The Siam Gypsum Industry (Saraburi) Co., Ltd
About Elephant Gypsum Board
The Siam Gypsum Industry, also known as “Elephant Gypsum Board,” was established in July 1982 with the aim for manufacturing and supplying gypsum wall and ceiling solutions. Elephant Gypsum Board products are divided into six categories: gypsum boards, gypsum ceiling tiles, metal profiles, gypsum compounds, gypsum partition systems, and accessories for walls and ceilings. In 2021, Elephant Gypsum Board changed its main shareholders and entered a joint venture with Siam Cement Group (SCG), the leading innovative construction materials and chemicals company in Thailand, and A Knauf Group- the world’s leading manufacturers of construction materials for interior design, building insulation and design ceilings in Germany.
Elephant Gypsum Board currently operates three factories and has a yearly production capacity of more than 100 million square meters of gypsum boards, allowing it to service the needs of customers throughout the country, including customers from more than 28 countries. The two plants are in Saraburi province’s SIL Industrial Estate. The rest is in Songkhla’s Southern Industrial Estate, with the headquarter in Bangkok. Our dedicated management teams and employees are eager to provide product expertise on the entire range of system solutions for both ceiling and internal wall systems.

Sustainability
Elephant Gypsum Board defines its sustainable business framework by integrating innovation and expertise to create added value. Simultaneously, we aim to drive momentum within the business and industrial sectors toward long-term social and environmental responsibility. In 2021, Elephant Gypsum Board registered the Carbon Footprint for Products (CFP) with the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO), a key component in green building assessment criteria such as the TREES (Thai’s Rating of Energy and Environmental Sustainability) standard by the Thai Green Building Institute (TGBI). Furthermore, our products are certified for low toxicity, meeting low VOC emission requirements under the CDPH Standard Method v1.2-2017 (California Department of Public Health). This compliance aligns with LEED standards (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design), an internationally recognised certification for sustainable buildings.
These initiatives are consistent with our sustainable business policy maintained for over a decade. Additionally, the organisation has received numerous environmental accolades, such as the Eco Factory award, and holds the ISO 45001 certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. We also conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impact of our products. All these efforts are directed toward elevating the standards of the Thai construction materials industry, fostering growth, and creating products that sustainably protect the environment.
