Wanli Tire Co. Ltd., a subsidy of China’s Guangzhou Industrial Investment Holdings Group (GIIHG), recently launched its car tyre plant in southeast Cambodia’s Svay Rieng province.
Situated in the Sin Bavet Special Economic Zone in Bavet town on the border with Vietnam, the plant has commenced its Phase 1 production line after a year of construction.
Cambodia exported car tyres worth US$1 billion during the first 11 months of 2025, an increase of 58% year-on-year, according to a Ministry of Commerce report.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and CDC’s first Vice Chairman Sun Chanthol said, “This serves as a testament reflecting the momentum of development and deep confidence in Cambodia’s investment climate.”
He said the factory will provide numerous benefits to Cambodia, including employment opportunities and the transfer of modern knowledge and technology to Cambodian workers.
“The factory will become a vital market for absorbing domestic natural rubber raw materials, helping to improve the livelihoods of Cambodian rubber farmers,” he said.
