According to the Department of Industry, each lightning strike can cause a damage of up to THB 250 million. In addition to direct damage to the plant, building, electrical system, or machinery, lightning can also cause major fire.

(CFT) to deliver an advanced lightning protection solution under the supervision of a team of professionals at every step of the process to raise the bar for plant safety, prevent potential damage, provide assurance to operators, and ensure the safety of communities.”
Mr. Pratheep Kingthong, Managing Director of Critical Facility (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The effects of global warming have led to irregular weather patterns, resulting in increased thunderstorms and thereby increased risks of lightning-related catastrophes in this lightning-prone region of the world. In addition, the rapid advancement of modern technology has created a huge gap between its adoption and the lightning protection technology required to protect such advancement. CFT was formed with the objectives of mitigating growing risks resulting from irregular weather patterns and of bridging the critical gap between technological advancement and lightning protection solutions. It offers unique and state-of-the-art lightning protection capabilities comprising innovative proven products and a strong technical foundation in lightning physics.
