Partnership enables turnkey projects and faster go-lives for ports and rail-linked terminals across Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
Bangkok / Amsterdam — March 5, 2026. Machine Technology Co., Ltd. (MTECH), a Thai engineering company supplying and maintaining port automation equipment, and Solvo Europe, an international software provider, have entered into a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, MTECH will offer Solvo solutions for ports and terminals across Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia—combining local hardware delivery and lifecycle support with a proven multi-cargo TOS.
Thailand’s EEC ramps up port and rail capacity — and expectations for digital readiness
Thailand is expanding port capacity and rail connectivity as part of the EEC. Laem Chabang Port Phase 3 will increase container capacity from ~11 to 18 million TEU per year, add new deep-sea berths and rail yards, and is being fast-tracked by the Transport Ministry. At the same time, the Map Ta Phut Industrial Port Phase 3 expansion—an EEC flagship—is boosting national energy and petrochemical liquid-bulk handling capacity.
Cold-chain trade is also surging. Thai fruit exports to China via the China–Laos Railway have seen triple-digit growth thanks to shorter transit times. “Fruit trains” from Laem Chabang to Kunming became regular in 2023, while Thailand’s own Bangkok–Nong Khai high-speed link is planned to connect by 2030.
What this means for operators: EEC projects are raising the bar for throughput, multimodal coordination, and digitized yard, gate, and rail processes—areas where a joint MTECH and Solvo.TOS stack can compress integration time and de-risk scale-up.
“In choosing a partner, we looked closely at what the national and regional markets actually need—not just today, but in the years ahead. Solvo solutions don’t just meet the current demands of Thai terminals; they offer a future-ready foundation. We’ve seen how their systems perform in high-volume projects across the Middle East and Africa, and we’re confident that together—with the depth of experience Solvo brings from Europe, Asia, and beyond—we can help ports in Southeast Asia reach world-class levels of digital maturity,” said Kittipong Rojanasheewa, Managing Director, Machine Technology Co., Ltd.
The joint stack is designed to meet Southeast Asia’s current logistics demands—100% digitized workflows, Ro-Ro and liquid bulk handling, reefer growth, rail acceleration, and more. Solvo.TOS natively supports all types of cargo, with rule-based workflows that digitize every checkpoint from gate and yard to vessel and rail. Automatic reefer monitoring and service orders reduce exceptions, while built-in rail planning and processing streamline inland hand-offs—all in one platform that MTECH can deliver as part of a turnkey project. This is why the partnership is more than distribution: it’s a practical step toward the EEC’s digitalization goals and a better-connected regional logistics network.
How the partnership simplifies tech delivery and speeds up time to value
Solvo.TOS is used by leading terminals across Europe, Asia, and Africa—such as Antwerp (AET, Belgium), Tallinn (HHLA Estonia), Luanda (Sogester, Angola), and Aktau (Kazakhstan)—demonstrating its scalability across sea, rail, and mixed-cargo operations.
“Solvo is a company with a truly international footprint—with offices in the Netherlands, Italy, Serbia, Brazil, and the UAE. In numerous deployments on multiple continents, we’ve built deep sector expertise and a strong track record of solving complex logistics challenges. Southeast Asia’s logistics ecosystem is entering a new phase of growth, and we’re proud to contribute to this historic shift—together with our trusted partners at MTECH,” said Giovanni Migliaccio, Senior VP Sales & Marketing, Solvo Europe.
Paired with MTECH’s field-proven gate and yard automation, the alliance gives operators a single operational backbone, from gate and yard to berth and rail.
Technically, the stack is built for fast integration. Open APIs and pre-validated device kits reduce the need for custom code across typical port subsystems—shortening time to go-live and simplifying future upgrades. And because MTECH maintains engineering teams and spares in Bangkok and Laem Chabang, customers benefit from on-the-ground delivery and SLA-backed support with regional coverage.
