The Hanoitimes – These projects are expected to create 22,500 direct jobs and manufacture products that are supplied to Microsoft, Sony, Lenovo and Apple.

Taiwan-based Pegatron, manufacturing partner of the world’s major tech firms such as Microsoft, Apple or Sony, has plans to invest US$1 billion to build a manufacturing complex at Nam Dinh Vu industrial park in the northern city of Hai Phong, according to a report from the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI).

Taiwan-based Pegatron is set to invest US$1 billion to build a manufacturing plan in Vietnam.

Following the report, the investment would be channeled into three projects which are:

The first one is the Pegatron Vietnam 1 that will have an investment of US$19 million. The project already acquired investment license from the Management Board of Hai Phong economic zone on March 17.

For the Pegatron Vietnam 2 (US$481 million), the investor is currently applying for an investment license.

The Pegatron Vietnam 3 (US$500 million) is scheduled to be implemented in the 2026 – 2027 period.

Meanwhile, Pegatron is also planning to move its R&D center from China to Vietnam in an appropriate time which should be around the realization of the Pegatron Vietnam 3 in 2026 – 2027.

At present, the Taiwanese firm is submitting a proposal of the Pegatron Vietnam 2 to the Management Board of Hai Phong economic zone. Once completed, the plant would produce household appliances, computers, phones, electronic components, among others.

These projects are expected to create 22,500 direct jobs and contribute around VND100 billion (US$4.31 million) to the state budget per year.

With the move, Pegatron would join Apple’s two other iPhone assemblers — Wistron Corp. and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. — in developing manufacturing facilities or building extra capacity in Vietnam.

The report also revealed that the MPI is working with Universal Global Technology, a member of ASE Technology Holding (Taiwan, China), in investing in a manufacturing plant specialized in making circuit board for watches, smart phones, headphones for Lenovo and Samsung.

The total investment of the first phase of the project is estimated at US$200 million, and the amount could rise to US$400 million after three years in operation.

The MPI suggested these hi-tech projects would lay the foundation for Vietnam to further attract investors being suppliers of transnational tech giants and form an electronic production hub in Hai Phong.

Taiwanese companies have been particularly active in their search for options, with companies from Inventec Corp. to Foxconn Technology Group either moving production back home or to more distant regions around Asia, seeking to escape US tariffs.

Head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Hanoi Richard Shi in a meeting with the MPI’s representatives on August 31 said a second wave of investment from Taiwanese investors to Vietnam is happening following the first one in the 1990s.

According to the social publishing platform Medium, hackers got access to nearly 4GB of source code of the delivery system Giao Hang Tiet Kiem and sold it online.

Speaking about the data they are selling, the hackers said they got it because there was a major flaw in the GHTK system. This flaw allowed them to view, edit and modify the codes of any projects. As the result, they downloaded all of the system’s data.

Medium said the flaw could be the result of mistakes in the DevOps practices of the system’s programmers and administrators. It could also be caused by the system’s password low level of security, which made it become untrustworthy.

A cybersecurity expert said the hackers could probably use the technique social engineering. This is a form of attack that targets the employees of GHTK, deceiving them to break into the system and steal data.

GHTK is a professional e-commerce delivery company in Vietnam founded in 2013. It specialises in providing convenient door-to-door delivery services for online shops and businesses.

With a wide range of operations with more than 1,000 branches nationwide, GHTK currently has more than 20,000 customers, serving millions of orders per month. The delivery company is also keeping a large amount of data including important information such as name, phone number, and address of users.

At present, there is no information on whether personal data of customers using GHTK’s services has been exploited. However, that scenario is highly possible, according to Medium.

GHTK is not the first company to suffer from data leakage and system source code issues. More than 50 companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, Lenovo, AMD, Qualcomm, MediaTek,… have also been victims of cybercrime organisations.

Foreign media and international institutions say that Vietnam is an attractive choice for manufacturers and investors who are seeking to diversify supply chains in Asia.

Vietnam’s industrial export still relies on FDI sector

Vietnam posted an estimated trade surplus of $1.3 billion in January, according to a report recently announced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).

Door opens to growing level of FDI

Vietnam’s effective control over the COVID-19 pandemic along with it signing a host of new free trade agreements has resulted in many global tech giants shifting their investment to the country.

The Hanoitimes – The move is expected to help the South Korean tech giant stay competitive.

Samsung Electronics will end Chinese personal computer production as it looks to shift production to Vietnam to cut costs and remain competitive in the PC business, Nikkei Asian Review reported.

The move is expected to help the South Korean tech giant to stay competitive.

The plant in the city of Suzhou will close as soon as this month and convert part of the facility into a research and development center, while Samsung informed employees of the factory stoppage and job cuts at the end of July, Nikkei reported.

The South Korean tech group looks to shift production to an existing factory in Vietnam. A spokesman said the decision to shut the Chinese plant was based on the need to find a cost advantage.

Samsung Electronics Suzhou Computer, the unit that runs the Chinese plant, was established in 2002 as a PC assembly center. The computers made at the factory were sold mainly in South Korea, North America and China.

At its peak, Suzhou Computer employed 6,500 people, South Korean media say. The headcount has since shrunk to 1,700.

Global PC shipments inched up 0.6% last year to 261.23 million units, research firm Gartner said. China’s Lenovo Group holds the top share at 24.1%, while US rival HP ranks second at 22.2%.

Japanese makers have left the business as top players dominate the market. Samsung will continue to make PCs, but the company will cut labor and other costs by relocating production.

Samsung once operated three smartphone factories in China, but the group shut down all Chinese production at the end of 2019. The capacity has been transferred to Samsung’s Vietnamese facilities or delegated to contract manufacturers.

According to Samsung’s statistics, around 50% of Samsung’s smartphones and tablets are produced in Vietnam and exported to 128 countries and territories, including the US, Europe, Russia and Southeast Asia.

In the 2008 – 2018 period, Samsung increased its total investment in Vietnam from US$670 million to over US$17.3 billion, a 26-fold increase.

In early March, Samsung Vietnam started construction its largest R&D center in Southeast Asia in the west of Hanoi at a cost of US$220 million. The company expected Vietnam would not only be its largest production hub, but also a strategic base for R&D.
