Hong Leong Manufacturing Group Plans Major Investment Expansion in Cambodia

Hong Leong Manufacturing Group (HLMG), a prominent multinational conglomerate, has announced plans to expand its investment footprint in Cambodia, targeting key sectors including real estate, automotive parts, and manufacturing. The announcement came following a meeting between Datuk Kwek Leng San, Chairman of HLMG, and Samdech Hun Manet, PM of Cambodia.

During the discussion, Datuk Kwek highlighted HLMG’s extensive global operations across China, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Europe, and ASEAN nations, emphasizing its diverse finance, manufacturing, technology, and real estate portfolio. He also underscored the company’s decade-long presence in Cambodia, particularly in the banking sector.

PM Hun Manet expressed strong support for HLMG’s ambitious investment plans, reaffirming the government’s commitment to creating a favorable business environment and enhancing Cambodia’s integration into regional and global markets through its network of free trade agreements.

The PM specifically encouraged HLMG to explore automotive parts production, pointing to opportunities for both domestic supply and export markets. He assured the company that Cambodia’s extensive investment incentives and infrastructure improvements would facilitate long-term success.

The announcement aligns with Cambodia’s booming construction and industrial landscape. According to the Ministry of Land Management, Cambodia has issued 67,696 construction permits from 2000 to 2024, covering 197 million square meters and representing a total investment value of USD 78.96 billion. This robust growth reflects the country’s expanding economic potential and investor confidence.

As Cambodia positions itself as a competitive hub for foreign direct investment, HLMG’s expansion plans mark a significant milestone in strengthening economic ties and unlocking new opportunities for growth within the nation.
