B.G.S. International Supports research and development for “Hand-pull prevention Device for Elderly) project
B.G.S. International is committed to sustainable growth that benefits society.
We are proud to support Kasetsart University's Faculty of Architecture in their research to develop a "Hand-pull Prevention Device for the Elderly." This device, also known as dementia hand restraint gloves, is designed to enhance patient safety and improve the quality of life for both patients and caregivers. It works by preventing self-harm from scratching or picking, stopping patients from pulling out medical tubes or bandages, and protecting against injury or infection.
Meanwhile, the device comprises two components designed to both reduce pulling force and redirect attention. The glove is made from 100% stretch cotton knit, offering elasticity, breathability, and comfort, with better load support than woven fabrics. B.G.S. plays a vital role by supplying EKO Rubber for the attention-redirect component: a palm pad made from EKO Rubber LX (roughness level 3, 15 × 15 cm) and bean-shaped natural-rubber foam elements at the fingertips and palm to provide a soft, ergonomic grip and lessen the urge to pull.
• Supply EKO Rubber LX grade for parts requiring specific tactile feel and durability.
• Provide materials and forming guidance; participate in prototype testing to improve usability.
• Transfer polymer and industrial manufacturing know-how for eventual commercialization.
Social and Sustainability Value
• Improves patient safety by reducing complications and infection risk.
• Supports nursing workload by easing stress and improving care efficiency.
• Utilizes natural rubber and EKO Rubber in line with circular-economy principles and the SDGs.
The A.F. Group is committed to supporting flood relief efforts.
On August 27, 2024, executives and employees from the A.F. Group and its affiliated companies came together to donate 50,000 Baht to the Thai Red Cross Society to aid those affected by the recent floods.
The A.F. Group annual company trip
From June 21-22, 2025, BGS embarked on its annual company trip, a highlight designed to boost employee motivation, strengthen teamwork, and enhance our company culture. This year's trip was a unique blend of cultural immersion and educational tourism, preserving Thai heritage while encouraging ecotourism.
Our team visited two remarkable landmarks: the majestic Phra Pathommachedi in Nakhon Pathom, the second-tallest stupa in the world, and the NaSatta Cultural Heritage Park in Ratchaburi, where we explored and appreciated Thai cultural pride and local traditions.
