History
The WHA Group was created in 2003 to answer the strong demand for factory and warehousing solutions at a time when more and more investments were coming into the country, boosting the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Many of these companies were looking for cost-efficient solutions for their operations, and WHA accompanied many of them as they grew and expanded, becoming anchors in their respective fields. Today, the number of clients has grown exponentially and the services offered have evolved and diversified, transforming WHA into a world-class developer of fully integrated logistics and industrial facilities.
By 2011, WHA possessed a total leasing space of 400,000 sq. m. and a business that developed rapidly. Thanks to the efforts of the company’s strong management team, it became a SET-listed company in 2012. In March 2015, WHA Corp acquired Hemaraj Land And Development Plc., Thailand’s biggest developer of industrial land by market value, allowing WHA to expand even further.
In February 2016, WHA received the Frost & Sullivan Thailand Excellence Award, in the “Warehouse Development Company” category for its outstanding service, achievements and contribution to Thailand’s transportation and logistics sector.
