SOLIZE
conducts
its
everyday
business
activities
with
the
corporate
philosophy
of
“True
evolution
you
can
experience”.
We
define
“evolution”
as
“exponential
growth
transcending
existing
boundaries”
and
“not
as
passive
change
responding
to
environmental
change,
but
as
proactive
change
made
by
the
initiative
of
individuals”.
We
believe
Somkiat
Chantra’s
promotion
to
MotoGP
is
proactive
change
made
possible
through
his
initiative,
which
embodies
our
idea
of
“evolution”.
SOLIZE,
on
our
part,
is
planning
to
establish
SOLIZE
(Thailand)
Co.,
Ltd.
in
February
of
this
year
as
the
first
step
in
our
“evolution”.
We
support
IDEMITSU
Honda
LCR
and
Somkiat
Chantra
as
partners
who
are
taking
on
the
world
from
Thailand
in
2025
aiming
for
the
next
stage
in
the
“evolution”.

Yusuke
Inoue,
Senior
Executive
Officer,
SOLIZE
Corporation

As
a
partner
in
taking
on
a
large
challenge,
I’m
thrilled
that
Somkiat
Chantra’s
debut
in
MotoGP
as
a
Thai
racer
coincides
with
the
launch
of
SOLIZE
(Thailand)
Co.,
Ltd.
I’ve
also
participated
in
the
Motocross
World
Championship
as
the
head
of
development,
where
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
have
had
a
front
row
seat
to
seeing
top-level
racers
take
on
the
world.
This
experience
has
given
me
a
deep
appreciation
for
the
extraordinary
effort
Somkiat
had
to
put
into
competing
as
a
rider
in
MotoGP.
SOLIZE
will
be
supporting
IDEMITSU
Honda
LCR
and
Somkiat
throughout
the
season
through
this
sponsorship
agreement.
