The students were warmly welcomed by Dr. Krittaya Mongkolwong, General Administrative Manager, who introduced them to Whale Logistics and its contributions to Thailand’s logistics industry. Following this, Miss Nareekan Green, Sales and Marketing Manager, delivered an engaging presentation on Whale Logistics’ operations, services, and market strategies. She highlighted how logistics companies facilitate efficient transportation and supply chain solutions, particularly in sectors like automotive and agricultural transport.
A key highlight of the visit was a guided tour by Mr. Thanaporn Wisankitti, Senior Business Development Manager, who took the students to the Free Zone in Sriracha. He provided an in-depth explanation of how Free Zones support trade and investment while streamlining manufacturing, assembly, and distribution processes. Students gained valuable insights into the advantages of Economic Free Zones, Industrial Free Zones, and Hybrid Free Zones and their impact on global supply chain operations.
