Launching "super" projects

After resolving many difficulties in legal procedures and site clearance, in the early days of 2025, a number of "super" projects in Nghi Son have begun to launch. With a large total investment, the projects will contribute to spreading investment attraction; at the same time, they promise to promote strong socio-economic development of the province in the coming time.

Line 3, Nghi Son Steel Rolling Mill No. 2 is ready for operation.

Duc Giang Chemical Complex with a total investment of 12,000 billion VND is expected to start construction on February 17, divided into 3 investment phases. In phase 1, the factory will produce 151,000 tons of chemicals/year. Of which, there are 50,000 tons of 100% concentrated NaOH, 30,000 tons of water treatment agent (PAC), 20,000 tons of Ca bleaching powder, 15,000 tons of HCI acid... When phase 2 comes into operation, PVC plastic products will be born and this is also the first time Vietnam has produced a product with this complex processing technology. According to Duc Giang Chemical Group Joint Stock Company, when completed, this will become the largest chemical complex in Vietnam. This project is considered by the company's leaders as the "trump card" in the future, when the business activities of the factory in Lao Cai have reached a stage where it cannot develop further.

Director of Duc Giang Nghi Son Chemical Company Limited, Luu Bach Dat, once shared: The project has many advantages such as being close to Nghi Son deep-water port system, limestone mines around this area have large reserves, creating favorable conditions for production input. Regarding output, the company assesses that the domestic market has a large demand, because the domestic chemical production capacity has not met the demand. Currently, domestic chemicals only meet 50% of industrial and consumer needs. If production can be done, it will reduce product costs and proactively provide input for many large factories. Duc Giang Chemical has "targeted" many customers such as Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Plant, thermal power plants in Nghi Son Economic Zone (KKTNS)... When phase 1 comes into operation, Duc Giang Chemical Complex is expected to create jobs for 300 direct workers and contribute about 100 billion VND to the Thanh Hoa provincial budget each year. When the complex is fully operational, it will create jobs for about 2,000 workers.

Previously, on September 17, 2024, the Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee approved the adjustment of the investment policy for Project No. 1 of Duc Giang Nghi Son Chemical Complex, invested by Duc Giang Nghi Son Chemical Company Limited. Accordingly, the implementation progress includes groundbreaking, equipment installation, trial run and handover from the fourth quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2026, aiming for completion and official operation in the first quarter of 2026.

The Billion Union Vietnam Fabric Factory, invested by Billion Union Thanh Hoa Textile Company Limited with Singaporean capital, is being built in Tan Truong Commune (Nghi Son Town) and is expected to start construction on February 17. According to the decision approving the investment policy, the factory will have an area of ​​32.5 hectares, with a total investment of about 70 million USD (1,600 billion VND). The goal is to produce fabric and complete textile products with a capacity of 60 tons/day, equivalent to 18,000 tons/year (120 million m2 of fabric/year) and will be divided into 3 investment and operation phases.

According to Billion Union Thanh Hoa Textile Company Limited, the factory will use machinery and equipment in accordance with national technical regulations and standards of G7 countries on safety, energy saving and environmental protection; at the same time, comply with standards on treatment of exhaust gas, wastewater, waste... to meet safety standards in accordance with Vietnamese regulations before discharging into the environment.

Dong Vang Industrial Park is being accelerated.

Currently, the garment and footwear industry accounts for 90% of the province's export turnover. However, the activities of enterprises in this field mainly meet the goal of creating jobs, the added value in this industry is not high due to dependence on imported raw materials and fuel. Along with that, many enterprises have not taken advantage of the tariff incentives brought by new generation free trade agreements due to the lack of supporting enterprises supplying domestic raw materials to meet the rules of origin of inputs. The fact that factories in the field of supplying raw materials and accessories will gradually fill the "gap" in the supporting industry chain, thereby promoting the attraction of more new projects in this field.

Along with efforts to support projects preparing to enter the start-up roadmap, Thanh Hoa province, the Management Board of the Economic Zones and the Industrial Parks (IPs) are also continuing to remove difficulties so that projects in the process of early implementation such as: Long Son insulation materials and gypsum board factory; Long Son Container Port; Nghi Son high-tech mechanical factory; Infrastructure projects of Industrial Parks No. 3, No. 17, No. 20, Dong Vang, metallurgy; Lam Son - Sao Vang Industrial Park. At the same time, speeding up procedures to approve investment in Nghi Son LNG Thermal Power Plant projects; Western Industrial Park of Thanh Hoa City...

In the first quarter of 2025, a number of projects such as Line 3 of Nghi Son Steel Rolling Mill No. 2; Dai Duong High-Tech Reinforced Concrete Components Factory; Nghi Son High-Tech Mechanical Factory will be put into operation, contributing to significantly increasing production capacity in the NSK.

Mr. Pham Tuan Anh, representative of VAS Nghi Son Group Joint Stock Company, shared: “Currently, the plant's line 3 has completed the installation of machinery and equipment. On January 6, the electrical system serving the plant's operation was also completed. The company is adjusting machinery and equipment for trial operation in the first quarter and will go into commercial operation in April 2025. The company will continue to invest in the construction of line 4 by the end of this year."
