Delta Thailand received the Prime Minister’s Best Industry Award 2023, which is the highest honor above all other Prime Minister’s Industry Award categories given to only one select company each year. The Best Industry Award category recognizes Delta Thailand’s sustainable development strategy and all major milestones and actions that have driven development in Thailand’s industry as outlined in the government’s Thailand 4.0 policy and BCG model. Since 1981, the Ministry of Industry has selected outstanding industrial enterprises for the Prime Minister’s Industry Award to boost development and set role models for excellence in Thailand’s industry. All companies applying for the top Best Industry Award category must first win at least three sub-categories to qualify and only one company is selected from three candidates for this top category each year. This is the second time Delta Thailand received the top Best Industry Award.

With a 35-year legacy in Thailand, Delta Thailand has actively promoted the growth and transformation of the Thai industry through automation and green solutions. The company has also established deep connections with local employees, communities, customers, and the supply chain. Additionally, Delta has been recognized with the MIND Ambassador Award for its contributions to enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of the Thai industry. H.E. Mr. Srettha Thavisin, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand, presented the two awards to Mr. Victor Cheng, Delta Thailand CEO, and Mr. Jackie Chang, President and COO. Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Victor Cheng said, “Delta is proud to receive the top honor once more from the Prime Minister of Thailand, after 11 years, and receive the MIND Ambassador Award. For 35 years, Delta has continued our sustainable growth and supported the development of the nation’s manufacturing industry and society. Today, Delta demonstrates our unceasing commitment to innovation and to Thailand with long-term investment supporting the local electronics industry and R&D talent development. We sincerely thank all our customers, partners, employees and communities in Thailand for their ongoing trust in Delta.”
