Vietnam continues to be a magnet for foreign direct investment (FDI) due to its skilled workforce, competitive operational costs, and pivotal position in global supply chains.
Phased Construction and Ambitious Goals
The development of the TnB Vietnam plant will be carried out in a carefully planned two-phase timeline. This structured approach ensures that the facility can be built and scaled efficiently to meet production demands.
- Phase 1 (Until October 2026): This initial stage focuses on building the core infrastructure, including workshops, warehouses, and administrative offices. It also involves the installation of essential machinery and the recruitment and training of the first wave of workers.
- Phase 2 (November 2026 – November 2027): The second phase will involve expanding the facility with more workshops and advanced equipment. This expansion is designed to bring the plant to its full operational capacity.
Upon completion, the plant is set to be a production powerhouse. The facility aims to achieve an impressive annual output of 7 million high-end fashion items, catering to the increasing global appetite for premium clothing.
Long-Term Commitment and Economic Impact
The project signals a significant long-term commitment to the region, with the plant expected to operate until March 10, 2067. This long operational window provides stability and a sustained economic contribution to Binh Dinh province and Vietnam as a whole.
The immediate impact will be the creation of hundreds of direct jobs, offering valuable employment opportunities for the local community. Furthermore, the project will generate indirect jobs and stimulate growth in related sectors, including logistics, transportation, and local material suppliers.
By focusing on high-end production, the TnB Vietnam plant will help increase the value of Vietnam’s exports, moving the country away from low-cost mass production toward more profitable, quality-focused manufacturing.
Strengthening Vietnam’s Global Position
This investment arrives at a crucial time when global companies are diversifying their supply chains. Vietnam has become a preferred manufacturing destination for businesses seeking stable and reliable alternatives to traditional production hubs.
The country’s attractiveness is further enhanced by its participation in major trade agreements like the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). These agreements provide favorable market access for goods produced in Vietnam.
The TnB Vietnam plant will not only boost production capacity but also solidify Vietnam’s reputation as a quality-conscious and dependable partner for global fashion brands. As the industry moves towards more sustainable practices, facilities like this are expected to adopt eco-friendly methods to align with international standards.
