Guardian Glass opens new Asia-Pacific headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand

Guardian Glass opened a new headquarters state-of-the-art regional headquarters and Customer Service Hub for the Asia-Pacific region, located in Bangkok, Thailand.

The new facility, in the center of Bangkok, is a collaborative space that forms the base for the global manufacturer’s Asia-Pacific business. Around 50 Guardian employees will work at the new hub, including general management and administration, marketing, supply chain, sales, finance and HR roles.

The move will enable Guardian to more efficiently and effectively serve its customers. Customers in the region will have a more seamless experience, dealing directly with a single customer service team rather than communicating directly with individual Guardian Glass plants.

Alexis Underwood, General Manager for Guardian’s Asia Pacific region, says:

“Physically we are now closer to our customers in the region, as well as the heart of the industry,” says  Alexis Underwood, general manager for Guardian’s Asia Pacific region. “Our customers, architects, interior designers and developers will benefit from an integrated system, managed by a skilled team with shared knowledge and expertise centralized in one location.”

Guardian first invested in Thailand in 1991, launching a float glass plant in Nong Khae. A second glass plant was built in Rayong in 1996, and Guardian has continued to invest and grow in the country. More than 50 percent of Guardian’s business is now exported outside of Thailand.

“We’re excited to continue expanding our presence in Thailand,” says Underwood. “Guardian Glass is committed to the APAC region and this next step in our transformation comes on the heels of our recent lamination line investment.”
