Japanese firms are also looking at investments in the northern coastal province. In January, Tenma Corporation and Castem Co., Ltd. announced plans to invest $150 million and $14 million, respectively, to build factories in Song Khoai Industrial Park, executives of the two said to Quang Ninh acting chairman Cao Tuong Huy. Yaskawa Electric Corporation plans to invest $100 million in a 12-hectare factory also in Song Khoai Industrial Park, CEO Nobuaki Jinnouchi told Cao Tuong Huy at a meeting in January.
