This shift is exemplified by the recent investment decision of UNIVACCO Technology Inc., a global technology group, which has leased nearly 30,000 square metres of land at Long Thanh Industrial Park, Dong Nai province. The move formally positions Vietnam as UNIVACCO’s strategic production base in Southeast Asia.

This trend is reflected in the recent decision by UNIVACCO Technology Inc., a global technology group, to lease nearly 30,000 square meters of land at Long Thanh Industrial Park, Dong Nai province, officially designating Vietnam as its strategic production base in Southeast Asia.

Established in 1990 and headquartered in Taiwan (China), UNIVACCO Technology Inc. specialises in vacuum metal coating and advanced surface treatment technologies serving the printing, packaging, and high-tech materials sectors. The company’s products are distributed across key markets in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

UNIVACCO’s project in Vietnam is expected to adhere to international manufacturing standards, integrating advanced production technologies, optimising logistics systems, and enhancing supply capacity for high-end packaging, digital applications, and environmentally friendly materials.

According to Savills Vietnam, UNIVACCO’s investment decision illustrates a broader shift toward more selective and strategic relocation among high-tech enterprises, with Vietnam increasingly favoured for its production stability, cost competitiveness, and deep integration into global value chains.

Phan Cuu Chi, Manager of Industrial Services at Savills Ho Chi Minh City, said high-tech foreign investment in Vietnam is moving away from opportunistic decisions toward a long-term strategic approach, with investors such as UNIVACCO selecting the country not just as a manufacturing base but as an integrated platform for sustained production and innovation.

Similar observations were highlighted in Cushman & Wakefield Vietnam’s fourth-quarter 2025 report on the industrial real estate market in the Northern Key Economic Region.

“We are seeing more selective decision-making among leasing businesses. Beyond pricing, investors are increasingly prioritising locations with long-term expansion potential, integrated infrastructure, and a transparent legal framework”, said Nguyen Phuoc Thuan, Director, National Head of Tenant Representation at Cushman & Wakefield Vietnam.

Thuan added that localities with large land reserves and improving connectivity hold a clear advantage as manufacturers plan not only to enter Vietnam but also to scale operations over the next five to ten years.

Experts also emphasise that policy coherence and infrastructure readiness are becoming as important as land availability. Together, these factors help create a transparent and efficient investment environment capable of attracting the next generation of manufacturing, electronics, and logistics enterprises.

Vietnam continues to strengthen its position as a leading destination for global, particularly high-tech, foreign direct investment. Despite ongoing global economic uncertainty, total registered foreign investment in 2025 reached US$38.42 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 0.5%.

Disbursed FDI amounted to US$27.62 billion, a 9% increase from the previous year and the highest level recorded during the 2021–2025 period. The processing and manufacturing sector remained the main magnet for investment, attracting US$9.80 billion, or 56.5% of total registered capital.
