Cai Yunlong, Chief Executive Officer of Hainan Litree Purifying Technology, reported that the company established in 1992 is renowned for its expertise in membrane technology as it has established a global footprint with distribution agents operating in multiple countries.
The company’s flagship ‘Litree Brand’ water purification equipment is widely acclaimed for its efficacy in municipal water supply, industrial water reuse, and household drinking water purification, benefitting over 3 million households globally.
In Cambodia, Litree’s UF membrane products are currently deployed across various provinces and cities, contributing to a drinking water treatment scale of 11,000 m³/d.

Emphasizing MISTI’s dedication to promoting technology adoption across public and private sectors, Minister Vanndy encouraged Litree to explore opportunities for bulk water supply to private water operators, leveraging their technological prowess and proven track record.
