The change was a result of net sales increasing Bt72.56 million, or 6.05 per cent, since the company began attempting to maintain its customer base and enhance competitiveness through product diversity and confidence in quality.
In addition, the production process was improved for maximum efficiency, in order to compensate for the price increases of raw materials.
