The wholly foreign invested company began construction in April.

Covering an area of 40,000sq.m., the 20 million USD project produces and outsources electronic spare parts for TVs, computer screens, mobile phones and electronic parts for large companies, such as SamSung, Appo, Panasonic and Sony. The factory has total capacity of 10 million products per month.

In August, the company completed the factory’s construction and became operational. It has created jobs for some 1,500 people. Solum Vina Company is expected to reach a turnover of 300 million USD, contributing 1.5 million USD to the State budget in 2017.

Vinh Phuc’s IPs management board said the province attracted 159 FDI projects from 13 countries and territories with total registered capital of 2.9 billion USD in 2016.

The RoK took the lead among foreign investors in the province, with 70 projects and 974.9 million USD worth total investment. The inflow from RoK firms into Vinh Phuc’s IPs has significantly contributed to the province’s socio-economic development over the past few years.

Last week, Fuhua Co Ltd of Taiwan (China) also commenced construction of 17 workshops for rent in the Binh Xuyen 2 IP.
