The air around us has a big impact on our day-to-day lives. In fact, recent studies have shown that air pollution can increase the risk of breathing problems while we sleep, which could lead to a bad night’s sleep. Our clean air catalysts help to reduce harmful emissions from cars and industries entering the air. When people aren’t losing sleep over air quality, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.

CONNECTING GREEN BUSINESS IN EUROPE AND VIETNAM As EuroCham Co-Chairman, I am proud to present the EuroCham Greenbook. 2017 is an important stepping stone to a new reality in trade and investment relations between Europe and Vietnam. As the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) signed in 2015 is expected to come into force soon, exchanges between the two parties are also expected to intensify. Fostering a meaningful partnership under the EVFTA will mean that these exchanges must go beyond goods, services and capital and on to the sharing of principles, ideas Nicolas Audier and perspectives; between companies, organisations, business professionals, public Co-Chairman European officials; and most of all, citizens. Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam This was already the spirit that guides EuroCham as established in our mission statement: EuroCham is the voice of European business striving for an open and fair market environment in Vietnam. We promote European sustainable investment and trade through good corporate citizenship, collaboration and engagement with Vietnamese society. The Greenbook is a reflection of these principles, promoting an exchange of views between Vietnam and Europe while encouraging the private sector to act responsibly, constructively and with the advancement of Vietnam in mind. It is about ideas and solutions which can be employed to create a path for Vietnam towards an economy truly integrated into a global market, with sustainable development and responsible investment at its core. Recent messages from Vietnam’s leaders express the wish that it should continue to grow in a sustainable, smart and inclusive way, learning from examples at home and abroad, and betting on innovation and the value of its citizens as the drivers of its Dr.

  • Contract Manufacturing in Vietnam Increases Profitability

    Contract Manufacturing in Vietnam Increases Profitability

    WHITE PAPER WP000001-01 (EN/US) | 06/2021 CONTRACT MANUFACTURING IN VIETNAM INCREASES PROFITABILITY OEMS CAN LOWER LABOR COSTS, IMPROVE QUALITY, AND PROTECT IP WITH THE RIGHT PARTNER ABSTRACT Vietnam has emerged as a leader for outsourced manufacturing among southeast Asian nations due to its exceptional cost competitiveness and consistent high quality. Vietnam’s location — adjacent to established supply chains across the border it shares with China — provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with alternative sourcing as the costs of doing business in China escalate. Hourly labor rates in Vietnam are significantly lower than other nearby countries; and the nation has implemented strict laws and regulations to protect the intellectual property of foreign companies. The marketplace and political conditions together have enabled Vietnam to sustain the highest economic growth rate in the world since 2000. Understanding Vietnam’s unique financial advantages can help OEMs that outsource manufacturing to achieve a lower total cost of ownership that fuels higher profits and growth. VIETNAM EMERGES AS A CONTRACT MANUFACTURING OPTION The inflation of labor costs in China1 combined with HANOI the impacts of the recent trade war between the United States and China are prompting OEMs to look for an alternative market in which they can locate production. HAIPHONG This creates an opportunity for which Vietnam is well- positioned geographically, politically and economically. U.S. companies are recognizing that opportunity, particularly those that partner with contract manufacturers (CMs) to make electromechanical devices for commercial DA NANG aerospace, defense, space, life sciences, medical devices, industrial and semi-cap applications. Their urgent need to develop alternative supply chains is driving an accelerating shift of manufacturing from China to Vietnam.
