EMPIRE Reaffirms Strategic Business Balance in 2H 2026, Advancing Tech‑Driven Solutions and Strengthening Recurring‑Revenue Capabilities

EMPIRE is advancing its 2H 2026 strategic plan, continuing its transformation from a Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (M&E) specialist into a technology‑ and enterprise‑solutions business. The Company aims to increase the share of recurring revenue, strengthen financial stability, and enhance its competitiveness in the digital economy. The strategy also includes developing Technology Intelligence and expanding strategic partnerships to support long‑term, sustainable growth.

Ms. Watcharaporn Suwinchai, Chief Executive Officer of Origin Global Empire Public Company Limited (EMPIRE), stated that the company will continue executing the recovery and restructuring plan jointly developed by management, the Board of Directors, and external advisors. The plan has received strong shareholder support through the approval of key resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting, reflecting confidence in EMPIRE’s long‑term direction and growth strategy. She added that EMPIRE has thoroughly reviewed and addressed legacy accounting items to ensure that its financial statements accurately reflect the Company’s true business position. This process strengthens EMPIRE’s readiness to operate under its new business structure with greater efficiency and transparency.

Amid a global economic slowdown, the IMF’s World Economic Outlook projects that worldwide GDP growth will average only 2.4–2.9% between 2024 and 2026, pressured by elevated financial costs and heightened geopolitical uncertainty. In contrast, the technology sector continues to expand at a significantly faster pace. Gartner estimates that global IT spending will reach USD 6.15 trillion in 2026, an increase of 10.8% from the previous year. In Thailand, IT spending is expected to approach THB 1.1 trillion, growing 8.36% year‑on‑year. Meanwhile, the International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts that the global AI market will grow at an average rate of 28–30% per year, reaching USD 1.8 trillion by 2030 — underscoring substantial opportunities for businesses capable of adapting to the rapidly expanding digital economy.

Given these global trends, the company is accelerating its transition from its legacy Mechanical & Electrical Engineering (M&E) business toward a full‑scale Technology & Solution‑Based Business model. The shift aims to strengthen EMPIRE’s competitive capabilities and expand new business opportunities by increasing the proportion of recurring revenue alongside project‑based income. This balanced approach enhances revenue stability while supporting future growth potential. At the same time, EMPIRE is opening the door to strategic partnerships to co‑develop solutions that meet evolving customer needs and establish a stronger foundation for competing in a rapidly changing digital economy — helping reduce volatility across economic cycles.

“The transition we are undertaking lays a new foundation for EMPIRE to become stronger than before. We are building a business with greater stability, a higher proportion of recurring revenue, and the ability to generate long‑term economic value — all under strict compliance with capital‑market regulations, with our controlling shareholder structure remaining unchanged. This restructuring is not merely an expansion into technology; it is a repositioning of the company toward leadership in Technology Intelligence, or technology‑driven decision‑analytics, which is becoming a core capability for modern enterprises. Our focus is on embedding data, technology, and AI directly into customers’ real workflows to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and deliver measurable business outcomes,” Ms. Watcharaporn said.

The acquisition of a stake in Multita Co., Ltd. (MTT) marks a significant step in strengthening EMPIRE’s technology‑driven business ecosystem — enhancing capabilities across talent, technical expertise, and digital infrastructure. The investment accelerates the development of AI, data, and digital‑infrastructure solutions within the group. MTT’s highly skilled development team enables EMPIRE to better serve clients in the real estate sector as well as enterprise customers, while its blended revenue model — combining recurring income with project‑based revenue — supports financial stability and future growth potential. The partnership also reinforces EMPIRE’s ability to expand end‑to‑end platforms and solution services that meet the needs of modern digital‑era organizations, creating a more resilient business foundation and reducing exposure to economic‑cycle volatility.

Furthermore, EMPIRE’s investment in MTT strengthens the company’s core capabilities by integrating its long‑standing expertise in infrastructure, engineering, building systems, and digital technology. This synergy enables EMPIRE to develop comprehensive Physical‑to‑Digital Integration solutions — a critical capability for modern enterprises that require seamless interoperability across data, operations, and management systems.

“EMPIRE will continue to execute its transformation plan intensively throughout the second half of the year, as committed to our shareholders. Our focus is on improving cost efficiency, building a technology ecosystem with strategic partners, and expanding solution‑based services that directly address customer pain points. We firmly believe that EMPIRE does not belong to any single executive — it belongs to our shareholders, investors, and all stakeholders who collectively drive the Company forward through technology, knowledge, and innovation. This is how we will transition into a stronger business structure, operating under strict capital‑market regulations with full commitment to governance, transparency, and stakeholder value,” Ms. Watcharaporn added.
