China's Biel Crystal to start production at Hai Duong facility in Q3

China's Biel Crystal, specialising in smart device exterior structure manufacturing, announced that it has made significant progress on its second major production base in Vietnam.

Located in the former Hai Duong province in northern Vietnam, known as Haiphong city now, the facility represents a total investment of $260 million. Installation of production line equipment has now commenced, with official operations set to begin in the third quarter.

As a long-term partner of international brands such as Apple and Samsung, Biel Crystal's new facility in An Phat 1 Industrial Park will span 20.2 hectares with a built-up area of 535,000 square metres. Upon completion, the smart manufacturing base is expected to employ 14,000 workers.

The project's planned annual production capacity includes 130 million units of smart device glass and sapphire components, 120 million units of camera optical modules, 7.5 million units of automotive cover glass, and 150 million units of plastic products.

This integrated production ecosystem will establish a comprehensive supply chain for high-precision components.

Biel Crystal's first Vietnamese production base is located in the northern province of Bac Ninh, with the Hai Duong facility commencing operations in the third quarter of this year.

The company plans to complete its industrial chain layout in Southeast Asia, enhance supply capabilities in consumer electronics and automotive electronics, and further strengthen its global delivery network.
