During his visit to this site, Chairman Tho highlighted the significance of the project to help Da Nang realise its target of becoming one of the best IT development communities in Asia.

He also agreed with the project’s developer - the Da Nang IT Park Development JSC - that the plant would be put into official operation on 17 October.

Covering an area of 1,000m², the 7 million US$ SMT plant will specialise in manufacturing electronic components and printed circuit boards for exports. It is designed to churn out 7,000,000 products per year.

Once completed, the plant will become the first of its kind to operate in Da Nang's IP Park. Noticeably, the plant is highly expected to create a foundation for accelerating the manufacturing of hi-tech electronics and precision mechanics, thereby helping promote the development of Viet Nam's support industries.
