Narai Intertrade Co., Ltd.
Narai Intertrade Co,. Ltd. Narai Intertrade Co,.Ltd. was established on October 6, 1989 by Mr. Vassilios and his wife, Ms. Wasna Roongsaenthong,with a registered capital of one million baht. With Mr. Vassilios' background knowledge, they commenced a business of electronic apparatus and mechanical gadgets trading. After flourishing well for a period of time, their business encountered problems deriving from a lack of product availability. Mr. Vassilios’ response was to initiate a new business of textile products and relevant accessories.
In 1993, a new factory was established, employing 15 staff members, who operated 15 sewing machines. The manufactured products were then sold in the tiny two square meter store in Narai Phand.
Since then, business has been flourishing, and NaRaYa’s growth has been rapid. Today, we have a workforce of over 3,000 employees and are cooperating with more than 4,000 makers in the countryside to produce our high quality products.
In 1996, Narai Intertrade Co., Ltd. registered the trademark NaRaYa, which today is a very strong brand name. NaRaYa is a word In Hindi language, meaning Phra
Narai or commonly known as Vishnu - the great god of the Hindus. This name was chosen because of its positive meaning, and easy pronunciation in several languages.
In 2006, registered capital was increased to 90 million bath, and Head Office facilities were constructed on Chaengwattana Road in Nonthaburi
In 2008, two more factories were set up in Laluad District and in Lam Plai Mat district, Buri Ram
In 2011, a factory was set up in Phra Lup sub district, Mueang District, Khon Kaen
In 2016, a new distribution center was setup in Pathumthani Province
Today, Naraya exports its products to several countries around the world, serving its customers through 26 domestic and 13 international branches. NaRaYa has
proven that even a small local business, can evolve to become large and successful, in both domestic as well as international markets.
Ms. Wasna
The Face of NaRaYa
After Narai Intertrade Co., Ltd. was established, Ms. Wasna became the important mainstay of the company in terms of creativity. With the sharp eyes for fashion and beauty, Ms. Wasna advises the creative and design team about choosing the colors, patterns and textures of NaRaYa handbags. This can be viewed as the initial reason behind the success of NaRaYa.
Ms. Wasna is always open-minded and willing to accept new ideas. This broad-mindedness has a creative effect on our products, which, after their initial introduction, evolve over time to include slightly different designs, colors, or patterns. -Furthermore, numerous types of materials have been changed to be more suitable and modern. This makes NaRaYa products always look exotic , a result of genuine creativity. Ms. Wasna’s success doese not arise only from her inherent excellent fashion sentiment. Zealously devoted to helping the countryside Thai people, she initiated and carried through projects to generate employment for them. Thus, today, these people can earn a sufficient income for a decent living, and the means to provide proper education to their children. Since its business initiation, NaRaYa has steadily grown, gaining a positive reputation. The numerous significant awards it has received throughout the years, evidently reflect its great success and wide market and social acceptance.
