The factory, to be built at a cost of US$50 million, is a joint
project between the German Sudwolle Group and the Ho Chi Minh City-based Lien
Phuong Textile and Garment Corporation.
Covering a total area of more than 61,000 square metres, it is
estimated to produce about 4,000 tonnes of wool per year for domestic
consumption and exports.
Upon its operation in April 2019, the factory will use imported
materials to produce wool. Vietnam currently has 50 garment facilities using
wool, with most of them using materials imported from Australia.
The factory is expected to generate revenue of more than US$100
million per year and create jobs for 400 local labourers. It will also be
open to the public for visitors to witness all wool-making steps.

Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
