History

Chip Mong was established in 1982 and has grown into "one of the largest homegrown conglomerates [in Cambodia]". [6]

From the 1980s, as Cambodia recovered from the massive devastation of the Khmer civil war and the atrocities of the Khmers Rouges regime, Madam Pheap Heak started a small business to buy and sell construction scrap metal, before in 1997 setting up a company called Chip Mong to import fine steel from abroad to supply to Cambodia's construction sector. [7]

From 1990 onwards, Chip Mong began expanding its business by importing cement and consumer goods from neighboring countries. [8] Chip Mong has since become one of the leading local supplier of construction materials [9] and consumer products [10] in the country.

In 2008, the Chip Mong group launched into real estate and in 2009, in the beer and beverages by launching Khmer Breweries. [11]

In December 2010, the Chip Mong Group entered the booming construction sector in Cambodia, relying on ties with both Vietnam on one side, [12] and Thailand on the other, by signing a $200 million joint - venture agreement with Siam City Cement Plc. [13] The cement factory was inaugurated by Prime Minister Hun Sen on February 8, 2018. [14]

Chip Mong recently entered the sector of tourism and hospitality by renovating and expanding a luxury hotel in Daun Penh together with the American multinational hospitality company Hyatt in 2016, finally opening in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, [15] during which the Chip Mung group along other private investors helped the Cambodian government with major donations. [16]

In 2017, Chip Mong invested about $60 million in a plant to produce pig feed, with facilities to raise pigs for the Cambodian market, [3] in an effort to "reduce imports and increase products produced by Cambodia". [17]

In 2018, Chip Mong expanded into the financial sector with its newest venture – Chip Mong Commercial Bank Plc. [5]

Chip Mong's growth goes along with the evolution of Cambodia from the past as a primarily agricultural country to the industrialised nation. [18]

In March 2021, the three major players of the Chip Mong group were all elevated to the rank of Oknha on the same occasion by a royal decree issued by His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni. [19]

Structure

Chip Mong is a family-owned business headed by Oknha Leang Khun and Leang Meng [20] under the leadership of Chairlady Oknha Madam Pheap Heak. [21]

Chip Mong invests into several child businesses, so-called subsidiaries:
