Thus, one year after receiving the approval decision for the “Infrastructure Construction and Business Project of Song Cong 2 Industrial Park – Phase 2” in Thai Nguyen Province, signed by Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai, a new Viglacera industrial park has officially emerged. A new journey for Viglacera in Thai Nguyen has officially begun.

The magnitude of a strategic project

The Song Cong 2 Industrial Park – Phase 2, covering an area of 296.24 hectares across Ba Xuyen and Tan Quang communes, is divided into two zones: Zone 1 (175.52 hectares) and Zone 2 (120.72 hectares). The total investment is 3,985.47 billion VND, of which the investor’s contribution is 597.82 billion VND. The expected completion time is 36 months from the date of land handover.

This industrial park promises to be a hub for advanced industries such as electronics, clean energy, high technology, and manufacturing.

In his opening speech, Mr. Nguyen Tran Tuan Nghia – Chairman of the Board of Directors of Viglacera Thai Nguyen Joint Stock Company, shared: “Viglacera is a leading enterprise in Vietnam in the production of building materials and real estate investment. Viglacera currently owns 16 industrial parks with nearly 500 investors, a total investment of 20 billion USD, creating 100,000 jobs. In Thai Nguyen, we are implementing Song Cong 2 Industrial Park – Phase 2 and are committed to developing a green industrial park, prioritizing high technology, worthy of the strategic position of Song Cong City. Our goal is to use industry as a foundation to connect major economic development areas in Northern Vietnam, including Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Lang Son, and Hai Phong.”

At the groundbreaking ceremony, Chairman of the Thai Nguyen Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Huy Dung emphasized: “The Song Cong 2 Industrial Park – Phase 2, with its strategic location and synchronous infrastructure, is a bright spot for attracting domestic and foreign investment. Following the success of Phase 1, Phase 2 certainly open up new opportunities, create jobs, increase budget revenue, and promote economic transformation towards industrialization. However, the most important thing is that during the investment and development process, it is necessary to research and implement green industrial parks and ecological industrial parks to meet the needs and development trends in the new era.”

Agreeing with the provincial policy, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh affirmed in his speech: “Industrialization and modernization are consistent and overarching policies of our Party and State in the process of building and protecting the country. Therefore, in the role of the investor for the Song Cong 2 Industrial Park – Phase 2 project, Viglacera needs to clearly identify its efforts to promote and contribute to making Thai Nguyen a modern, sustainable industrial center, prioritizing green industries such as electronics and renewable energy, contributing to job creation.”

To ensure the project is implemented smoothly and quickly, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh requested that departments, sectors, and local authorities continue to pay attention and create favorable conditions for investors in the subsequent phases, working with Viglacera to create significant momentum for the industrial park to soon operate effectively and sustainably.

Land Lease Contract Handover Ceremony

The new project covers an area of 130,000 m² with a total investment of nearly 100 million USD.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Henry Xu – Deputy General Director of Huali Group Vietnam Co., Ltd. stated: “Before deciding to invest in Viglacera, Huali researched and consulted many other partners.
