Fullerton Fund Management has announced that its Carbon Action Fund has completed an investment in Pyro Energie, Thailand’s leading recycler of end-of-life tyres. This marks the fund’s first investment in Southeast Asia, aligning with its strategy to partner with established businesses that combine robust financials with scalable decarbonisation outcomes across the region and India.
The Fullerton Carbon Action Fund targets mid-market leaders in transition-critical sectors such as industrials, manufacturing, circular economy, energy, and mobility. It prioritises companies with proven operational histories and clear value-creation pathways, steering clear of early-stage technologies and capital-intensive infrastructure projects.
Founded in 2016, Pyro Energie operates commercial-scale pyrolysis facilities that convert waste tyres into pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black, and wire scrap. The company has established itself as a market leader in Thailand, with an annual capacity of over 40 million litres of pyrolysis oil and over 30 million tonnes of recovered carbon black. The investment will support Pyro Energie’s expansion into higher-value, premium-grade products through the construction of a new production facility.
Anisa Keeratiworanan, Director of Alternatives at Fullerton Fund Management, stated: “We look forward to working with Pyro Energie following the investment. The company is a market-leading business with strong operating fundamentals, defensible positioning, and a clear role in enabling industrial decarbonisation.”
Peerapon Ourapeepon, CEO of Pyro Energie, expressed confidence in the partnership, noting the alignment with sustainability priorities and values. This collaboration aims to responsibly scale the business and focus on long-term value.
