ARIP

What ARIP does

ARIP Public Company Limited is a Bangkok-headquartered media and exhibitions company founded in 1989 and listed on Thailand's Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) since December 2, 2010. The company operates three integrated business segments targeting Thailand's information technology ecosystem: Media & Content (Business+ magazine and Techhub, providing B2B and B2C technology coverage), Exhibitions (the COMMART trade show series held three times annually, including the COMMART ULTRAFORCE and COMMART GAMEFORCE variants aggregating distributors, retailers, OEMs, and end-consumers), and Digital Services (WISIMO e-learning platform, a Virtual Event Platform, and Data Dive analytics).

The company generates revenue through a mix of advertising sales across print and digital media, exhibition booth fees and sponsorship from over 200 IT brand partners including NVIDIA, AMD, ASUS, MSI, and Intel, and fee-based access to its digital platforms. ARIP's commercial model is anchored on convening the Thai IT supply chain — global OEMs, local distributors, and retailers such as IT CITY, JIB, Speed Computer, and Banana — in physical and digital venues, monetizing both the exhibitor side and the audience side. The company maintains a relatively lean headcount of 51-100 employees supporting recurring event production, content publishing, and platform operations, with registered capital of 116,500,000 baht across 466,000,000 shares outstanding.
