Scores
of Ho Chi Minh City-based production firms are leaping into the Lunar New Year
days.
Tan Binh district’s Indochina Steel Company
Limited got orders worth around VND1 billion ($47,600) from several strategic
partners right after long Lunar New Year holidays.
The firm also set to open three new branch
offices in southern Dong Nai and Binh Duong provinces and Mekong Delta’s Can
Tho city shortly after Tet.
As soon as Tet holidays ended Thien Nam
Elevator Joint Stock Company got an order for manufacturing 30 elevators worth
VND21 billion ($1 million) from a Japanese plant operating in Vietnam,
according to the company’s deputy director Nguyen Tan Vu.
Vu said Thien Nam’s early export shipment in
2012 headed Japanese market with four elevators weighing 3,500 and 4,000
kilogrames each.
“2012 would be a tough one for investors in
property and related areas like us but Thien Nam will try to keep product
prices stable in the first quarter amid escalating pressures from appreciating
material costs,” said Vu.
Vinatexmart clothing store system’s deputy
general director Tran Thanh Nhan said right after Tet the company would
inaugurate a new fashion centre in Hanoi’s Ba Trieu street and one new clothing
mart in Ha Dong district.
Vinatexmart aims to enlarge sales network to
include 30 new stores in 2012, bringing total store number to 93 by the year’s
end.
An Phong Investment Joint Stock Company, the
developer of Maximark supermarket chain, planned to break ground of third
Maximark supermarket in Ho Chi Minh City’s Go Vap district. Six Maximark
supermarkets are currently in place, two in Ho Chi Minh City, one in Can Tho
city and other three in south-central coastal province of Khanh Hoa.
A representative from Switzerland-backed
cement maker Holcim Vietnam Limited unveiled the firm would pump $3.5 million
into expediting electrostatic dust filtration project right in 2012’s first
quarter and would make $18 million power generation plant fueled by heat from
waste gas usage with an annual capacity of 44 million kWh come online in August
2012.
Some city-based garment firms are running at
full capacity despite a predicted shortfall of 15 per cent in the sector’s
export orders later last year.
“Right in the first week after Tet holidays
our company will export several containers of 60,000 products worth $1 million
and launch a new $200,000 embroidery enterprise in Binh Duong to ease
dependence on export processing orders,” said Sai Gon 3 Garment Company general
director Pham Xuan Hong.
Hong also said after Tet the company would
recruit 200 new workers for its two new production lines to boost output.
