AMON to Build High-Quality Electrical Wire Factory in Cambodia

PHNOM PENH, Sept. 18, 2026: Amon World Communications plans to establish a high-quality electrical wire factory in Cambodia using Japanese technology, a project expected to strengthen infrastructure safety, diversify industry and support domestic supply chains.

The plan was discussed during a working meeting with H.E. Hem Vanndy, Minister of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, according to the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation.

Company representatives said the factory will produce high-quality electrical wires using Japanese quality and safety management systems, while transferring knowledge in quality control, electrical safety and the training of Cambodian technicians. The company also proposed cooperation with the ministry on standards, product testing and research and development.

H.E. Hem Vanndy welcomed the investment project and said: "Cambodia does not only want to produce substitutes for some imported goods. We want to become a country that can produce, export and gain international recognition."

The Minister said the ministry can support the project, including the process of establishing the factory, standards development, product testing, technology transfer and connecting the company with potential buyers such as vehicle assembly plants and electrical and electronics manufacturers.

He added that domestically produced wires that meet international standards could supply Cambodia's growing automotive and industrial sectors and have export potential to regional markets.

Accompanying the delegation, partner company JCI Lab also proposed bringing companies from China and Japan to participate in an industrial exhibition in Cambodia. JCI Lab proposed bringing autonomous vehicle technology from Zelos to Cambodia for use in controlled locations such as factories, ports or special economic zones.

AMON opened an office in Cambodia in August and plans to establish its factory in the Kingdom in 2027. Its major shareholder is Japanese company Nichigoh Communication Electric Wire Co., Ltd., which produces electrical wires and cables for international markets.
