Speaking at the Cambodia Steel Industry Forum last month, CEO and Chairman of ISI Group Kang Leng emphasised that the steel industry is indeed the bedrock of the industrial growth and economic development in Cambodia. “Steel consumption demand in the market increases remarkably every year,” he said.

Some statistics, according to Mr Kang, show that the total value of steel imported into Cambodia accounted for a value of about USD1billion over the period of the last five years. China and Vietnam are the main raw material suppliers of ISI group.

“Cambodia is still very low compared to our ASEAN peers in term of steel consumption. There are plenty more opportunities for growth, hence more opportunities for further developing the steel industry in the nation,” Mr Kang explained.
