On February 15, 2023, Viglacera Corporation, a prominent player in Vietnam’s building material industry, made an exciting announcement during a tree planting event. They unveiled plans for the “Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart Industrial Park” in Bac Ninh Province, a green initiative designed to attract large enterprises while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions and promoting a sustainable economy.
The financial commitment behind this ambitious project is significant, with Viglacera planning to invest around 3 trillion Vietnamese dong (approximately USD 124 million) into the Thuan Thanh Park. Spanning 262 hectares, this eco-smart industrial park is strategically located near three international airports—Noi Bai, Cat Bi, and Van Don—as well as the Dinh Vu port in Hai Phong Province and Cai Lan port in Quang Ninh Province. This prime location enhances its appeal to potential investors seeking accessibility and convenience.
Thuan Thanh Park is not just about size; it’s about sustainability. The park is committed to efficiently utilizing clean energy, employing state-of-the-art energy-saving equipment, smart lighting solutions, and solar battery systems. Furthermore, the park has plans in place for optimizing renewable energy systems. A key feature is the innovative water management system, which includes automatic watering methods and rainwater collection for reuse, significantly mitigating the environmental impact associated with traditional industrial operations.
Moreover, recognizing the importance of green spaces, Thuan Thanh Park aims to ensure that a minimum of 60% of its area is dedicated to green coverage. This commitment is essential not only for obtaining green industrial zone certification but also for creating a healthier and more pleasant working environment for employees and visitors alike.
Tran Anh Tuan, Chairman of Viglacera’s Construction Investment Project Management Committee, expressed the broader vision of the Thuan Thanh Park. According to Tuan, the park’s value extends beyond its immediate surroundings; it is expected to catalyze economic development across Bac Ninh Province, facilitating opportunities for local growth while attracting larger regional investments.
The park seeks to engage investors from a variety of sectors, including supporting industries, electronics, information technology, household goods, machinery, and environmental protection industries. By diversifying the industries represented, Thuan Thanh Park aims to become a hub of innovation and sustainable practices.
Nguyen Van Phuc, Director of the Bac Ninh Industrial Zones Authority, emphasized the region’s readiness to attract substantial investments. Bac Ninh Province boasts numerous industrial parks with robust technological frameworks and solid social infrastructure, making it an attractive destination for large-scale investments. Local government initiatives further enhance this appeal, offering stimulating measures to maximize benefits for investors and ensuring a supportive environment for business growth.
Viglacera’s initiative in developing Thuan Thanh Park marks its fifth industrial project in Bac Ninh Province. With an overall development footprint of 1,200 hectares, Viglacera has established itself as a key player in elevating the province’s industrial landscape. High-tech giants like Hyosung, Samsung, and Amkor Technology have already found their home in the industrial parks developed by Viglacera, underlining the corporation’s status as a magnet for significant investment and innovation in the region.
