The Cambodian Prime Minister, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet presided over the inauguration ceremony of the cement factory of Conch KT Cement Company, located in Oral District, Kampong Speu Province, on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

The cement factory inaugurated this morning is the second factory of Conch Cement Company. The first factory, located in Ratanak Mondul district, Battambang Province, was inaugurated in 2018.

The new factory is a joint investment by Conch International Holdings Limited and KT Cement Kampong Speu with a total capital of US$250 million and has a production capacity of up to 2.2 million tons per year to serve domestic needs and can be exported.

The factory started its construction in 2023 on an area of ​​approximately 407 hectares. Through this factory, it contributes to providing direct employment to approximately 450 people and indirect employment to approximately 1,000 more.

Cement is an essential requirement for the construction of infrastructure and housing construction, which is currently in high demand in Cambodia at more than 10 million tons. The investing in establishing a cement factory is a good move for the Cambodian economy to meet the consumption that Cambodia often imports from various countries.

A report by the Ministry of Mines and Energy said that by 2025, Cambodia have 6 factories with a total investment of approximately US$1.11 billion and providing jobs to a total of approximately 3,000 people.
