Unique bamboo handicraft products of electrical engineers

Mr. Kiet said that after graduating from the electrical and electronics department of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, he worked in his field for a while. Once when he visited the Central Highlands, he was impressed by the handicraft products made from bamboo. Realizing that his hometown had an abundant source of bamboo, he cherished the idea of opening a bamboo handicraft processing facility.

In 2006, he decided to quit his job and return to his hometown to start a business. With a small amount of capital, he learned the craft and bought equipment to make bamboo products. By 2013, many beautiful products were completed and brought to the market, well received by customers and they came to the facility to place orders.

"In my hometown, bamboo is mainly used to make houses and products such as baskets, roofing, and traps to serve the low-cost market. Personally, I choose bamboo to make handicrafts in the high-end segment. When producing like this, there will be no pressure on quantity but only focus on quality. From there, the value of local resources can be exploited in the best way," said Mr. Kiet.
