CCA Hosts 2nd Member Networking Party

In a common aim to strengthen business relationships among its members, the Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA) hosted its 2nd member networking party on 25 February.

The dinner party which was co-organized by the association and one of its active members, SIKA (Cambodia) Ltd, was attended by almost 200 key Cambodian and foreign executives other potential members from Cambodia’s construction and property sectors.

According to Neak Oknha Pung Keav Se, who was re-elected as CCA chairman for the 2nd mandate late last year, the association aims to host such member gathering event at least twice per year to boost intra-business networking among its member firms.

“We know our members are very busy with their businesses that makes our relationship far apart and that is why CCA proposed this member reunion event to strengthen our relationships,” he said.

CCA was established on 9 October, 2011 and now has 91 member companies from the construction and property industries. While most of the members are locally-based firms, some international firms with headquarters in China, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Malaysia, Germany, France, and Vietnam with divisions in Cambodia are also members of this privately-run association.

Besides becoming a member of ASEAN Constructors Federation (ACF) shortly after it was established, the association last year applied to be the member of International Federation of Asian and Western Pacific Contractors’ Associations (IFAWPCA). Last year, it was also become the member and was elected as the first ASEAN co-chair of the China-ASEAN Building Materials Industry Cooperation Committee (CAFTA) which was launched in June 2014.

The chairman also extended his vision of partnering with international construction-related associations with the aim to attract more foreign investment in construction to the country, and introduce the latest hi-tech construction materials, technology and machinery that can save costs and time for projects in Cambodia. “With high-tech machinery and materials from other countries, we can employ a lesser workforce and in contrast, it can enable us to provide them better wages that can help curb their migration for work abroad,” he said.

“Our wide international networks have enabled our respective members to benefit from a wide range of international business networking through those international associations,” he added.

Speaking on behalf of CCA member companies, Antoine Danielli said SIKA, which specializes in concrete admixtures and additives manufacture headquartered in Switzerland with over 100 years of experience, is proud to be part of CCA to help expand the association’s membership and to also contribute to the nation’s construction industry. SIKA opened its Cambodia subsidiary 14 years ago and joined CCA in 2012.

“Thanks to the booming construction in Cambodia, SIKA is proud to announce that we will set up a factory in Cambodia this year that will primarily produce concrete admixture and additives to serve the whole Cambodian market,” he said, “It is our great pride to have our products having the stamp ‘made in Cambodia’,” he said.
