Separately, Demco, or DEMCO, reported a first-half 2026 net profit of 30.2 million baht, up 519.4% from the same period last year. Chief Executive Officer Nattapong Korom said the current backlog stands at 2,699 million baht, to be gradually recognized as revenue within 2028, while the company pursues new business investment opportunities. Northeast Rubber, or NER, received an AGM Checklist assessment for 2026 at the excellent level of a full 100 points for the third consecutive year, and Starflex, or SFLEX, received an AGM Checklist score for 2026 in the 90–99 range, or the 4 gold-star level.

Starflex Public Company Limited, or SFLEX, a leading domestic manufacturer and distributor of flexible plastic packaging, disclosed that its operating performance in the third and fourth quarters of 2026 is expected to continue growing from the second quarter of 2026, which set a new record high. The company has invested in 10 additional machines for producing and attaching spout caps, on top of its existing 11 machines, to handle orders that have nearly doubled. As for its joint venture with Thai Union Group Public Company Limited, or TU, under Star Union Packaging, in which SFLEX holds a 51% stake, the project was delayed by about six months due to the conflict situation around the Strait of Hormuz. However, TU has now approved all orders and will begin gradually sending orders starting in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the first SKU in the packaging group for salmon products expected to generate revenue of approximately 100 million baht. For 2026, SFLEX is maintaining its revenue target at approximately 2.1 billion baht, up from about 1.9 billion baht in 2025.

SCG Packaging, or SCGP, has closed a deal to acquire a 90% stake in Jinjongfa Paper Industry Co., Ltd., or JZF, a paper packaging producer in Chonburi province, for 68 million baht. The investment will add 28,000 tonnes per year of production capacity, expand its customer base among Chinese customers and the fruit export market, improve cost and logistics management efficiency, and capture growth opportunities in the packaging business in the eastern region. SCGP will begin recognizing JZF's operating results in its consolidated financial statements from October 2026 onward. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer of SCGP, said JZF is a corrugated paper box packaging producer that emphasizes efficient cost management, has a core customer base of operators in the fruit export market to China, and has a factory in Chonburi province, a strategic location close to customers in the eastern region. In 2025, JZF had revenue of 205 million baht, total assets of 240 million baht, and production capacity of 28,000 tonnes per year. The investment aligns with SCGP's strategic plan to expand its consumer goods packaging business in the ASEAN region, while creating synergies in operations, cost and trade management, and the sale of other related products and services. It also helps distribute existing fruit packaging orders to JZF to increase margins across the business group through cost management and reduced logistics expenses.

Kasikorn Securities, or KS, said in an analysis that Siam Packaging Group, or TCG, a joint venture in which SCG Packaging, or SCGP, holds a 70% stake, has acquired a 90% equity interest in Jinjongfa Paper Industry, or JZF, for a total of 68 million baht. SCGP will begin consolidating JZF's operating results from October 2026 onward. JZF manufactures corrugated paper boxes in Thailand, with its main customers being Chinese fruit exporters based in the country. It has annual production capacity of 28,000 tonnes and in 2025 recorded revenue of 205 million baht and a net loss of 11 million baht. KS assesses that folding JZF's results into SCGP's consolidated financial statements may not yet be material in the short term, given that JZF is still loss-making, but that joining the SCGP group will help create business synergies, including leveraging the customer base, procurement and cost management, which is expected to gradually support profit from 2027 onward. Meanwhile, third-quarter 2026 operating trends may face pressure from higher coal costs and narrower paper price spreads, though a recovery in the performance of Fajar Surya Wisesa Tbk, or Fajar, could help offset some of the impact. SCGP still has roughly 3,000 to 4,000 million baht of capital expenditure remaining in 2026 to fund new projects.

SCGP will begin recognising JZF's operating results in its consolidated financial statements from October 2026 onward. JZF's main customers are fruit exporters to China; in 2025 it recorded revenue of 205 million baht, assets of 240 million baht, and production capacity of 28,000 tonnes per year. The investment is equivalent to 0.04% of SCGP's total assets under its consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2026, and does not constitute a material or connected transaction. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer of SCGP, said the investment aligns with the strategy of expanding the consumer packaging business in the ASEAN region and will help improve operational efficiency, cost management, and the distribution of fruit packaging orders to JZF to raise capacity utilisation and reduce transport costs.

BGC, or BG Container Glass Public Company Limited, under the Bangkok Glass group of companies, together with 7 other organizations, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to launch the "Glass Reborn" project, aimed at studying the operation of a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) model to promote the collection and recycling of used glass packaging in Mae Tha District, Lampang Province. The partners include Boon Rawd Brewery Company Limited, Green Spot Company Limited, Bang Or Recycling Group Company Limited, and B.S. Glass Recycling Company Limited, along with Pa Tan Na Khrua Subdistrict Municipality, Na Khrua Subdistrict Municipality, and Mae Tha Subdistrict Municipality. The launch event was held at Pa Tan Na Khrua Subdistrict Municipality in Lampang Province, with Mr. Bandit Charoen, Senior District Officer of Mae Tha District, presiding over the ceremony, together with Mr. Ronrapee Leelawong, Director of the Corporate Sustainability Office at BGC, who explained the operational guidelines to representatives of waste banks from 28 villages and opened the area for the public to join glass bottle collection activities. Throughout the event, members of the public brought a total of 10,945.5 kilograms of glass bottles for collection, while Pa Tan Na Khrua Subdistrict Municipality collected the most glass bottles and received an award from the inter-area glass bottle accumulation competition. This collaboration will continue for a period of one year, during which BGC and its partners will jointly monitor data and operational results to study which mechanisms can most effectively improve the collection and circulation of glass packaging at the local level, before applying the lessons learned to develop and expand the approach in other areas or contexts.

SCGP shares, or SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, continued to rise by 1.71% to 29.75 baht, after Tisco Securities Company Limited maintained its "Buy" recommendation and increased the fair value to 40 baht per share from 36 baht, based on an EV/EBITDA ratio of 10.8 times for 2027, in line with the company's historical average. The research department raised its profit forecasts for 2026-2028 by 9.3%, 9.1%, and 9.6%, respectively, after adjusting assumptions for packaging paper prices and profit margins. Despite concerns over rising imported recycled paper costs (RCP) and declining short-fiber pulp prices, the research department believes SCGP can still manage, as packaging paper prices continue to rise. The regional benchmark price in the third quarter of 2026 increased by 1.2% from the previous quarter, following a 5% increase in the second quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, domestic recycled paper prices, which account for 60-65% of raw material costs, fell by 10% in Thailand, significantly offsetting cost pressures. The pulp business is less concerning, as SCGP has adjusted its production mix to increase dissolving pulp, whose prices remain strong, and China's new capacity of 2.2 million tons per year is mostly integrated production, not all entering the market directly. While the stock price has risen 15% in three months, compared to the SET's decline of 0.7%, it still trades at an EV/EBITDA of around 7.7 times for 2027, below its historical average, and the research department's 2026 profit forecast is 8% higher than the market's.

For the second half of the year, BGC expects continued growth in operating results from increased recognition of BCM revenue, coupled with growth in existing businesses. The company aims to implement an Operational Excellence strategy to enhance production efficiency and manage the product mix toward value-added products, as well as manage cost risks by locking in raw material prices and volumes in advance.
