PTT Oil and Retail Business Plc (OR), Thailand's largest oil and coffee shop operator by volume, is pushing ahead with its new vision to partner with startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) over the next eight years to achieve rapid growth of non-oil businesses together.
One project involves integrating products and services offered through physical platforms with online platforms, which is expected to launch by the end of this year, said Jiraphon Kawswat, president and chief executive of OR.
Petrol stations, convenience stores and other non-oil businesses operate on a brick-and-mortar model in Thailand and 10 Asian countries.
