CHAB is strengthening its nationwide support in Thailand with the opening of its new Rama II branch. The event also showcased Volvo’s New Generation excavators to key customers in the central region, generating strong interest and the first New Generation EC360 sales in the Thai market.
Volvo Construction Equipment’s dealer in Thailand, Chairatchakarn Bangkok (CHAB), marked a major milestone in October with the grand opening of its new facility in Rama II, Bangkok. This expansion further enhances CHAB’s existing network and its ability to support customers across Thailand, particularly those in the central region and the capital.
To celebrate the opening, CHAB also hosted a roadshow featuring Volvo’s New Generation excavators, which were launched earlier this year. More than 70 guests attended the event, including key customers from Central Thailand eager to see both the upgraded dealer facilities and the latest additions to Volvo’s excavator lineup.
The event drew strong interest, with customers spending time exploring the New Generation EC210 and EC360 machines, alongside the EW145B Prime. Several deals were confirmed during the event, including the first EC360 sales in the Thai market, an important milestone for Volvo CE’s newest heavy-duty excavator in the country.
Buoyed by the positive customer response and growing demand for the EC360, CHAB has since placed an additional order for three more units of the EC360 to support mining and quarry operations in Thailand.
Nunnapin Petcharapirat, CEO of CHAB, said: “The new Rama II branch represents our commitment to providing stronger, faster, and more accessible support for our customers in the central region. With this expansion and the introduction of Volvo CE’s New Generation excavators, we are confident in our ability to help customers elevate their productivity and efficiency.”
Volvo CE also highlighted the significance of the dealership’s continued growth.
Raven Chua, Head of Market West, Volvo CE, adds: “CHAB is an exceptional partner for Volvo CE in Thailand, and their new Rama II facility is another strong step forward in delivering premium support to customers. We are excited to see the enthusiastic response to our New Generation excavators and look forward to building on this momentum together.”
With new facilities, a successful customer event, and strong early demand for the EC360, CHAB, and Volvo CE are well-positioned to serve Thailand’s fast-developing construction, mining, and quarry sectors.
