Historical development; Message from the president |
As a Cambodian who is attempting to rehabilitate
and develop the national economy to improve our
people's standard of living, and the national
reputation as a whole, I am very delighted to
establish and run a business in the Cambodian
Market.
I practice, the establishment of a business,
organization or factory is not easy but we can
manage it if we have sufficient resources. The
most difficult factor, however, is implementing
the appropriate strategies to boost performance
and growth.
Before 1990, I was a producer of tires and rubber
processing for other products made in Cambodia.
When Cambodia entered a new chapter of history,
in 1990, and the economic landscape of Cambodia
was irreversibly changed by the adoption of a
free market system, I took the opportunity and
establish the Sok Kong Import Export Co., Ltd.:
SOKIMEX.
Sokimex was established under commercial law
of the Kingdom of Cambodia function as a business
dealing with imports, exports and the exchange
of goods as urged by market demand. We have made
a lot of progresses since then and out perform
our competitors, but there is always the addition
of new players to test our resolve.
Although it has been tough, Sokimex is a local
company that has south by all means to conquer
every obstacle by using its own resources and
potential. Visibly, Sokimex has continuously strengthened
its capacities, and as a result, it has become
the biggest oil company in Cambodia. Furthermore,
in order to sustain long-term growth and success
in the free market economy, Sokimex has diversified
its activities into many businesses in the fields
of industry, agriculture, tourism and other services.
This has especially been important since the royal
Government adopted the free market system.
In addition Sokimex has increased the supply
of oil to satisfy the needs of government institutions
and private organizations across the country.
To upgrade its capabilities and supply services
in the field of power generation to meet the consumers
increasing needs, Sokimex built internationally
standards, such as oil storage facilities, oil
jetties, oil stations, oils transportation, and
so on. Moreover, Sokimex has always imported oil
from from countries that maintain international
standards of quality.
Due to its high profitability, oil trading in
Cambodia has brought about hot competition. However,
it is the rule of the free market system that
we have to cope with competition and compete by
using our best strategy. Sokimex is very optimistic
and honest as a local company and shares in the
weal and woes with all Cambodian people. We continuously
serve the interests of our people not only through
profit orientation but providing high quality
products, environmental protection and national
economic and social development.
Sokimex acts as one of the main sources of local
employment and Sokimex's return are used to expand
investments to help build the national economic
infrastructure. A part of Sokimex's prosperity
is from the support of the Royal Government of
Cambodia, organization, associations, enterprises,
and Cambodian people.
In closing this message, I would like to express
my thanks to all our supporters and I hope to
get their support in the future. And to answer
to this support, Sokimex will move heaven and
earth to serve better our people's interest.
