According to an investment registration certificate granted by Quang Nam authorities last month, the project will cover 7.7 hectares in the Dien Nam-Dien Ngoc industrial park of the central province.

The firm aims to complete the administrative procedures in the second quarter (Q2) of this year, conduct the factory construction and equipment installation in Q2/2024-Q2/2025, begin trial production in Q2/2025, and commence official operation in Q3/2025.

An advantage of the facility is its prime location, about 20 kilometers away from Danang International Airport in the neighboring city of Danang and 29 kilometers away from Tien Sa seaport, also in Danang city.
Registered FDI in Vietnam reached $9.27 billion in the year to April 22, while disbursed FDI hit $6.28 billion, the highest figure in the last five years, according to data of the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
In the period, Quang Nam ranked 18th with FDI pledges totaling $87.06 million, according to the ministry.
