With the increasing demand by the construction industry for high-quality roof tiles, leading Cambodian roof tile brand Khmer Rock (KRock) is expanding its supply chain into the Southeast Asian market.

In an exclusive interview with Construction & Property Magazine, Mr. Bun Nara, Managing Director of KRock Manufacturing Co.,Ltd, said that the company is planning to expand its “KRock” brand into Myanmar and Thailand after securing intellectual property rights from those countries.

“Our roof tile market has grown bigger now, so we are now working on bringing our uniquely designed Khmer roof tile into Myanmar and Thailand,” he said, while adding that the company will also expand into Laos and Vietnam later.

Mr Nara explained that the KRock roof tile is best known for its “Quality and Beauty” which has been designed in a way that represents Cambodia’s long tradition of roof style.

With the working philosophy of ‘Never Stop Improving’, the company is also planning to buy new machines that can produce larger-sized roof tiles from clay, which produce better quality than cement-made roof tiles.

“The arrival of this brand-new machine will change the whole clay-made roof tile production in Cambodia to become bigger and more standardise, as currently most clay roof tiles in the market are from small homemade manufacturers which is not enough for the demand in the market,” he added.

Besides being the leading manufacturer and renowned in the roofing industry, KRock also manufactures other products such as pre-cast concrete panels as well as terrazzo, of which KRock terrazzo can be considered as the showcase product as its design in truly unique in the market.

“Our KRock terrazzo is special for its three-colour aggregated design using high-quality raw material” he said. Currently, the company is the only one to produce such products as most terrazzo on the market is in two colours only,” said Mr Bun Nara.

Regarding the company’s current business status, Mr. Bun Nara also explained that it has so far received positive feedback from customers and proved the huge amount of purchase orders especially from big well-known construction project owners in the kingdom. The products have been used in many significant projects such as Borey Peng Huoth, Orkide Villa, Borey Phnom Penh Thmey, as well as ACELEA Bank.
