| Product catagories | High standard product. Stable, strong and durable. |
Made from clay, cut to shape, and then put it in the brickkiln. Unstable quality. |
||||
| Production processes | Produced with German technology. Autoclaved in high standard steaming machines with high pressure until it's strong and light. |
Made by local laborers where there is clay. |
||||
| Production standards | Completely comply with มอก.1505-2541. International stardard accepted. | Most products in the market are not standardized. No standard and breakable. |
||||
| Transportation | Stack on wooden pallet. Machine and folklift are used to delivery. Delivery by pallet. |
Delivery by hand, block by block. So, it's too difficult especially for tall buildings. Require more space to store. |
