Thus, we seized the opportunity to introduce a new product for the fighting workers, ‘Taurine Coffee’, which is Thailand’s first energy coffee with taurine and vitamin B complex as the key ingredients.

Taurine Coffee will help the consumers get ready for any circumstance with three distinctive powers: energy, awakening, and refreshment providing nourishment for the brain and revitalizing both physical and mental strength.

Mr. Thanasak Hunarak, Chief Business Development Officer of Workpoint Entertainment PCL (WORK) said the majority of Workpoint’s fan base is the high-performing and strong workers. “Recognizing their determination to command their lives for the better, we take an inspiration from the success of our signature product, ‘Kru Pensri’ candy, to expand the fan base to this targeted group with a new product line, energy boosting coffee, which is a bold and unprecedented item in the market. The communication campaign will be presented on television channels and online media under Workpoint with around 90 million followers.

SAPPE’s Vice Chairman and Chairman of Executive Committee, Mr. Adisak Ruckariyaphong, said “We want to give moral support and physical energy to all Thais, especially those who have to work during the nighttime while most people are sleeping, but they have to overcome physical and brain fatigue to strive for better living. This can adversely impact or undermine working ability. We truly understand and aim to convey this message in forms of short film and TV commercial Man of Determination, Master of Life (Khon Jing Khon Sang Cheewit). For this project, we have the world’s renowned director ‘Thanonchai ‘Tor’ Sornsriwichai’ to narrate the inspiring stories of the people in various fields of work to exhibit courage and resilience. Despite encountering obstacles, inequality, or oppression, they will be ready to fight and command their own lives. I firmly believe this TV commercial will strike a chord with all those who are the masters of their own lives.

It not only provides the full energy needed for daily encounters faced by those life masters, but also offers a rich and delightful aroma from Robusta coffee.

We also present our consumers with 60 motivational quotes on the sachets, serving as moral support for them and we can assure you that Taurine Coffee is the energy coffee for both the body and mind of all consumers” Ms. Piyajit said.
