Diamond Roofing switches to gas

Diamond Roofing Tiles has reduced its production costs by using natural gas, joining with PTT to set up a natural-gas system at its plant in Sara Buri province last weekend.

Managing director Sakda Maneeratchatchai said the company would reduce energy costs by between 30 and 50 per cent after changing its power plant from diesel to natural gas, results that would show in the company's financial report next year.

Diamond Roofing Tiles announced total sales of Bt1.8 billion and net profit of Bt242.15 million in the first nine months of this year.
