[3][4] The Lambak Kanan East Industrial Park, located approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Bandar Seri Begawan in Kampong Salambigar, underwent an expansion to support Brunei's efforts in economic diversification.

Initially developed by Brunei Industrial Development Authority for light manufacturing on smaller plots intended for local consumption, the industrial estate covered over 30 hectares (74 acres) in Phase 1, with an additional 40 hectares in Phase 2.

The Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) oversaw a significant expansion, adding 67 hectares to the western side of the park to accommodate larger-scale industries, particularly in the halal food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and light manufacturing sectors.

Viva Pharmaceuticals finalised the construction of a 9,200 square metres (99,000 sq ft) plant for the production of halal pharmaceuticals, focusing on generic drugs, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics, with plans for further expansion as infrastructure supported it.

The BEDB also anticipated investments in oil country tubular goods and light assembly, which were expected to contribute to the development of local enterprises.
