Hai Duong province is currently developing six new industrial parks with ongoing infrastructure projects. To date, these parks have successfully attracted substantial investments, totaling several trillion Vietnamese dong.
Major Projects Spanning Billions in Investments
Among the new industrial parks, An Phat 1 is at the forefront with its infrastructure readiness, attracting investments at an early stage. So far, it has secured 18 projects with a combined investment exceeding VND 12,500 billion (approximately USD 500 million). Notably, the investments from Biel Crystal (Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Singapore) and CE LINK Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Hong Kong, China) are the most significant, amounting to VND 6,100 billion and VND 1,400 billion, respectively. Representatives from Biel Crystal Vietnam reported that the company has leased over 20 hectares of land at An Phat 1 for constructing a facility dedicated to glass production and related products. The goal is to produce and sort approximately 623 million products annually. The enterprise commits to utilizing modern, environmentally friendly production lines and exporting all its products. The factory is slated to commence operations in Q2 2025, providing employment for approximately 10,000 workers.
As of April, the Dai An Industrial Park’s second phase expansion has cleared 151 hectares, representing 66.5% of the total area. The entire space has been repurposed by the Hai Duong Provincial People’s Committee for industrial usage and handed over to the infrastructure developer. The contractor has nearly completed the first phase of infrastructure development over 21.5 hectares, which is now ready to be transferred to Deli Group Co., Ltd. (China) for initiating a project that will produce stationery, household items, personal computers, photocopiers, etc., with an investment nearing VND 6,500 billion.
“With a robust land fund and strategic location, the expanded Phuc Dien Industrial Park has drawn approximately VND 3,800 billion in investments, achieving a 70% occupancy rate. This includes two significant investments from Singapore totaling over VND 1,500 billion,” stated Mr. Pham Quang Tham, Director of the Phuc Dien Industrial Park expansion project.
Accelerated Infrastructure Development
Mr. Luong Thanh Phong, Deputy Director of Dai An Industrial Zone Infrastructure Development Co., Ltd., mentioned that construction teams have almost completed 2 kilometers of roads along with systems for communication, drainage, water supply, and lighting. An existing 22kV power line will be utilized temporarily. The industrial park’s centralized wastewater treatment plant, with a capacity of 2,500 m3 per day and night, fully meets the needs of the businesses.
“Ever since we commenced our industrial infrastructure operations in Hai Duong, our objective has been to attract large-scale projects that incorporate high technology and are environmentally friendly. The Deli Group project exemplifies this, being the first and largest investment project to date at the second phase expansion of Dai An Industrial Park. We are expediting construction to complete synchronized technical infrastructure and continue to attract investments,” added Mr. Phong.
The expanded Phuc Dien Industrial Park, covering 246.5 hectares with an investment of nearly VND 2,000 billion, has nearly completed land clearance. Trung Quy Bac Ninh JSC is undertaking leveling and construction of drainage, water supply, lighting, and communication systems. The main traffic artery has reached 30% completion. The initial phase of the centralized wastewater treatment plant will have a capacity of 4,000 m3 per day and night, which will increase to 8,000 m3 following the operational commencement of subsidiary projects. The aim is to complete synchronized infrastructure within 2024.
“We are accelerating the construction of technical infrastructure to enable subsidiary investors to construct factories; we are also assisting businesses in completing procedures for investment registration certificates and construction permits,” concluded Mr. Pham Quang Tham, Director of the Phuc Dien Industrial Park expansion project. Since 2023, the industrial parks of Phuc Dien expansion, Dai An expansion phase 2, and An Phat 1 have attracted 29 projects with a total investment of approximately USD 930 million (about VND 22,000 billion). Of these, 20 projects have been granted investment registration certificates, accounting for over 50% of the total capital invested in Hai Duong’s industrial parks since the beginning of 2023. In addition to these three parks, the industrial parks of Kim Thanh and Tan Truong expansions are also rapidly progressing with their land clearance. Gia Loc Industrial Park has begun constructing technical infrastructure.
In 2024, leveraging the land fund advantages of the six new industrial parks, Hai Duong continues to be a compelling destination for investors. According to the Industrial Parks Authority of the province, alongside accelerating technical infrastructure construction, infrastructure investors are actively facilitating businesses with legal procedures. Many companies have received their investment registration certificates earlier than anticipated, and all levels, sectors, and local authorities in the province are creating conducive conditions for businesses to recruit employees. Any challenges or issues encountered during the investment exploration and project implementation phases are swiftly and effectively resolved by the relevant authorities.
