Hachette Filipacchi-Post & Groupe Marie Claire bring Marie Claire to Thailand  -  April 19, 2004 Hachette Filipacchi-Post Co., Ltd & Groupe Marie Claire will create a joint venture in Thailand to publish MARIE CLAIRE Magazine Thai Edition, responding to the needs of Thai readers. The first issue of MARIE CLAIRE Thai Edition is expected to be launched in April 2004. Hachette Filipacchi Post Chairman of the Board Mr. Suthikiati Chirathivat said ”The success of publishing ELLE, ELLE Decoration, and CLEO has proved Hachette Filipacchi as Thailand’s foremost publisher of up-market magazines, so it makes sense for Groupe Marie Claire to leverage Hachette’s expertise in Thailand”. Ms Siri Udomritthiruj, General Manager of Hachette Filipacchi Post, will manage the new joint venture. MARIE CLAIRE is the number one up-market women’s monthly in France. With a network of 24 international editions published in 13 languages, MARIE CLAIRE is one of the leading women’s magazines worldwide. The Thai edition of MARIE CLAIRE will bring the total number of international editions up to 25, of which 8 in the Asia-Pacific region. The strength of MARIE CLAIRE lies in the very special balance it creates between fashion, beauty and magazine features. Editorial supervision of the Thai edition of MARIE CLAIRE is entrusted to Ms. Aree Peerapornviput, who has a longstanding career as a writer and editor in the magazine publishing field. Mr. Suthikiati Chirathivat further states that ”To ensure the standard of MARIE CLAIRE Thailand reflects that of MARIE CLAIRE international editions, our local editorial team is receiving regularly visits, training and insight from the MARIE CLAIRE International editorial team.
