It all starts with us! Opted for eco-friendly packaging (Sourcing Responsibly), including soy-based inks and box polishing instead of UV coating. Advanced logistics technology optimizes processes to reduce waste (Minimize Waste) and uses green energy like solar power since 2019, equivalent to planting over 40,000 trees annually.

Manufacturing Co., Ltd., with well-known products such as; air-x, flatulence & meteorism relief tablet, and ONE GERD, an acid reflux medication. The company has also diversified into various other businesses, such as ambulance services, medical equipment, and six LASIK centers located in hospitals to address vision correction needs.
Currently reaching its 50th anniversary, R.X. Group remains committed to developing and delivering valuable products to the market for sustainable growth. The company is also dedicated to contributing to society and the environment through various campaigns includes; Blister Pack Save the Planet project that transforms waste into beneficial resources, and initiatives supporting the Autistic Thai Foundation to create opportunities for children with autism. Additionally, R.X. Group provides educational scholarships to empower children with knowledge for a brighter future.
"Care drives growth" — the proof for the company where "the more we care, the more trust we earned."
"The company has grown through visionary management, delivering excellent products and services that enhance the quality of life for all. Our mission focuses on giving back to five groups of stakeholders: customers, employees, partners, society, and shareholders. These five groups are likened to the five branches of a tree — when nurtured with care, the tree flourishes, just like R.X.'s business. Our unwavering dedication to leaving no one behind and treating our team as family is evident across various aspects towards our employees. Through every crisis, the company has never laid off a single employee, showcasing our commitment to supporting and nurturing our team through every challenge.
“As we enter our 50th anniversary in 2025, we take pride in the steady and sustainable growth of our company, employees, and society. The company continues to prioritize eco-friendly development and sustainability in every product we offer. Because we firmly believe that ‘Beyond caring is where we stand by Thai people’s every step of growth’ ” concluded Ms. Hathairath.
