Denso Corporation is to construct a new plant in Cambodia to produce magnetos and oil coolers.

The new plant, which is located in the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone where Denso Cambodia Co operates its existing plant, will support the increasing vehicle production in the ASEAN region.

The new facility, estimated to cost US$ 19 million, is scheduled to begin production in March 2016 and will result in about 300 new jobs.
