Suwatchai Phithakwongsaphon, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Atlas Energy Public Company Limited, or ATLAS, a distributor of liquefied petroleum gas under the PT cooking gas brand, revealed that the operating performance trend for the third quarter of 2026 is expected to grow favorably, driven by rising LPG consumption across all segments, including household, industrial, and automotive. At the same time, the company will begin recognizing revenue from three additional LPG filling plants, which will enhance its service capacity and support continued growth in sales volume. Currently, ATLAS is the market leader in automotive LPG and is accelerating expansion in the household LPG market to push its market share up from the previous level of 4.8 percent, assessing that the household LPG market still has high growth potential given a market size of more than 2 million tons per year. The company is therefore pressing ahead with marketing promotion activities alongside a plan to expand its Gas Shop network by another 130 to 150 branches within 2026, after adding 72 branches in the first half of the year, bringing the current total to 525 branches nationwide. In addition, ATLAS is the only operator producing the PT Alumax LPG cylinder, a seamless formed aluminum cylinder that is lightweight and strong, helping reduce the risk of cylinder seams, and the company is confident that sales in 2026 will grow at a double-digit rate, while targeting gas sales volume of more than 450,000 tons.
