Songkla Canning Public Company Limited (SCC), a subsidiary of Thai Union Group, today announced that it will become i-Tail Corporation Public Company Limited (ITC) and be the official business of Thai Union's pet related operations.
The change from Songkla Canning to i-Tail Corporation will officially take effect today.
"The launch of i-Tail Corporation is the result of the continuing strength of Thai Union's PetCare business," said Thiraphong Chansiri, CEO at Thai Union Group. "As demonstrated by our second quarter financial results, PetCare is becoming an increasingly important part of the Group, with customers now spending more time at home with their pets because of COVID-19."
As a result of today's change, the existing SCC (ITC) plant will become the home of pet food production, with the production of human food shifted to other Thai Union plants.
"Further supporting the future growth of PetCare, Thai Union has deployed a new roadmap that utilizes innovation to enhance the nutritional aspect of our products," Chansiri said. "A key role of the Global PetCare Innovation (GPCI) and Global Innovation Centre (GIC) is to verify the innovation development and efficacy of our products, with the ultimate goal to bring health and longevity to the pets we serve."
