Listed contractor NWR filed for business rehabilitation on 29 May 2026; the court rules on its plan on 8 September. It blames rising materials, energy and labour costs, copper price jumps and cash-flow strain, and says banks are tightening lending to construction firms. For a Thai SME in construction or supplying it: check your exposure to NWR as a customer or debtor, tighten payment terms and credit checks on contractors, and expect slower payments and harder bank credit across the sector. NWR says it is still operating and bidding, and its plan includes selling concrete and processed steel.
