Also, Trillionaire (Co.) has acquired the 11st Thailand branch, an e-commerce platform, on June 2018. Trillionaire aims to pave the roadmap to success in the Thai market through the expansion of 11st Thailand’s e-commerce services in K-beauty and fashion by cooperating as partners to further develop service platforms, product curation and sourcing, and overall management strategies.
