A delegation from the Chinese company Shijiazhuang Hongray Group Co., Ltd has confirmed that the company is seeking a location in Cambodia to invest in the establishment of a medical glove manufacturing plant, with 10 production lines.
Currently, Chinese investors rank first in terms of the number of investors in Cambodia.
The plans were revealed by Dai Shuming, deputy general-girector of Shijiazhuang Hongray Group Co., Ltd, during a working meeting with Chea Vuthy, secretary-general of the Cambodia Investment Board (CIB) of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC). Held at the CDC headquarters on the morning of January 15, and was facilitated by the Jiangsu Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Cambodia.
Shuming explained that the company is a leading large-scale company with approximately 30 years of experience in manufacturing medical gloves for export to US and European markets. This marks the second visit of a delegation from the company to Cambodia.
“This is the second time that Shijiazhuang Hongray Group Co., Ltd has come to study and learn about the investment environment in Cambodia. The company intends to look for a location to invest in establishing a medical glove manufacturing plant with 10 production lines,” he said.
Vuthy welcomed the delegation to Cambodia. He also expressed appreciation to the Jiangsu Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Cambodia for its efforts to attract Chinese investors to Cambodia.
Vuthy suggested that the company consider developing its own special economic zone (SEZ) to attract investors within the same industrial cluster and to build its own production supply chain. Alternatively, the company could consider selecting a location within an existing SEZ with established infrastructure or choosing an area with a lower population density to reduce potential environmental impact risks.
He also advised the company to carefully consider sources of raw materials, such as wood chips used to generate electricity to supply the company’s production lines.
The CDC reported that in 2025, a total of 630 investment projects with an estimated total capital of approximately $10 billion were approved. Investment from China ranked first, accounting for about 54.25% of total capital, followed by Cambodia, Singapore, and Vietnam.
Beyond direct investment, Cambodia–China bilateral trade also ranked first in 2025.
According to the General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE), in 2025, Cambodia’s total international trade reached $64.03 billion, an increase of 16.8% over 2024. Of this amount, trade with China totalled $19.73 billion, up 29.9%, with exports to China at $1.69 billion (down 3.6%) and imports at$18.04 billion (up 34.3%).
