Parts Manufacturing and the Export Industry of Thailand has been one of the most important gears in economic development because Thailand is considered as a world class production and product export base. In the past, before various industries developed and combined into an important supply chain It took a long time with many learning steps before being able to commercialize. Due to the lack of medium in bringing together manufacturers and its members to raise product and service quality in order to reach international standard. Thus, the establishment of "Thai Subcontracting Promotion Club" in 1999 was initiated.  Members of automative and appliance manufacturers have participated in business matchings (VMC)  organised by Industrial Linkage Development Devision (BUILD) under Thailand Board of Investment (BOI),meeting with leading factories across the country such as Automobile , Machinery and Electronic Part Factories, etc. Activities arising from the "Thai Subcontracting Promotion Club" have significantly benefited members and later stimulating the growth of supporting industries With the increasing number of members, together with the strenght of various alliances, came the establishment of "Thai Subcontracting Promotion Association" in 2003
