▲ Example of tent warehouse by Tomas Engineering (Thailand)

Founded in 2012, Tomas Engineering (Thailand), has grown primarily through the sales, development, and design of FA-related equipment. In July 2021, we took over the industrial tent business from THAI TAIYO TENT CO., LTD., the Thai subsidiary of Taiyo Kogyo Corporation. In this article, we will discuss the current state three years after inheriting the business, as well as the outlook for the tent business in Thailand and new business ventures.

Taiyo Kogyo’s High-Quality Tents with an 8-Year Warranty

The "fixed tent warehouse" manufactured and sold by Taiyo Kogyo in Japan is an excellent structure for protecting customers' valuable products from harsh outdoor conditions such as rain, wind, and UV rays, making it ideal for use as a temporary logistics hub. However, in the Thai market, the focus often tends to be on the initial cost rather than long-term total cost performance. As a result, cheaper tents with lower durability, which prioritize price over quality, have dominated the market. High-quality tents have remained largely unrecognized, except among a select group of existing customers who prioritize quality and safety. Since inheriting the tent business, we have continuously explored what is necessary to establish ourselves as an independent tent manufacturer, navigating through trial and error. Taiyo Kogyo, a leading company in membrane structures with a 70% share of the global market and the top manufacturer in Japan. While the typical warranty for standard tents is around two years, we offer an 8-year warranty—an assurance made possible by our absolute confidence in the quality of our products.
