Korean firm Doosan Heavy Industries Viet Nam (Doosan Vina) has inked Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with 11 local suppliers to establish Doosan Vina’s Supplier Association with the aim of sharing international expertise and networking with Vietnamese companies.
The long-term partnership agreement, which was signed on December 3, will share technical, management and operational procedures among Doosan Vina and Vietnamese industrial suppliers working in the fields of electrical, mechanical, steel, construction and engineering.
The agreement will help promote incentives for the suppliers maximise their investments and help grow and stabilisze their businesses by becoming more efficient and competitive.
As planned, the association’s members will be offered opportunities to expand their businesses through introductions to other business-to-business (B2B) firms that work with Doosan Vina. The association will promote co-operation on mutually beneficial Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes.
