Factorytalk Co., Ltd. – Empowering Life-Sciences with IT Solutions
Factorytalk Co., Ltd., based in Bangkok, Thailand, has been a trusted name in IT solutions and compliance consulting since 2004. The company provides services to the pharmaceutical, biotech, and life-sciences sectors, helping them maintain high-quality standards and comply with international regulations.
Factorytalk initially grew through a partnership with Werum, a leading German MES provider. This collaboration allowed Factorytalk to offer top-notch GMP compliance and computer validation services, helping pharmaceutical companies pass strict EU inspections. Over the years, the company has expanded its IT solutions, forming partnerships with global software providers like LORENZ and MasterControl, offering a full suite of services in Southeast Asia.
In 2016, Factorytalk sold its MES team to Werum, which led to the creation of Werum’s Asia Headquarters. Despite this significant change, Factorytalk stayed focused on its core areas of expertise: GMP compliance and IT solutions. That same year, the company launched its sister company, BatchLine, developing its own electronic batch record (EBR) system, a solution designed to streamline and automate manufacturing processes.
In 2018, Factorytalk strengthened its offerings by partnering with Tulip, a platform that helps manufacturers improve productivity and efficiency. This collaboration further solidified Factorytalk’s position as a leader in IT solutions for the life-sciences industry.
Factorytalk’s mission is simple but impactful: to provide the highest quality products and technology at fair prices, while maintaining exceptional service standards. By reinvesting profits back into the company, Factorytalk continues to grow, constantly seeking new products and partnerships to better serve the life-sciences sector in Asia and beyond.
Under Teerapong’s leadership, Factorytalk remains committed to delivering solutions that help companies operate more efficiently and stay competitive in an ever-evolving industry.
