On the morning of May 27, 2026, the ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the commissioning of the rubber processing plant owned by KIMS RUBBER (CAMBODIA) CO., LTD., an affiliate of Mainland Group, was successfully held in Tbong Khmum Province, Cambodia. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin jointly attended the ceremony and delivered speeches, witnessing the official launch and operation of the project, which demonstrates solid achievements of pragmatic economic and trade cooperation between China and Cambodia.

The ceremony was solemn and warm. Prime Minister Hun Manet and Ambassador Wang Wenbin jointly cut the ribbon for the plant. Accompanied by Zhu Chen, Chairman of Mainland Group, they inspected the production workshop and learned in detail about the automated production line, intelligent packaging system, and quality control procedures.

In his speech at the ceremony, Prime Minister Hun Manet stated that the launch of Mainland Group’s rubber processing project fully reflects the recognition and confidence of Chinese investors in Cambodia’s business environment and long-term development prospects. He thanked the Chinese government, enterprises, and all sectors of society for their long-term support for Cambodia’s economic and social development, and acknowledged the positive contributions made by Chinese partners to Cambodia’s economic growth, industrial development and employment through diversified cooperation.

Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin pointed out in his speech that the commissioning of the rubber processing plant serves as a vivid example of the alignment of China-Cambodia development strategies and complementary industrial strengths. The project is consistent with the policy orientation of the Seventh Royal Government of Cambodia to develop deep processing of agricultural products, extend industrial chains, and raise added value. It helps convert local resources into high-value-added products, facilitates the transformation and upgrading of Cambodia’s economic structure, and injects new impetus into the development of the Industrial Development Corridor and the China-Cambodia Diamond Hexagon Cooperation Framework.

As a Chinese enterprise deeply engaged in the full industrial chain of natural rubber, Mainland Group actively practices the vision of jointly advancing the Belt and Road Initiative and adheres to localized and pragmatic development layout. The successful commissioning of the rubber processing plant in Tbong Khmum Province marks an important implemented project for the Group to establish a foothold in the Cambodian market and expand its rubber industry footprint across Southeast Asia.
