With the continuous increase in tariffs in the United States, many stationery merchants and planner business owners are seeking new supply chain solutions to stay competitive. Among the many potential manufacturing destinations, Cambodia has emerged as a standout choice.
At Lion Paper, we have established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Cambodia, leveraging the country’s strengths to provide high-quality, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions for our global customers.
