History

Chaiseri got its start as a specialist in rubber and rubber-to-metal bonded parts such as torque rods and rubber bumpers for commercial cargo trucks. They then moved to producing track shoes and road wheels for Royal Thai Army tracked armoured vehicles.

Chaiseri then established a vehicle rebuild plant where they repaired and upgraded both wheeled and tracked vehicles, from small vehicles like the M151 to assault amphibious vehicles such as the AAVP7A1.

Chaiseri's business revolves around three product lines: its armoured defense vehicle, " First Win 4x4" (FW4x4). Chaiseri Run-Flat System permits wheeled vehicles with damaged tires to run 150 kilometres while flat. Chaiseri is a specialist in track systems and has aided in the design of many current track systems. Chaiseri Track System C108 enables track upgrades for tracked vehicles.
