At Yonz Technology (Vietnam) Investment Co., Ltd. in the Yen Lu Industrial Park, dozens of tonnes of finished aluminum frames used in the production and assembly of solar panels are being urgently packaged for timely delivery to partners.

Deputy General Director Wang Jun said that along with completing industrial park infrastructure, Bac Ninh province has focused on administrative reform to facilitate business operations.

The company continues to invest in equipment associated with digital transformation, improve employee skills through training, build harmonious labour relations, and ensure workforce stability to meet signed export orders.

Nichirin Vietnam Co., Ltd. in the Quang Chau Industrial Park specialises in manufacturing brake hoses for motorcycles and automobiles.

According to Li Fa Biao, General Director of Legend Bright (Vietnam) Circuit Technology Co., Ltd. in the Gia Binh 2 Industrial Park, the company has received strong support and favourable conditions from provincial authorities and relevant agencies, enabling smooth factory construction.

As a result, it has decided to increase its investment capital from 46 million USD to 70 million USD and expand its electronic circuit board production lines. The factory is expected to officially commence operations in June, contributing to the province’s export growth.

Alongside foreign-invested enterprises, domestic businesses have also recorded positive results.

Continuous production activities since late 2025 have boosted industrial growth in the early months of 2026.

In the first quarter, the province’s Index of Industrial Production (IIP) increased by 19.24% year-on-year, while total industrial output value reached 692.57 trillion VND (26.3 billion USD), up 15.12%.

This growth in production value has created a solid foundation for export expansion.

According to the Department of Finance, total import-export turnover in the first quarter was estimated at 45.9 billion USD, of which exports reached 23.16 billion USD, up 25.15% year-on-year, ranking first nationwide.

The province’s export growth momentum has maintained its leading position continuously over the past nine months (from July 2025 to March 2026).

Nguyen Dinh Hieu, Director of the Department of Finance, affirmed that a highlight of export performance in Q1 is the strong growth across all sectors. The foreign direct investment sector rose by 15.28%, the domestic sector by 27.08%, and the non-state sector by 12.06%.

A significant contribution to the province’s export value comes from two factories of Samsung Group (Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display) in Bac Ninh.

In 2026, these factories have focused on producing next-generation display products, combining advanced display hardware with cloud-based and artificial intelligence solutions.

The Hoa Phu Industrial Park attracts numerous investors.

High-end product lines have capitalised on the AI boom, meeting global market demand.

According to Samsung Electronics’ preliminary business results announced on April 7, the group recorded revenue of 88.12 billion USD and profit of 37.9 billion USD, with the two Bac Ninh factories accounting for 12.5%.

According to Nguyen Xuan Ngoc, deputy head of the provincial Industrial Parks Management Board, in the coming time, the board will continue to promote administrative reform to shorten processing time and reduce costs for businesses; strengthen dialogue to promptly identify and resolve investors’ difficulties; and coordinate with departments and agencies to support businesses in accessing human resources, green transition, and digital transformation.

These efforts aim to enhance production efficiency and achieve the 2026 export target of 110 billion USD.
