OCE, a lifestyle brand inspired by Nordic culture, has launched its first retail location in Thailand, marking another stride in its ongoing global expansion efforts. The brand, originally based in Guangzhou, set up shop in Bangkok’s Central Chaengwattana shopping centre, introducing the Thai market to its “Nordic laid-back aesthetics”. Customers are offered a diverse selection of over 2000 unique products to choose from within the store.
Kenneth Tng, the International Leasing Head at Central Pattana, the parent company of the shopping centre, expressed optimism about OCE’s new venture. He stated that the store’s launch underscored the growing vitality and appeal of Thailand’s retail sector.
“It’s a privilege for Central Pattana to be chosen as a collaborator for such a pivotal moment in OCE’s worldwide growth,” Tng added. He further stated that the new concept was unveiled at Central Changwattana on June 19.
Tng reassured that Central Pattana will persist in its commitment to deliver innovative, fresh, and globally pertinent retail experiences to its clientele. The company also plans to continue supporting international brands, like OCE, making their entry and expansion in the Thai market.
OCE has a strong presence in Mainland China, operating over 50 stores, primarily in the major cities. Last year, the brand extended its reach to Europe with a flagship store opening in Copenhagen, Denmark, and also made its debut in Malaysia with a store launch in Kuala Lumpur.
