Plantec's progress in leading globalization

As part of our global strategy, we launched overseas operations in Vietnam in 2011 and established a local subsidiary in Thailand in 2012. Since then, we have realized numerous innovative architectural design projects mainly in ASEAN countries, as well as in the United States and Mexico. In February 2025, we completed the registration of our local subsidiary in Mexico, and with the establishment of our office in 2026, we aim to expand our business not only in Mexico but also in North and South America and Europe.

Cooperation between both companies based on shared management philosophy

Both companies share the same management philosophy of "analyzing various management issues faced by clients and proposing solutions through architecture." They are also both expanding their businesses globally, and this agreement will enable them to engage in joint ventures in the countries where they operate.

Accelerating expansion in APAC, starting from Singapore

Furthermore, Singapore, where ID Architects is based, is an important geopolitical location as well as a business hub in Asia. Therefore, by forming a strategic partnership with ID Architects, Plantec expects to accelerate its business not only in ASEAN but also in the APAC region.

Toward future-oriented collaboration that leverages technology and networks

Going forward, both companies will leverage their respective technological capabilities and market access to actively explore and pursue opportunities for joint ventures and projects in Asia and other regions or countries mutually identified.
