The acting chief executive noted that the marketing approach adopted for this year for S Khonkaen local food products is based on the concept "Everyone Deserves the Best", with concentration of the company's energy on research and development to achieve excellence in all areas, including taste, flavour, texture, affordability, consumption convenience and packaging, as a way to express thanks to the consumers for their loyalty to S. Khonkaen brand over the past 30 years.
Based on the said concept, the company has created and launched a new product - traditional white pork sausages with shiitake mushrooms. It is made of 100% pork meat, blended with crushed ingredients to add chewing pleasures, with shiitake mushrooms to maximise the meat's good taste and flavour, and with traditional fish sauce to offer best gastronomic experience. The product, which has been available on shelves at convenience stores since mid-April, is greeted with great enthusiasm, and it is rated a top-selling product at 7-ELEVEN stores.
"Convinced that 'Everyone Deserves the Best', we control the entire production process rigorously and meticulously, from materials selection to packaging design, in return for the customer loyalty to our S.

In early June, our traditional white sausage products will be available for purchase by Thai consumers at major convenience stores, supermarkets and shopping malls", commented he.
Given the said successful launch, SORKON is looking to create new products to assert its authority as a leader in the Thai local food market.
