Construction of the plant is scheduled to be commenced next month and completed in early 2018. It will use advanced technologies of Italy, Japan and Germany, a group representative said.

It also received many prestigious awards such as top five largest private enterprises in Vietnam, Top 50 enterprises with outstanding business achievements in the ranking V1000, and Top 50 most expensive enterprises.

Last year, the group posted 27.8 trillion VND (1.34 billion USD) in revenue and 3.5 trillion VND (155.6 million USD) in post-tax profit. It contributed 2.76 trillion VND to the State budget, up nearly 26 percent compared to 2014.-VNA
