High-tech group chooses Việt Nam as Southeast Asia manufacturing hub

UNIVACCO Technology Inc., a high-tech company headquartered in Tainan (Taiwan, China), has leased 29,742.4 sq.m of industrial land at Long Thành Industrial Park in the southern province of Đồng Nai, officially designating Việt Nam as its strategic manufacturing base in Southeast Asia.

Founded in 1990, UNIVACCO specialises in vacuum metallised films and surface-coating technologies serving printing, packaging and advanced materials industries. Its flagship products, including hot-stamping foil, cold-stamping foil and functional vacuum-coated films, are widely distributed across the Americas, Europe and Asia.

The nearly three-hectare lease in Đồng Nai reflects a selective relocation trend among high-tech manufacturers, with Việt Nam emerging as a preferred destination thanks to its stable manufacturing base, competitive costs and deepening integration into global supply chains.

Under its plan, UNIVACCO’s Việt Nam project will be developed to global manufacturing standards, integrating advanced technologies, optimising logistics and strengthening market responsiveness, particularly in premium packaging, digital applications and environmentally friendly materials.

According to UNIVACCO CEO Bruce, Việt Nam was chosen as the company’s overseas production base to capitalise on favourable international tariff policies and the country’s cost competitiveness.

Data from Savills Vietnam show that in 2025, Đồng Nai attracted over US$2.7 billion in FDI, exceeding 144 per cent of its annual target. The province currently hosts more than 2,200 valid FDI projects with total registered capital surpassing $42 billion. In 2026, Đồng Nai is expected to continue drawing fresh investment into high-tech manufacturing, logistics and financial services, driven by major infrastructure projects such as Long Thành International Airport and Phước An Port, alongside administrative reform and digital transformation.

Phan Cửu Chi, Manager of Industrial Real Estate Services at Savills HCM City, noted that high-tech FDI into Việt Nam is shifting from opportunistic moves to long-term strategic commitments.

“Investors like UNIVACCO are not merely seeking production sites; they are choosing Việt Nam as an integrated platform for sustained manufacturing and innovation,” she said.

Meanwhile, Sonadezi Long Thành, the park’s developer, said the 488-ha industrial park features synchronised technical infrastructure, completed internal transport networks, and power, water and wastewater treatment systems meeting the requirements of high-tech projects.

This project reflects our strategy to attract high-quality, technology-oriented manufacturers that create long-term value for the industrial ecosystem, a Sonadezi Long Thành representative said.

In the transaction, Savills Vietnam acted as exclusive adviser, providing end-to-end support from site selection and negotiation to deal completion, while continuing to accompany UNIVACCO and Sonadezi Long Thành during project implementation.
