Y & W Garment Co., Ltd.

Y & W Garment Co., Ltd. is a major garment manufacturer based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Established in 2012, the company operated as a large-scale contract manufacturer with a workforce of approximately 1,300 to 5,000 employees at its peak. The firm specialized in the production of infant and children's apparel, offering a diverse product portfolio that included baby rompers, bodysuits, knitted pants, dresses, polo shirts, and sleepsuits. Their manufacturing capabilities extended to both knitted and woven garments, utilizing materials such as cotton, organic cotton, polyester, and elastane. Y & W Garment Co., Ltd. maintained a strong international trade presence, primarily exporting to major retailers and brands in North America, including Walmart Canada, The Genuine Canadian Corp, and The William Carter Company. Despite its significant production capacity and high reorder rates, the company faced a major operational crisis in early 2024, leading to factory closure and legal intervention by the Cambodian Ministry of Labor regarding worker compensation and asset management.
