'It’s a huge achievement'

Speaking about this milestone, Sinclair H. Flemming, CEO of P3 Paper Plastic Products Inc., stated,  “We’re incredibly proud. This isn’t just a business anniversary—it’s a living example of what’s possible when Caribbean entrepreneurs pursue global growth with focus and resilience. We entered Thailand with a vision, and six years later, we’re operating in two key markets, serving customers across Asia and the Middle East. It’s a huge achievement for a 100% Virgin Islands-owned company.”

This milestone positions P3 as a trailblazer in the Caribbean business landscape, becoming the first company of its kind from the Virgin Islands to establish a brick-and-mortar wholesale operation in Asia.

Flemming added, “It confirms that P3 is ready for the next level. Six years in Thailand shows that we can compete and scale internationally, while staying true to our values of integrity, consistency, and service. For our brand, this milestone is a platform—it tells the world we’re not just regional players anymore. We’re building a brand that Caribbean people can be proud of, with systems, logistics, and relationships to support global expansion.”

'We’re changing mindsets'- P3 CEO

P3 has made a significant impact in Thailand.

Flemming noted, “We’ve provided reliable supply to over 300 hotels, restaurants, and distributors across Thailand. We’ve hired local staff, opened two distribution centres, and brought biodegradable product alternatives into markets that needed more sustainable options. And beyond that, we’ve proven that a small island company can move product at scale in Asia. We’re changing mindsets—showing that Caribbean firms can do business internationally with confidence.”

With a core focus on food-service disposables, janitorial supplies, and biodegradable packaging, P3 Thailand actively supports the growing needs of resorts, hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets in Southeast Asia.

The CEO also mentioned, “Yes. We’re currently planning strategic expansion into three additional Caribbean countries, as well as continuing our Miami operations, where we’ve already begun pilot activity. In 2026, we’ll be opening up investment opportunities for equity participation in these new operations. We’re looking for strategic investors who believe in Caribbean innovation, global logistics, and real-world profitability—not just concept businesses. This next phase is about scaling smart and inviting partners to grow with us.”

From its state-of-the-art distribution centres in Koh Samui and Phuket, P3 Thailand serves a wide range of clients, including hotels and distributors in Singapore, Kuwait, and Dubai. The company has created jobs, fostered cross-cultural collaboration, and proven that businesses originating in the Caribbean can thrive on a global scale.
