Samsung Engineering Co., a construction arm of South Korea’s largest conglomerate Samsung Group, clinched two deals worth a combined 550 billion won ($483 million) to build petrochemical and power generation facilities in Thailand.

Samsung Engineering said on Wednesday that it signed two contracts worth 550 billion won to construct a petrochemical and a power plant for two subsidiaries of PTT, a Thailand state-owned oil and gas company.

Under the contracts, the company will build the plants at the country’s largest industrial complex in Rayong, 150 kilometers southeast of the capital Bangkok.
