Kandal M Venture Secures Structured Growth Capital Facility to Fuel Philippines Manufacturing Operations
Backed by Mid-Double-Digit Year-Over-Year Order Growth, Funding Directly Translates Premium Global Brand Backlog into Expanded Physical Capacity
TAKHMAO, Cambodia, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kandal M Venture Limited (Nasdaq: FMFC) (“Kandal”or the “Company”),a contract manufacturer of affordable luxury leather goods with manufacturing operations in Cambodia, today announced it has closed a structured growth capital facility of up to US$ 25 million in senior unsecured convertible promissory notes.
The Company successfully executed its initial closing, securing US$1 million in immediate growth funding to support its international infrastructure expansion. Proceeds from the facility are strictly earmarked for equipment procurement and technological upgrades for Kandal’s manufacturing plant in the Philippines. This targeted deployment of capital serves as a direct capacity multiplier, enabling Kandal to rapidly scale factory throughput to meet a verified mid-double-digit year-over-year increase in customer order volume from its U.S. and international fashion brand client base.
By expanding this operational footprint, Kandal optimizes its supply chain resilience, taking advantage of the region’s skilled leather craftsmanship workforce, cost-competitive export framework and logistical proximity to global luxury distribution networks.
"This strategic facility allows Kandal to execute an offensive expansion strategy precisely when our global brand partners are increasing their order volumes, " said Yui Kwong Fok, Chief Executive Officer of Kandal M. Venture Limited. "Our existing manufacturing lines are operating at peak capacity, and the continued growth in demand underscores the need for expansion. This capital provides the flexibility to accelerate development of our Philippines hub, shorten order-fulfillment cycles, and strengthen our near-term production pipeline. "
This structured facility, provided by an institutional investor, represents a strong vote of confidence in Kandal’s long-term growth trajectory. The senior notes carry a 5% conversion premium, converting into Nasdaq-listed Class A Ordinary Shares at 105% of the principal. This development allows Kandal to continue implementing its growth strategy, aligning subsequent trenches with physical capacity targets.
The expansion supports Kandal’s broader strategy to build a multi‑country manufacturing platform capable of serving premium global brands with greater speed, reliability, and geographic diversification.
