companies investing overseas should give high priority to building tax compliance systems, designing investment structures and improving operating mechanisms. Completing tax planning, setting up the finance system and assessing BOI investment promotion early, at the project preparation stage, helps reduce operating risk, improve investment efficiency and achieve steady long-term growth.

In recent years Z&X has helped manufacturing, construction, new energy, auto parts and high-end equipment companies set up in Thailand, building extensive experience in company formation, BOI applications, tax compliance, audit and operations advisory.

As Thailand continues to invest in infrastructure, accelerate industrial estate development and roll out smart city projects, smart buildings, elevators, smart parking and related industries will see new opportunities. Guangri Elevator's visit also shows that Chinese high-end equipment manufacturers remain confident in the Thai market.

Z&X will continue to use its professional strengths to help more Chinese companies enter the Thai market smoothly and grow internationally.
