Hanoi (VNA) – UNIVACCO Technology Inc., a high-tech company headquartered in Tainan (Taiwan, China), has leased 29,742.4 sq.m of industrial land at Long Thanh Industrial Park in the southern province of Dong Nai, officially designating Vietnam as its strategic manufacturing base in Southeast Asia.
Founded in 1990, UNIVACCO specialises in vacuum metallised films and surface-coating technologies serving printing, packaging and advanced materials industries. Its flagship products, including hot-stamping foil, cold-stamping foil and functional vacuum-coated films, are widely distributed across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
The nearly three-hectare lease in Dong Nai reflects a selective relocation trend among high-tech manufacturers, with Vietnam emerging as a preferred destination thanks to its stable manufacturing base, competitive costs and deepening integration into global supply chains.
Under its plan, UNIVACCO’s Vietnam project will be developed to global manufacturing standards, integrating advanced technologies, optimising logistics and strengthening market responsiveness, particularly in premium packaging, digital applications and environmentally friendly materials.
According to UNIVACCO CEO Bruce, Vietnam was chosen as the company’s overseas production base to capitalise on favourable international tariff policies and the country’s cost competitiveness.
Data from Savills Vietnam show that in 2025, Dong Nai attracted over 2.7 billion USD in FDI, exceeding 144% of its annual target. The province currently hosts more than 2,200 valid FDI projects with total registered capital surpassing 42 billion USD. In 2026, Dong Nai is expected to continue drawing fresh investment into high-tech manufacturing, logistics and financial services, driven by major infrastructure projects such as Long Thanh International Airport and Phuoc An Port, alongside administrative reform and digital transformation.
Phan Cuu Chi, Manager of Industrial Real Estate Services at Savills Ho Chi Minh City, noted that high-tech FDI into Vietnam is shifting from opportunistic moves to long-term strategic commitments. “Investors like UNIVACCO are not merely seeking production sites; they are choosing Vietnam as an integrated platform for sustained manufacturing and innovation,” she said.
Meanwhile, Sonadezi Long Thanh, the park’s developer, said the 488-ha industrial park features synchronised technical infrastructure, completed internal transport networks, and power, water and wastewater treatment systems meeting the requirements of high-tech projects.
This project reflects our strategy to attract high-quality, technology-oriented manufacturers that create long-term value for the industrial ecosystem, a Sonadezi Long Thanh representative said.
In the transaction, Savills Vietnam acted as exclusive adviser, providing end-to-end support from site selection and negotiation to deal completion, while continuing to accompany UNIVACCO and Sonadezi Long Thanh during project implementation./.
