PTT Public Company Limited marked its 48th anniversary with a stakeholder appreciation event, having generated more than 1.38 trillion baht in government revenue while advancing Thailand's economy toward sustainability. The celebration at The Athenee Hotel Bangkok was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn Nilprapath as opening guest, Energy Minister Eknath Prom-punthumit, Industry Minister Warrawuth Silpaathacha, PTT Board Chairman Wuthikai Lewveeraphandu, and President and Chief Executive Officer Kongkraphan Intrachaeng.
Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn highlighted PTT's critical role since the Chatichai Choonhavan era in the 1970s, emphasizing the company's importance in ensuring Thailand's energy security and economic development. He stressed that energy security is now as vital as food security amid unprecedented global challenges, and praised PTT for its forward-looking vision in navigating uncertain times.
Board Chairman Wuthikai credited 48 years of stable growth to support from government agencies, financial institutions, business partners, international networks, and the Thai public. He noted that successive PTT leaders have consistently advanced the organization's vision across generations, with dedicated management and workforce enabling the company to grow stronger and fulfill its mission of providing energy security while supporting communities and the environment.
President Kongkraphan stated the event, themed "From Strong Foundations to Sustainable Future," expressed gratitude to all stakeholders who backed PTT's 48-year journey in building energy security, developing the petroleum and petrochemical industries, and creating employment and economic value. PTT has evolved from surveying and developing natural gas in the Gulf of Thailand to becoming woven into Thai life, from energy producer to travel experience provider through its service stations. The company remains committed to business growth while standing alongside Thai society through social and environmental programs and supporting citizens during crises through energy cost relief.
