For those who recall the vibrant booth adorned with colorful acoustic panels and shimmering silk threads surrounding the Royal Thai Pavilion at Architect’24, TCM Corporation invites you to Architect’25 for an even more immersive experience. TCM Corporation, the parent company of Royal Thai and Carpet Inter, well-known names in the carpet industry, is set to showcase its expanding portfolio. This year, it continues to build upon the success of RT Acoustic and RT Studio, two emerging brands introduced at last year’s expo. Through an insightful conversation with Khun Orakorn Nunnaraya, Marketing Director, Royal Thai Group, we explore TCM’s vision and innovation.
Building on Success with Architectural Acoustics
“At Architect’24, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Our booth focused on our newest brand, RT Acoustic, showcasing how acoustic panels can merge bold design with professional sound absorption. We even created a dedicated acoustic performance room where visitors could experience the soundproofing capabilities firsthand. The response from designers and architects was fantastic.”
Encouraged by this success, TCM continues its Total Solution Provider approach—tailoring products to precisely meet client needs rather than simply offering a catalog of solutions.
“We don’t just showcase acoustic products; we provide comprehensive solutions. We advise clients on where panels should be installed based on sound reflection points, conducting before-and-after acoustic absorption tests. Our designers assist in selecting panel types, layering, and installation—whether for walls or ceilings—ensuring both optimal performance and budget efficiency. This approach has been well-received in the industry.”
Commitment to ESG and Sustainable Innovation
A pioneer in Green Design & Construction, TCM has championed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles for over 20 years. Sustainability is deeply embedded in its manufacturing processes, including water recycling; dyeing facilities have reduced water consumption through wastewater treatment and reuse, waste reduction; leftover wool fibers from carpet production are repurposed into cement and fertilizers and custom-made design; made-to-order production eliminates excess inventory and unnecessary waste.
“When it comes to sustainability, we can confidently say we are leaders in sustainability. We act, and we lead. Our commitment to environmental responsibility began long before it became a global movement. It started with reduction—reducing water usage, minimizing waste, conserving resources, and cutting back on excessive silk dyeing. But sustainability isn’t just about reducing; it’s also about adding value. We’ve integrated reuse and circularity into our processes, such as recycling dyeing water to purify and reintroduce it into production or using it for irrigation to enhance greenery and air quality around our factory. We have also innovated by recycling silk fibers, creating unique recycled silk with distinctive colors. Every year, we expand our clean energy initiatives, installing more solar panels and ensuring that no waste is discharged into the community. Most importantly, beyond waste reduction and reuse, we seek ways to repurpose any remaining byproducts. Whether transforming waste into fertilizer or sending it to cement plants for further use, we have been implementing these practices for over 20 years—long before Net Zero became a global goal. So, when the world set its sights on Net Zero, we were already ahead of the curve. We were ready, and we continue to intensify our efforts, expanding our initiatives into a comprehensive, fully integrated sustainability strategy.”, said Khun Orakorn.
In addition to these initiatives, TCM’s Take Back Program allows customers to return old carpets, which are then disassembled, biodegraded, or repurposed—wool fibers into compost, and PP fibers into cement components.
