Taiwanese footwear producer Bao Cheng International Group (BCIG) will open a factory in Cambodia this year, according to a statement released by the Cambodia-Taiwan Trade Association.

YH Chiang, chairman of the association, said in mid-March that BCIG is constructing a large footwear factory on 40,000 square-metres of land outside the capital, Phnom Penh.

The company is planning to use the facility to produce footwear for adidas. ??We hope that the company’s investment will help develop Cambodia’s economy,” he said.

According to the association, construction of the factory started in February. It is set to employ around 10,000 Cambodian workers.

BCIG already has footwear factories in three countries: China, Indonesia and Vietnam.
