The company is listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), but is 64% ownedy by the Phaoenchoke family members. Mrs. Pranee Phaoenchoke is the CEO of the company.
In 1999 Thai Rung supplied the Chevrolet plant in Arica, Chile with Grand Adventure body parts to make the Chevrolet Luv Wagon and the Grand Luv, sold with little success.
