Marubeni becomes strategic investor in Khmer Water Supply Holding Khmer Water Supply Holding (KWSH), a leading provider of clean, piped water to underserved rural communities in Cambodia, has closed an equity round, welcoming Marubeni Corporation as a new shareholder. The round also included a follow-on investment from long-time partner Insitor Partners. KWSH provides reliable water access to over 150,000 Cambodians, many of whom previously relied on unsafe surface water collection or distant wells. With a proven model of acquiring and upgrading rural water stations, KWSH is professionalising a fragmented sector and directly contributing to Cambodia's national water access goals. The fundraising with Marubeni marks a milestone in Cambodia's private equity market, proving that there are viable start-up and early-stage companies for investment with venture capital money. KWSH plans to deploy the new funds to expand existing stations, acquire new licenses in underserved rural provinces, and strengthen service standards and operational capacity across its network. The previous investment of $2.3 million by InfraCo Asia enabled the expansion of 600km of new pipeline. (Source: Khmer Times)
