Garco 10’s Factory System: Driver of Industrial Competitiveness

In the textile and garment industry, competitiveness depends not only on orders or labor costs, but also on how the production system is structured. For Garment 10 Corporation (Garco 10), the factory system is more than a processing base; it is a strategic asset that shapes the company’s stability, adaptability, and long-term growth.

Over more than 80 years of development, Garco 10 has built a nationwide network of factories across many provinces and cities. This structure allows the company to diversify risk, leverage regional strengths, and maintain stable production capacity in an industry often affected by labor and market volatility.

Within this system, factories in Hanoi, particularly in the Long Bien area where the headquarters is located, serve as the central coordination hub. They lead process standardization, quality control, and core workforce training. Technical standards, production discipline, and quality requirements are established here and then applied consistently throughout the entire system.

The factory cluster in Hung Yen functions as a large-scale production center. Benefiting from a strong labor pool and a long-standing garment-making tradition, the units there handle high volumes of core product lines such as shirts, trousers, and suits.

In Thanh Hoa, its Bim Son factory is organized as a strategic capacity allocation point. The facility helps expand production space, balance orders across regions, and reduce pressure on major hubs. Amid supply chain volatility, this “buffer” role allows the company to maintain flexibility without compromising quality or delivery schedules.

In Ha Tinh and Quang Tri, Garco 10’s factories clearly reflect an industrial development approach closely aligned with local conditions. Locating production facilities in the North Central region is not only intended to expand scale, but also to build a stable, cost-effective workforce with long-term commitment. These units serve as employment and skills training centers, strengthening the human resource base of the entire system.

A defining feature of Garco 10’s factory system is consistency in management and production standards. Although facilities are located across multiple regions, all factories operate under the same processes, quality benchmarks, and labor discipline. This allows the company to allocate orders flexibly among units while ensuring product uniformity and delivery reliability for both domestic and international partners.

The factory system also provides the foundation for Garco 10’s industrial innovation. Advances in technology, processes, and production organization are piloted, assessed, and scaled up under a unified roadmap. This approach enables the enterprise to raise productivity, manage costs, and strengthen competitiveness without major disruption to operations.

From an industrial standpoint, Garco 10’s strength does not lie in any single factory, but in the way the entire system is organized and operated as an integrated whole. Each facility plays a defined role, complementing others in capacity, workforce, and production capabilities. This structure allows the company to maintain stability, improve efficiency, and sustain its position in Vietnam’s textile and garment industry.
