The contribution will support a new campus for Anuban Nonglalok SAO School, alongside continued volunteer engagement from the BOTON Thailand team.
RAYONG, Thailand, 27 August 2026 — BOTON has pledged THB 5 million to support the expansion of Anuban Nonglalok SAO School in Rayong, Thailand. The contribution will help fund a new campus for the school, which currently operates at full capacity and hopes to provide education and care for more children in the local community.
A BOTON delegation led by Chairman Bao Zhifang recently returned to the school to meet with teachers and students, visit its facilities and learn more about its development plans. This will be BOTON’s largest community contribution in Thailand to date.
Supporting greater access to education
Anuban Nonglalok SAO School supports children facing challenging circumstances, including those whose parents work away from home, children without parental care and students with additional needs.
The school currently serves children from kindergarten through Grade 2 and aims to provide an inclusive environment in which students from different backgrounds can learn and develop.
During the visit, the BOTON team observed a Chinese-language class, toured the campus and watched performances prepared by the students. School representatives also shared plans for a new campus designed to extend access to more children in the local community.
BOTON’s relationship with the school began with earlier visits and support for student sporting activities. The THB 5 million pledge represents the next step in this continuing partnership.
Extending support beyond the contribution
BOTON’s involvement will not end with financial support.
As the school continues to develop its Chinese-language programme, colleagues from BOTON Thailand will volunteer to support language-learning activities and cultural exchange. The initiative is intended to create an ongoing connection between the school and the local BOTON team.
“Going global is about more than markets and manufacturing capacity. It also means bringing care and responsibility to the communities where we operate,” said Bao Zhifang, Chairman of BOTON. “Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and reach their potential.”
Growing alongside the Rayong community
BOTON Thailand began operations in June 2025 and has become an important part of BOTON’s global manufacturing network. Based in Rayong, the facility produces high-performance conveyor belts for customers in international markets and supports the continued development of BOTON’s global supply capabilities.
For BOTON, establishing a manufacturing presence in Thailand also means building lasting relationships beyond the factory gates. The school initiative forms part of the company’s broader approach to community engagement and responsible global growth.
A factory may mark the beginning of a company’s presence in a new country. Trust, however, is built through what happens next.
BOTON is proud to manufacture in Rayong—and proud to build its future alongside the local community.
