Brewing Innovation: BROWN Joins ISI GROUP

Luka D’Amato

Renowned for their inspiring spaces and leading products, BROWN Coffee and Bakery joined ISI GROUP as the newest member in our group of industry leading companies. The investment is motivated by ISI GROUP’s drive for sustainable business and our aspiration to work with companies that share our values and goals to create and build business opportunities that invigorate our communities. Defining Cambodia’s coffee culture for over a decade, BROWN has pioneered a new café experience in Cambodia, developing spaces to create, connect and network and inspiring a generation to look at new possibilities for urban living.

BROWN Coffee is designed to inspire, whether with friends or on your own.

Founded by a group of young Cambodian entrepreneurs in 2009, BROWN was built on the belief that coffee culture can elevate a city. Their iconic locations are specially designed to bring people together through a modern Khmer spirit, lively environments and friendly customer service – traits that have turned their vision for local coffee culture into a reality. Now, BROWN has grown to over two dozen unique locations to serve their loyal customers every year.

BROWN Roastery at K Mall, the community mall developed and built by companies in our ISI GROUP Property Development and Building & Materials divisions.

ISI GROUP and BROWN’s common goal to improve the way people live has brought us together to create and build more sustainable business opportunities. Focusing on people-centric design and building spaces for communities to thrive, urban rejuvenation has been at the forefront of ISI GROUP’s Property Development division. Jointly, our companies in our Building & Materials division are creating new opportunities to strengthen Cambodia through quality construction products and advanced, prefabricated structures that allow for more sustainable construction and versatile, modern spaces.

BROWN's specialty brewing equipment brings new flavors to Cambodia.

BROWN’s proven experience in the food & beverage sector combined with ISI GROUP’s resources and expertise will help them expand and bring their quality products inspired by local ingredients and culture to more people across Cambodia. Our shared love for innovation and sustainable growth will also increase our group’s tools to create and better business opportunities in our communities. With BROWN joining ISI GROUP’s Investment division, we have further diversified our business portfolio, allowing our group to continue expanding beyond our roots and lead markets in more diverse sectors nationally.
