Work Starts on Knauf Vietnam’s Gypsumboard Manufacturing Plant in Hai Phong

 

Located in Dinh Vu Industrial Zone in Hai Phong, Knauf Plant is one of the largest FDI projects in Hai Phong. With a total investment of 30 million euro, the plant covers an area of around 63,000m2 and once starts operation, the plant would have an annual capacity of 12 million m2 gypsumboard and 15 million linear metre metal profile. Mr David Thomas, General Director, said: “We just launched 2 distributors in Vietnam, one in the South and one in the North, and now we are starting the construction of our plant. We believe once completed by mid-2015, the plant would help us gain a considerable market share in Vietnam in general and in the North in particular.”

 

“We are planning to expand our relationship with key partners such as distributors, architects, developers, government authorities with an aim to widely introduce our state-of-the-art products with German technology to Vietnam market. Dinh Vu Industrial Zone is a strategic location in terms of transportation and manufacturing that would provide the market with high quality products at competitive price and improve standards of the whole industry”, added Mr David. “That being said, we would improve and strengthen our position among building material manufacturers in Vietnam.”
