Sunsweet Public Company Limited, or SUN, is preparing to begin testing the systems and machinery of its Sun Pack project, a project to install machinery for packaging sweet corn in paper box packaging, in October 2026. The machinery has already been moved into the factory area and is currently being installed. Production is expected to begin in November 2026, before entering the process of obtaining various standards certifications. As Weera Noppawatanakorn, Director of the Accounting and Finance Department, told Than Hoon, the company expects to begin commercial sales and deliver products to customers at the earliest by the end of 2026, or at the latest in early 2027, and will begin recognizing revenue from the project from early next year onward. Some orders have already begun to come in, and the company has started ordering production of boxes according to the specified design. If the market responds well, it may consider investing in a second set of machinery in the future. The installation of the new machinery does not significantly affect the overall capacity utilization rate. Currently, SUN has total production capacity of approximately 300,000 tons per year and a capacity utilization rate of approximately 50%. Meanwhile, in mid-October, which coincides with the vegetarian festival, the company expects demand for its products to increase from normal levels, since its main products are plant-based products that appeal to vegetarian food consumers. At the same time, the company is maintaining its revenue growth target for 2026 at approximately 10-15%, supported by the weakening of the baht, which helps increase its export competitiveness.
