What TCM Corporation does

TCM Corporation Public Company Limited is a Thailand-based, publicly listed manufacturer and distributor (SET ticker: TCMC, listed since 1978) operating three business units: TCM Surface (carpets and flooring under the Royal Thai, Carpets Inter, RT Acoustic, and RT Studio brands), TCM Living (distribution of UK furniture brands), and TCM Automotive (carpets and upholstery fabrics supplied to leading global automotive OEMs). The company manufactures at scale in Thailand, with sales offices in the USA, UK, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and India, and a Japan distribution partnership with Toli. Its core proprietary technology is the EcoSoft platform, which has converted over 1 billion recycled PET bottles into carpet backing and underlay products over more than 20 years of R&D, complemented by a zero-liquid-discharge dyeing system that recycles 100% of process water and reduces water usage by 70%.

The company monetises primarily through B2B hardware sales across three verticals: automotive textiles (OEM supply), commercial and residential flooring (hospitality, luxury residential, architecture/design), and furniture distribution. Distribution is omnichannel, combining direct sales, owned international sales offices, regional distributors (Toli in Japan), and service partnerships (COIT for post-sales carpet care in Thailand). Product breadth is being extended from core carpets into higher-margin acoustic panels (RT Acoustic, with the DUET product winning the Red Dot Product Design Award 2025) and circular-economy offerings (Re3 end-of-life take-back, Orb Rug upcycled product line). The company has been recognised externally through SET ESG Ratings AA (2025), a 2026 Best of Safety Performance Supplier Award from Hayashi Telempu, and a Sustainability Expo 2024 award, and is targeting Net Zero by 2050. Expansion in 2017 included acquisition of the commercial carpet business from Tai Ping Carpets International, which established the global sales and manufacturing footprint TCM operates today.
