VIGLACERA INTENSIFIES EFFORTS IN DEVELOPING GREEN, SMART INDUSTRIAL PARKS
Renowned as a leading industrial park developer in Vietnam, Viglacera boasts over two decades of experience, successfully attracting global technology giants such as Samsung, Amkor, Foxconn, and Qisda, etc. Going beyond existing stringent standards, Viglacera is pushing industrial parks (IPs) into new frontiers by taking the lead in developing green and smart IPs to attract environmentally friendly projects.
Springing into action with the green, smart industrial park project
In the realm of construction materials manufacturing, Viglacera has been a pioneer in applying green technology to its products, reducing carbon emissions, and saving energy. Building on this momentum, Viglacera is again at the forefront by establishing eco-friendly IPs, gradually contributing to reducing the carbon footprint. This journey begins with the Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart Industrial Park (Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP), the first green and smart in Bac Ninh province.
In early 2024, Viglacera Corporation officially announced the Green and Smart industrial park, "Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP," in Thuận Thành town (Bac Ninh province).
Viglacera Corporation - JSC announces the Green and Smart industrial park, Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP.
Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Director of the Investment and Construction Project Management Department at Viglacera Corporation, stated, "Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP marks a significant change for the company as it transforms to achieve more sustainable development, aligning with the green development trend in various manufacturing sectors."

At Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP, the company will recycle wastewater for irrigation and reuse non-hazardous sludge. The industrial park implements a smart lighting system utilizing concentrated solar energy, optimizing renewable energy, and minimizing the use of fossil fuels. Calculations indicate that these green solutions will help absorb a minimum of 2,000 tons of carbon annually in the initial years, equivalent to the emissions of nearly 500 gasoline-powered cars.
Attracting quality investments
Driven by the new global trade and investment rules established after the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) and the Vietnamese Government's commitment to achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2050, Viglacera aims to develop IPs based on green and smart models, focusing on attracting investments in high-tech industries and environmentally friendly industrial support sectors, creating high added value.
Viglacera confirms that upcoming IP projects must meet green criteria to satisfy the high demands of partners and customers. For new projects, Viglacera sets the standard for investment to be green, and smart, minimizing resource and energy consumption, reducing water usage, and mitigating environmental pollution. Existing IPs will undergo investments and upgrades to achieve the highest level of green transformation. This change underscores Viglacera's vision and responsibility to the community.
"Our goal is to perfect IPs to the highest standard, meeting the needs of investors with a green, smart IP, simultaneously satisfying the requirements of the local community, investors, and global buyers," shared Mr. Tran Anh Tuan.
In parallel, Viglacera supports investors throughout the entire investment process (including investment registration certificates, business registration certificates, and land use rights certificates) entirely free of charge.

Groundbreaking in February 2022, Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP covers an area of 250 hectares, located near Ring Road 4, with completion expected in 2026. Once Belt Road 4 is put into operation, Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP will quickly connect to Hanoi (20 minutes travel time), Noi Bai Airport (40 minutes travel time), and Hai Phong Port (1 hour 15 minutes travel time).
