Preah Sihanouk Governor Mang Sineth, who also chaired the provincial investment subcommittee, led a meeting at the provincial council building on the morning of May 19, 2026, to review and approve two factory establishment proposals in Stung Hav district.
He instructed the working group and factory owners to follow the legal requirements governing industrial park establishment and other Cambodian regulations. He called for tree and grass planting, electricity and internet connections, and appropriate wastewater treatment systems to avoid harm to waterways, the sea and local communities.
The first proposal, by BEST CHOICE TOOLS CO., LTD., concerned Buildings 2 and 3 in Village 1, Otres commune. It covered iron construction tools including shovels, spades, hoes, rake blades and pliers. The project had registered capital of US$4 million, reported investment exceeding US$2.7 million and a factory area of 10,000 square metres. Its markets were the United States and Cambodia, with an initial workforce requirement of 134 people.
The second proposal, by SOARING COMFORT TOOLS CO., LTD., concerned Building 1 in the same village and commune. It covered plastic products such as shovel, hoe and rake handles, with registered capital of US$2 million, reported investment exceeding US$3.3 million and a factory area of 3,000 square metres. Its products were also intended for US and domestic markets.
The report said both companies had applied for qualified investment project (QIP) registration and received an exemption from public service fees for project registration under the provincial investment promotion incentives implemented through the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Mang Sineth said the projects were consistent with the province’s development plan and could help improve local livelihoods by creating additional employment opportunities.
