Positive Cambodia Retail Outlook: Prince Real Estate Group’s Proactive Moves to Stimulate the Retail Market

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – Media OutReach – 6 September 2022 – “Cambodia’s retail outlook is looking stronger than ever going into 2023 with regional new players looking to expand into Indochina with Cambodia being one of the most attractive markets,” said Edward Lee, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Prince Real Estate Group (Prince Real Estate) during its business matching event with the Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA).

Prince Real Estate Group, Malaysia Retail Chain Association and Malaysian Business Chamber of Cambodia signed the Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding on 6 September.

During the event, the Group entered a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MRCA and the Malaysian Chamber of Cambodia, witnessed by His Excellency Cheuy Vichet, Ambassador of Cambodia to Malaysia.

The MoU promotes investment into the Kingdom, specifically the retail industry, by facilitating Malaysian companies interested in expanding into Cambodia through knowledge sharing and providing data-driven insights.

The business matching event is part of Prince Real Estate’s efforts to strengthen its expansion strategies via inward investments in line with the Group’s vision to transform the retail industry in Cambodia by bringing in more regional brands to complement the local players.

“Cambodia has been an investment-friendly country with three main pull factors: the Cambodian law permits 100% foreign ownership of a business, there is no capital control, and the Kingdom is a dollarized economy,” said Edward.

Prince Real Estate reboots progressive expansion, seeing a return to normality post opening of Cambodia’s economy early this year. The Group launched its first open-concept-inspired street mall, the Prince Times Square, in June this year. Prince Real Estate is also launching its flagship project – the Prince International Plaza, end of Q4 2022.

Last week, Prince Real Estate clinched two top developer awards of the year as the Best Developer and Best Mixed Use Developer at the 7th PropertyGuru Cambodia Property Awards 2022 at a gala event in Sofitel Hotel, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Chuo Spring Leverages Infor ERP to Drive Further Business Efficiencies and Standardization in Overseas Operations

Duplicates success of standards-based model from early-adopter Indonesia base to reduce build time by three months; improves accuracy of inventory management with Infor CloudSuite Industrial

TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach – 6 September 2022 – Infor Japan K.K. today announced that Chuo Spring Co. Ltd., an automotive components manufacturer, has rolled out Infor CloudSuite Industrial, Infor’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution for the discrete manufacturing industry, to its base in the United States. This follows a global standards-based model approach from its successful deployment in Indonesia, and the results are faster implementation at its U.S. base, as well as improved accuracy of inventory management, which has helped transform logistics processes in the chaos caused by the pandemic.

About Infor CloudSuite Industrial:
https://www.infor.com/products/cloudsuite-industrial

Chuo Spring is engaged in the development, manufacturing, and sale of springs and control cables for incorporation into automobiles. With the automotive industry currently experiencing rapid transformation, the company is working to shore up its business foundations through a number of initiatives. These include leveraging technology to expand into non-automotive fields, streamlining production processes and using clean energy to achieve zero emissions.

While working to strengthen its business operations, Chuo Spring is also focused on global expansion, with 10 bases currently in five countries outside of Japan. To improve its competitiveness within Japan and abroad, the company focused on enhancing productivity by digitizing its operations overseas, as it had in Japan, thereby enabling Head Office in Japan to access and process information from its overseas bases in real-time.

After implementation of Infor CloudSuite Industrial at its Indonesia base in the latter half of 2019, Chuo Spring achieved real-time visualization and improved operations from Head Office. Digitization of shipping processes, in particular, enabled the company to reduce time spent recording sales by 76 hours per month.

Chuo Spring decided to establish a standards-based model for implementation at its Indonesia base, and to use that model to upgrade the ERP solution used at its USA base by adopting Infor CloudSuite Industrial. Following this standards-based model, it was able to roll out the Infor CloudSuite Industrial solution three months faster than it did in Indonesia, going live on an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform in April 2022 for shipping, sales, procurement, warehousing, and accounting operations.

Chuo Spring posted one full-time staff member from Head Office to its USA base to oversee this project — from checking requirements through to customization and training, which contributed greatly to the smooth start-up of operations.

Adoption of Infor CloudSuite Industrial by the USA base has not only enabled governance from Japan, as it did with the Indonesia base, but has also improved operational efficiencies, with the linking of electronic data interchange (EDI) data to order and shipping data resulting in savings of 50 hours per month.

It is also able to forecast stock levels based on customer orders, inventories, and demand forecasting. By delivering results amid the logistics chaos caused by the pandemic, and further improving the accuracy of inventory management, this change is expected to help counter the rapidly increasing cost of labor in the United States.

Going forward, mutual adoption of initiatives between overseas subsidiaries, such as horizontal extension to the Indonesia base of this effort to improve inventory management accuracy, will lead to the increased competitiveness of overseas bases and the group as a whole.

“With its abundant functionality and achievements in the global manufacturing industry, Infor CloudSuite Industrial has been indispensable in Chuo Spring’s efforts to expand globally, and improve competitiveness for overseas bases and the group as a whole, as detailed in our medium-term management plan,” commented Kenta Koide, President of Chuo Spring Co. Ltd. “Going live at our USA base this time, after implementation at our base in Indonesia, is expected to produce and deliver synergies to, and reinforce our efforts to transform all of our overseas subsidiaries.”

Udokan Copper and RusHydro sign cooperation agreement on sustainable development

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach – 6 September 2022 – Udokan Copper, the developer of Russia’s largest copper deposit, and the energy company RusHydro have agreed to cooperate in the area of sustainable development. The agreement was concluded on 6 September 2022, during the seventh Eastern Economic Forum, which is taking place in Vladivostok 5–8 September. Yerkozha Akylbek, Chairman of Udokan Copper’s Board of Directors, signed the agreement on behalf of the Company.

The agreement makes provision for supplying Udokan Copper with low-carbon electricity from RusHydro. In addition, the parties plan to use free bilateral contracts for the purchase and sale of electricity, which will enable Udokan Copper to reduce its indirect emissions of greenhouse gases.

Udokan Copper aims to reduce its carbon footprint in order to help achieve the goals of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. In its recently released Sustainability Report, the Company reported that it had invested RUB 764 million (USD 11.5 million) in 2021 in social responsibility projects and programmes in the Zabaikalye region, including for environmental measures.

Udokan Copper developed a climate strategy before beginning production and was the first company in Russia to use a methodology for estimating projected emissions in line with international standards. The Company’s strategy outlines several scenarios for reducing the carbon intensity of production – notably, one option calls for reducing specific emissions by 75% by 2035, which would bring the Company closer to climate neutrality.

Noting that the power supply for the second phase of the Udokan plant would be provided in full by low-carbon electricity generated at the Ust-Ilimsk hydroelectric power station, Mr Akylbek said, “This measure will be a key instrument for reducing our carbon footprint in addition to the measures taken as part of our Climate Strategy.”
