The wholly foreign invested company began construction in April.
Covering an area of 40,000sq.m., the US$20 million 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 US$300 million, contributing US$1.5 million 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 US$2.9 billion in 2016.
The RoK took the lead among foreign investors in the province, with 70 projects and US$974.9 million 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.
