Clients from all over the world, ranging from international giants on the Global Fortune 500 list to mid-sized and smaller companies, have chosen Amata as their preferred partner.

Today, Amata is home to over 1,400 leading and aspiring global companies, creating more than 300,000 jobs, and contributing more than $56 billion to countries’ GDP (estimated 2018 data).

Amata prides itself on leveraging technology, providing integrated industrial real estate solutions, and customer service. Since its inception, the company has strived not only to provide a location for businesses but to create integrated cities with dedicated utilities, infrastructure and facilities and a range of services towards the era of “Smart cities.”

With its numerous achievements in Thailand, Amata is expected to replicate and spread similar models to other countries, especially in Vietnam.
