Groundbreaking ceremony of Chu Lai Truong Hai Expanded Automotive Mechanical Industrial Park

On August 28, 2025, THACO held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Chu Lai Truong Hai Expanded Automotive Mechanical Industrial Park. This project is part of a series of construction works celebrating the 80th anniversary of Vietnam's National Day (September 2, 1945). It marks a new step forward in THACO's development strategy for mechanical manufacturing and supporting industries, while showing the company's aspirations to contribute to the country's economic and social development.

Groundbreaking ceremony of Chu Lai Truong Hai Expanded Automotive Mechanical Industrial Park

The Chu Lai Truong Hai Expanded Automotive Mechanical Industrial Park is planned on 115 hectares with a total investment of nearly 8,000 billion VND (including 1,433 billion VND for infrastructure construction). This is an expanded Mechanical Center that will connect mechanical products and spare parts manufacturing from THACO's existing factories in Chu Lai, producing automation equipment, smart control systems, and high-tech products.

The project follows a new-generation industrial park model that is green, automated, smart, modern, and integrated with digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI). Key components include:

New-generation spare parts manufacturing plants: producing electronic circuit boards, components, smart electrical and electronic equipment; central control systems, sensor and monitoring systems; communication and specialized electronic equipment for automation devices.

Manufacturing and assembly plants for electro-mechanical and automation equipment: robots; autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs); 3D printing equipment, new-generation CNC machines, light civilian aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, fast charging stations for electric vehicles, control equipment for high-speed trains and urban trains, and other industrial and household devices.

All operations at the Center will follow a closed-loop process from product design, material research and manufacturing processing, production, assembly and quality testing to packaging and transportation, meeting international standards and customers' specific requirements.

Research and development (R&D) activities are identified as the new growth driver. Additionally, THACO will continue developing highly skilled and specialized personnel, inviting domestic and international experts to enhance innovation capabilities and create breakthrough technology products that meet market trends and demands, participating deeply in the global supply chain.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Tue, THACO Vice President, and THADICO President, said: “The groundbreaking of the Chu Lai Truong Hai Expanded Automotive Mechanical Industrial Park helps complete THACO's mechanical manufacturing and supporting industry value chain, developing in depth toward technology mastery. The expanded Mechanical Center will produce high-tech products while using some output products from Da Nang High-Tech Park, creating an integrated and complementary ecosystem that helps make Da Nang one of high-tech and supporting industry centers in Vietnam according to the city's development plan for 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.”

"In the new development phase, THACO continues to invest in forming a regional-scale automotive spare parts production center while expanding the machinery equipment manufacturing and OEM center. Especially in the railway industry, the one the government is prioritizing for investment and development, THACO sees this as an opportunity to contribute to national transportation infrastructure and affirm its pioneering position in Vietnam's mechanical and supporting industries," Mr. Tue shared.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Phan Thai Binh, Standing Committee Member of Da Nang Party Committee and Vice Chairman of Da Nang People's Committee, expressed hope that when the Chu Lai Truong Hai Expanded Automotive Mechanical Industrial Park becomes operational, it will make major contributions with strong spillover effects such as: attracting new investment in mechanical and supporting industries, gradually increasing localization rates and participating in regional and global supply value chains; increasing production and export scale, promoting port and logistics services, contributing to local budget and trade balance; creating jobs, improving workforce quality, promoting innovation; while contributing to sustainable infrastructure development and encouraging green, clean, and circular industrial park models.

The Vice Chairman of Da Nang People's Committee requested that departments, sectors, and local governments continue to support and streamline procedures for investment, land, construction, environment, fire prevention and fighting, and especially land clearance, creating the most favorable conditions for THACO to implement the project according to the planned schedule.
