Three domestic
firms last week inked a strategic cooperation deal to build a $1 billion industrial park in the capital to muscle up
supporting industries.
Industrial property developer N&G Corp, electronics and IT firm
Hanel and DOJI Gold & Gems Group will develop the Hanoi Southern Supporting
Industrial Park (Hanssip), based on the expansion of Dai Xuyen industrial
cluster, covering 700 hectares in Phu Xuyen district, the southern gateway to
Hanoi. It is situated on the main Phap Van-Cau Gie-Ninh Binh expressway and
National Road 1A, about 85 kilometres from Haiphong port and 60km from Noi Bai
international airport.
The specialised industrial park will welcome supporting industries,
mainly hi-tech part production for textile and garments, leather and footwear,
electronics-informatics, automobile and motorbike manufacturing sectors. The
industrial park will meet Japanese supporting industry standards and include an
urban service, logistics and trading area, plus banks, healthcare services and
schools to ensure good living conditions for workers and experts working at the
park.
“We are determined to develop Hanssip, contributing to the development
of supporting industries in Hanoi and in Vietnam,” said N&G Corp chairman
Nguyen Hoang. Hoang told VIR that N&G Corp, Hanel and DOJI late last week
arrived in Tokyo to sign a cooperation deal with Shimizu Group, one of Japan’s
top-five leading architectural, engineering and general contracting firm, to
jointly develop Hanssip.
Hanssip is the second industrial park in the north specialised in
attracting supporting industry investors. Privately-run Kinh Bac Corporation in
2009 developed an industrial park in northern Bac Ninh province, 40 kilometres
from Hanoi, to lure Japanese investors operating in supporting industries.
In another development, construction started last week at Long Duc
Industrial Park in southern Dong Nai province. Developed by the joint venture
involving Japanese firms Sojitz Corporation, Daiwa House Industry and Kobelco
Eco-Solutions and local partner Donafoods, the $50 million park also
prioritises attracting Japanese investors in supporting industries.
In Vietnam’s economic development strategy for 2011-2020, the
Vietnamese government considers developing supporting industries as an
important task to help slash the trade deficit and make Vietnam an
industrialised country by 2020. “Businesses conducting production activities in
Hanssip will receive much support such as quick and simple procedures, tax
incentives, workforce training assistance and particularly flexible bank
loans,” Hoang said.
Nguyen Huy Tuong, vice chairman of Hanoi Municipal People’s Committee
said Hanoi was now home to eight industrial parks, but all were fully occupied.
Meanwhile, the city has planned to relocate thousands of manufacturing
facilities from inner city areas and Hanssip will be a destination for the
relocated enterprises.
Hanssip will also help develop the Phu Xuyen satellite urban area as
per Hanoi’s master plan vision to 2050.
