"There was strong demand for distribution centres for consumer goods and electronics from the rise of e-commerce," chief executive Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, told reporters.

The company is on track to end the year with record revenue, up 30% from last year, she said. In 2020 WHA Corp booked 9.4 billion baht ($285.63 million) in revenue.

Logistics is forecast to make up 46% of its revenue this year, up from about a quarter in 2020. In comparison, the industrial estate segment is expected to account for 27% of its revenue, down from 47% in 2020.

Balancing the business portfolio had minimised the impact of the coronavirus, she said.

The company was delaying some investments to 2022 and expects full-year capital expenditure of 6.1 billion baht, from a target of 9 billion baht.

In addition to industrial estates and logistics, WHA Corp is launching office space as an additional segment with six locations mostly in Bangkok, Jareeporn said.

"Working from home is only suitable for certain situations, but it could lead to decline in efficiency," she added.
