2. PVC PIPE PROCESSING In Myanmar, SMEs play insignificants role in the country’s economic, social and development. SMEs are the major diving force for the development of Myanmar’s feature economy. Myanmar is developing country and many infrastructures are still need to be developed. At present, PVC Pipes are using in many buildings and factories. PVC Pipes are made by High Density Poly Ethylene and it is not harmful to human being. It can easily transport from one place to another and install without any difficultly.It is also a recyclable products. With the motto “reduce, reuse, recycle” and thanks to a skilled workforce and modern equipment, the company has also gained consumers’ confidence with a full range of PVC Pipes which include various sizes and design. Plastic pipes has many features that it cannot erode in all kinds of weather. It can use in infrastructure, installing of buildings, plumbing and irrigation. It will be much appropriate if we can form the PVC Pipe export consortia cluster. It should consist of raw materials supplier, producer,expert, quality management,marketing agents, whole sales retailors,exporter. With that kind of cluster, we can compete with any competitors.
