Strategy
Kandal is focused on diversifying its customer mix away from tariff-sensitive channels and toward markets with lower import barriers. It is also expanding manufacturing capacity and multi-country production flexibility so it can serve brand requirements, reduce single-site risk and support larger order flow.
A broader customer base lowers exposure to tariff-sensitive U.S. sales.
Additional capacity supports new orders and reduces single-factory concentration.
Using preferential tariff regimes can improve competitiveness on cross-border orders.
Geography
Manufacturing is centered in Cambodia, with additional production capacity in the Philippines. The company sells into the U.S. and is diversifying toward the U.K., Japan, Europe, the Middle East and other Asian markets to reduce tariff exposure and broaden its customer base.
Risks
The company is exposed to trade policy, tariff and customer-concentration risk because a meaningful part of demand depends on cross-border sourcing decisions by brand customers. It also faces operational risk from dependence on manufacturing locations in Cambodia and the Philippines, as well as the normal risks of labor availability, logistics disruption and fashion-industry order volatility.
