SIAM PIWAT READY FOR PAVILION DEBUT
Thai company to bring Ecotopia, Iconcraft, Absolute Siam brands to Bukit Jalil mall
RETAIL developer Siam Piwat Co Ltd is embarking on its first international venture and has chosen Pavilion Bukit Jalil, here, for its first expansion outside Thailand.
The company said it would be bringing in three owned and curated “Made in Thailand” concept brands, namely Ecotopia, Iconcraft and Absolute Siam.
“Thailand is well known for its metropolitan and world-class malls. It was also named one of Malaysians’ most loved travel destinations in 2019 with more than three million visitors,” said Datuk Joyce Yap, chief executive officer of retail for Kuala Lumpur Pavilion Sdn Bhd, the retail planner of Pavilion Bukit Jalil.
“Thailand’s unique, diverse culture and history comes through in the amazing creativity and care for their original crafts and handiwork.
“Shoppers will be able to explore these unique brands and experience first-hand these innovative and creative offerings. More importantly, they will be able to savour the cross-cultural retail experience with these two leading retail giants,” Yap added.
She is confident that the arrival of Siam Piwat would encourage retail shopping and, thus, boost the economic recovery.
Siam Piwat chief executive officer of retail business group Usara Yongipiyakul said one of the company’s goals was to take Thailand onto the world stage by strengthening the reputation of Thai brands and products among global consumers.
“We are confident in Pavilion’s ability to best represent our brands while supporting the entrepreneurs who will be filling the shelves of Ecotopia, Iconcraft and Absolute Siam,” she added.
Pavilion Bukit Jalil is set to welcome shoppers from Dec 3.
Spanning five retail floors with a total of 1.8 million sq ft of retail space, it will be the largest fully integrated lifestyle regional mall in the southern corridor of Kuala Lumpur.
