Teng Hui Myanmar to close at the end of September due to lack of orders, affecting over 3,000 factory workers

It is known that Teng Hui Myanmar, a factory in Thantabin Township with over 3,000 workers, will close at the end of September due to a lack of orders. "The factory has told the workers that it will close at the end of this month. They have also been told to look for work in advance," said one worker. When contacted about the matter, the factory confirmed that the closure at the end of September is true. The factory, known among workers as Teng Hui Factory, is located in Rakhine Yoe Gyi Village (near the West University roundabout) in Thantabin Township, Yangon Region, and is a factory that sews and exports products for the globally renowned H&M brand. "I had planned to work at this factory until I returned to my village. Last night, we played farewell songs," said a factory worker. Some workers said that the factory had been recruiting workers until last year, but is now closing due to a lack of further orders. It is known that Teng Hui Myanmar has been in operation since 2013, for over 13 years, and has employed at least over 3,000 workers. Regarding the factory closure, it has been observed on some social media platforms, such as TikTok, that some factory workers have shared their sadness.
