< p > June 2005, Ningbo Shenzhou knitting group, which has been processing and producing world-famous brands such as Nike and Adidas, announced that it will spend $33 million 800 thousand to set up production plants in Kampuchea Phnom Penh, mainly for tailoring and sewing processes.

< p > Kampuchea factory provides more advantageous cost control for the "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "Shenzhou garment" /a ", which has over 100 million US dollars in sales last year.

In 2005, the Shenzhou clothing boss took Kampuchea as the first production base overseas, which is close to China and has strong political mutual trust, and officially launched the "going out" step. P

The production and operation place is located in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia.

< p > in July 20th of that year, the agreement on trade in goods under the framework agreement of China ASEAN comprehensive economic cooperation was formally implemented. Low tariffs and zero tariffs were applied to the 7000 commodities.

This indicates that the construction of China ASEAN Free Trade Area has entered a comprehensive and substantive stage of operation.

At this point, the Ministry of Commerce and other ministries encourage enterprises to "go out" to cope with the limited international environment in the US and Europe.

At that time, ASEAN countries became the first choice for many enterprises to invest.

P, general manager of Shenzhou (Kampuchea) Co., Ltd., said that reducing trade barriers is the important reason for Shenzhou clothing selection to "go to sea".

"At that time, Europe and the United States had quota restrictions on imports of textiles from the mainland of China" a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a >, and the establishment of Cambodia Co reduced the impact of quota factors on group orders.

"Secondly, some countries or regions are unable to directly trade with mainland China due to political factors, and Cambodia Co can solve this problem well."

< /p >

< p > because a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > Kampuchea < /a > is a relatively backward country, developed countries are relatively relaxed in policy, and have preferential treatment on import tariffs.

Therefore, once the products in the mainland of China are subject to anti-dumping sanctions by the western countries, the fulfillment of orders can be ensured through Cambodia Co.

< /p >

< p > because of backward economy, Kampuchea's labor cost is relatively low.

"The basic wage of the workers here is 61 dollars / month, plus overtime pay, bonus, guarantee fund, etc., which amounts to 150~160 dollars / month.

The average wage of Chinese employees is 3000 yuan / month.

< p > although labor costs are lower, Mr Adren said that the efficiency of local workers is only 60% compared with that of Chinese workers.

< /p >

< p > Shenzhou clothing, therefore attaches great importance to staff training.

According to Yan Delin, training includes two parts: rules and regulations training and skill training.

< /p >

< p > many local employees come from the countryside and do not know much about their laws and factory rules and regulations. Therefore, factories specializes in training for wages, overtime policies, employees' rights and obligations.

For more important skills training, factories use local staff to teach locals, and locals train local workers to train zero based workers.

< p > at present, the main recruits in the factory are local college students.

Most of the management of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/ > > factory < /a > are also locals, and a few are overseas Chinese.

This is a good impetus for enterprises to integrate into local society.

< /p >

< p > a lot of foreign enterprises developing in Kampuchea will face a risk: strike.

But for the 8 years of Shenzhou clothing that has entered the Kampuchea market, there have not been any strikes yet.

"Our workers work 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, 2 hours a day, 1 hours overtime, according to 1.5 times the wages, which is fully in line with the legal requirements of customers and Kampuchea."

< p > in addition, the company also improves employee welfare by setting up Cambodian staff Relief Committee and providing free working lunch.

< /p >

< p > last year, the head office invested 40 million US dollars in Phnom Penh to register the establishment of a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile > /a > (Kampuchea) Limited. At present, there are more than 2000 employees, and two production plants have already started production.
