What AUT does
A.U.T. Company Limited, operating under the AUTHANE brand, is a Bangkok-headquartered Thai manufacturer of high-performance polyurethane elastomer components founded on June 26, 1983. The company produces a standard catalogue of cast polyurethane parts — wheels and tyres, rollers, couplings, hydraulic seals, tubes and rods, sheets, and suction cups — plus custom moulded parts engineered to customer drawings. Manufacturing is concentrated at a 4,000 sqm facility in Ayuthaya with annual production capacity of 120 tons. The underlying technology is a proprietary polyurethane elastomer system (AUTHANE) characterized by a hardness range from 0 Shore A to 85 Shore D, an operating temperature envelope of -30°C to 120°C, resistance to water, oil, grease, chemicals and radiation, and the ability to bond to wood, metal, aluminium, rubber and plastic substrates. Value-added capabilities include multi-layer hardness parts in a single piece, sheets up to 3,000 x 9,000 mm, die cutting in arbitrary shapes, food-grade formulations, and anti-static grades for electronics manufacturing.
The company's commercial model is direct B2B sale of custom-specification parts to industrial manufacturers in Thailand, with no disclosed distributor or channel network. Pricing is quote-based, tied to specification, material, and order volume, and contracts are structured as multi-year engagements rather than spot transactions. A.U.T. serves seven primary verticals: automotive, concrete, electronics, metal sheet, mining & quarrying, oil & gas, and pulp & paper, with additional cross-industry applications in food, footwear, furniture, textile and ceramic sectors. The company is privately held with registered capital of ฿7,000,000, is led by founder and Managing Director Mr. Vorachak Nachiengtung, and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from TÜV Rheinland. Operations are entirely domestic; no public marketing activity beyond a bilingual website and a single 2019 trade show appearance (Northeast Tech 2019) is documented.

AUT competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- LANXESS: German specialty chemicals company with a Urethane Systems business producing polyurethane prepolymers and elastomer components for industrial use — comparable in material chemistry but operates as a broad upstream/downstream incumbent rather than a small custom moulder.
- Trelleborg: Global Swedish polymer-engineering group with a significant polyurethane and elastomer components business serving industrial, automotive, and sealing markets — overlapping with A.U.T.'s product set but operating at much larger scale and across many geographies.
- BASF: Global chemical major with an extensive polyurethane systems portfolio supplying elastomer, foam, and coatings applications — comparable as a broad upstream/downstream incumbent whose products and pricing shape the market in which A.U.T. operates.
- Wanhua Chemical: Chinese polyurethane raw-materials giant producing MDI, TDI, and polyols that feed directly into the PU elastomer value chain — comparable as an upstream incumbent whose pricing of PU feedstocks affects A.U.T.'s cost base and competitive landscape.
- Covestro: Major global polyurethane systems house (formerly Bayer MaterialScience) producing PU raw materials, elastomers, and formulated systems for industrial applications — comparable in underlying PU chemistry but at vastly larger scale than A.U.T.
- Huntsman Corporation: Global chemical company with a Polyurethanes division producing MDI, polyols, and PU systems used in elastomers, coatings, and adhesives — comparable in chemistry footprint to A.U.T.'s polyurethane elastomer focus but as a broad upstream incumbent.
Direct peers
- PSI Urethanes: American custom moulder of polyurethane parts, sheets, and rollers serving industrial markets — directly comparable in offering custom-cast PU elastomer products to OEM customers.
- API S.p.A. Italian manufacturer of custom-moulded polyurethane elastomer components (wheels, rollers, seals, buffers) for industrial applications — directly comparable to A.U.T. in product category, customer type, and custom-fabrication business model.
- Precision Urethane & Machine: US precision urethane parts and machined PU components manufacturer — closely comparable to A.U.T. in producing custom polyurethane elastomer parts for industrial customers.
- Kastalon: US-based custom moulder of polyurethane parts and components for industrial OEMs — comparable to A.U.T. in producing small-to-medium volumes of application-specific PU elastomer parts via casting and moulding.
