Long Shining history begins on the half of 90’s, when some of the actual owners started business activities between Europe and Asia, in particular in China. These activities allowed to know the culture and the real part of such a complex and rich in opportunities country. During this period have been consolidated important partnerships with Chinese companies and financial operators. All these contacts and knowledge, support by SA8000 certification and ISO9001 international accreditation, belong to the know how made available from LONG SHINING.
Cambodia’s garment industry is the country’s biggest industrial employer. Cambodia benefits from duty-free and quota-free access to the EU and the United States as well as to many other major world markets. Cambodia rebounded strongly from the global economic downturn, with garment and textile exports in 2010 increasing 25 percent year-on-year to total US$3.02 billion; and in 2011, increasing 34 percent to total US$4.05 billion.
With the change in the political scenario, Myanmar is trying to establish itself as a leading manufacturing hub. The ongoing quest for low cost production has drawn manufacturers’ attention to the clothing industry in Myanmar. The country has a long history of making yarn, fabric and garment. Experts believe that the Myanmar will be the new textile and clothing supplier country to watch.
