The organization breaks down barriers and builds pathways through infrastructure projects, empowers people with knowledge and entertainment through its media channels[3], and provides accessible banking services[4] that make Myanmar more connected and inclusive.
Shwe Than Lwin is one of the few companies allowed to import coconut cooking oil and cement and agricultural projects in Irrawaddy division and is the sole distributor of tires from Thaton Tire Industry, which is under the Ministry of Industry (2). Following Cyclone Nargis, Shwe Thanlwin was one of the companies awarded contracts by the State Peace and Development Council for reconstruction work in the Ayeyarwady delta region, including low-cost homes for refugees.[5][6] Shwe Thanlwin owns Sky Net, a satellite television channel, through Shwe Thanlwin Media, which was launched on 6 October 2010.[7][8] Shwe Thanlwin also maintains the Bago-Nyaunglebin portion of the National Highway 1 (Burma).[9]
