It has contributed to promote Vietnam's industrialisation processing and exporting growth.
Since beginning production in April 2009 Samsung Corporation has increased its investment from the original 670 million USD to 2.5 billion USD now. Samsung Electronics Vietnam (SEV) has also contributed greatly to the development of the country's electronics sector and exports.
Last year, for instance, it exported phones and parts worth 23.9 billion USD, or 18 percent of all of Vietnam's exports. The figure is expected to increase to 30 billion USD this year when its Thai Nguyen province plant reaches full production.
Samsung wants to make Vietnam a global production base.
It now has five phone and electronic components production factories, and plans to build a 1.4 billion USD plant in Ho Chi Minh City to produce electronic appliances, and others in Dong Nai, Ha Tinh, and Khanh Hoa for its infrastructure, energy and ship building businesses.
Samsung CE Complex Electronic Co., to come up at the Sai Gon Hi-tech Park in HCM City, received the licence on October 1 from General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong, who is on an ongoing visit to the Republic of Korea.
The factory will produce 3D smart TVs, refrigerators, air- conditioners, and washing machines starting in the second quarter of 2016. It will also have an R&D centre.
After successfully producing in Vietnam, LG decided last year to expand with an electronic appliances factory in Hai Phong to add to its existing ones in the northern port city and in Hung Yen province.
A few weeks ago it signed an MoU with the Kinh Bac Group to lease more land at the Trang Due Industrial Park in Hai Phong to expand production, making Vietnam a key base.
In November Posco Special Steel's 600 million USD factory will go on stream and annually produce one million tonnes of ingots.
Kumho Asiana plans to expand its Kumho Tires plant in Binh Duong at a cost of 300 million USD.
Doosan Vina also plans to expand its existing operations at the Dung Quat Economic Zone, Quang Ngai.
According to data from the Foreign Investment Agency, in the year-to-date the Republic of Korea has invested 3.35 billion USD to become the biggest investor in Vietnam.
Park Chang Eun, Deputy Director of Korea Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, said the investments would continue to increase because many large Korean corporations are considering expansion plans in Vietnam, which has become an important investment destination for them.
