Double A

What Double A does

Double A (1991) Public Company Limited (ticker: DA1991) is a Thai-headquartered, publicly traded manufacturer and global distributor of premium copy and stationery paper with reported annual revenue of over THB 16 billion and 10,000+ employees. The company operates a fully integrated paper mill in Prachinburi, Thailand, powered by proprietary Paper-Tree cultivation — a purpose-grown fiber species developed over 35+ years from 2,500 specimens yielding 30 million fibers per gram — combined with a 35 million cubic meter rainwater reservoir, biomass cogeneration, and Elementary Chlorine Free (ECF) bleaching. The company holds FSC, PEFC, ISO 9001/14001/45001, and multiple national green-label certifications, and has committed to Net Zero by 2050.

Its commercial footprint spans more than 130 countries through a wholesale distributor network, complemented by direct-to-consumer channels including the delivery.doubleapaper.com e-commerce platform and the Fastprint self-service printing kiosk network with 1,500+ locations across Thailand. The product portfolio extends well beyond core paper into Double A Office Supplies, Double A Stationery, and Double A Care (health and hygiene products introduced during the pandemic), with a French paper mill acquisition supporting European reach. Revenue mechanics combine one-time paper/stationery/care sales to office users, educational institutions, healthcare buyers, and printing service providers, plus a transactional component from Fastprint on-demand printing.
