It gives Austrian suppliers a basis for evaluating their market opportunities and possible outreach strategies in Vietnam. Methods of analysis include desk research, quantitative and qualitative analyses. The report focuses on Vietnam’s industrial development in recent years as well as strategies and development directions in the coming years. It includes chapters on six main industries, namely mechanical engineering, plastics, packaging, food processing, woodworking, and electronics; and gives information about manufacturing, export and machinery capacities, as well as technology levels in these sectors. In addition, the report offers a close-up on external factors influencing the industries, value chains, the roles of foreign vs. domestic companies, and relevant statistical data. It also includes a chapter on automation and digitalization of the industry. The outcome of the study suggests that in many industry sectors in Vietnam, foreign companies have taken the development lead in the past. However, supported by government initiatives, domestic companies of different sizes have emerged, too, and will have a strong need for technological advancement in order to remain competitive in the coming years. Austrian companies may find opportunities with other foreign industrial companies, but also industrial SME from Vietnam that are set to grow and invest. Opportunities include the export of high-tech machineries to Vietnam, such as welding, surface treatment, high pressure forming technologies, plastics processing and recycling machines, woodworking machines, food processing technologies, and many others. Since Vietnam is still a relatively low-cost country on a development path, it provides vast opportunities for outsourcing production processes for a number of industrial sectors. For the same reason, real “smart” factories are still very low in numbers, but competition is putting pressure on local factories to invest in automation and digitalization. Vietnamese manufacturing enterprises receive support from the local government in terms of policies, capital sources, etc. to foster expansion and upgrades of technology levels and production capacities. All this presents opportunities for Austrian companies to do business with industrial companies in Vietnam. Ein Service der AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA 4 CONTENTS 1.

  • 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.

  • HEGGEMANN Helps with Series Start-Up the Aerospace Technology
    press release / Airport PAD / Büren-Ahden 12/04/2019 HEGGEMANN helps with series start-up The aerospace technology specialist at Paderborn/Lippstadt Airport is taking on a major order from Vietnam. The excavators have already arrived to move many cubic meters of earth on HEGGEMANN AG's new expansion site. In its core business, the specialist from Büren focuses on the development and implementation of highly complex metal assemblies for the aviation industry. For example, complete landing gear systems are developed, tested and transferred to series production, or complex welded assemblies made of special materials such as titanium are produced for aircraft engines. In addition to the aviation sector, the automotive industry has traditionally used the vertical integration of the lightweight construction specialist for selected series projects for more than 30 years. Very quickly, in the fourth quarter of 2018, HEGGEMANN AG received a major order from the new Vietnamese automotive group VinFast, which emerged from VinGroup, a globally active multi-group. In a first step, VinFast manufactures two models under license, which are based on the technology of the last BMW 5 Series and BMW X5 Series. More than half of VinFast's suppliers come from Germany. In connection with HEGGEMANN AG, the list with names such as ABB, Bosch, Dürr, Siemens, ThyssenKrupp and ZF reads impressively. HEGGEMANN was selected because of its reliable customer relationships within the automotive industry to ensure the start-up of the complex front and rear axle production. In order to implement this ambitious project, HEGGEMANN is expanding its production areas directly at the site where the series production plant will be put into operation.
