Thai Maker of Paper Products Is Example for Other Small Firms, Says Premier.
Byline: Chatrudee Theparat
Jul. 25--A group of villagers who make saa paper and related products from mulberry trees has been hailed as an example for other cottage industries to follow as part of the "One Tambon, One Product" programme.
The group in Ban Tonpao, Chiang Mai, formed a small business, Preservation House, seven years ago to make saa paper from local resources. Their paper product range has expanded to include penholders, photo frames, gift boxes, flowers, greeting cards and notebooks.
After gaining a firm foothold in the domestic market, the group moved into sales abroad, establishing Sippakorn Co eight months ago to promote exports, taking over the role previously carried out by authorised agents.
Saisunee Thanasarn resigned from her job as a nurse to take full charge of managing Preservation House and the export company, succeeding her mother, Fongkhum Lapinta, who wanted to step because of her age.
The exports to Japan, Europe and United States gross about 900,000 baht a month.
"As this business is just beginning, we have to learn a lot, especially about quality and punctual delivery," Ms Saisunee said.
