Atsushi Sakate, executive vice president of Meiko, said the corporation
has invested in building three electronic circuit manufacturing and PCB
assembly plants in Vietnam with a total investment of up to 500 million USD.
Such investment has so far created over 7,000 jobs and contributes
approximately 30 million USD to the state budget annually, he elaborated.
Covering 9.2ha, the ongoing electronic circuits
production project in Hoa Binh is set to also work on handling pollution,
collecting and treating wastewater, emission gas, and solid waste, and
recycling and reusing waste materials. It is approved to operate foru 50 years.
Meiko has planned to construct office buildings
and workshops between Q4 of 2022 and Q4, 2023; purchase, transport, and install
machinery and equipment as well as recruit and train employees in Q1 and Q2
next year; and conduct trial production and subsequently commence full-scale
operation from the next Q2 onward. The estimated number of workers to be
employed is around 3,000 by 2030. The projected contribution to the state
budget will be approximately 200 billion VND (8.5 million USD) per year when
the factory reaches its full production capacity in 2030.
Meiko said it hopes to continue receiving
support from the Hoa Binh authorities to successfully implement the project.
Chu Van Thang, head of the management board of
the provincial industrial zones, stated that the project is significant as it
promotes economic restructuring, addresses employment issues, contributes to
the state budget, and increases export value. Over the recent times, the
province has directed relevant departments and agencies to create favourable
conditions for its implementation in line with the plan, with Meiko’s proposals
resolved, Thang said.
Quach Tat Lien, Vice Chairman of the Provincial
People's Committee, pledged that the province will always accompany Meiko in
such a process by facilitating investment procedures and land provision for the
company to build worker accommodations.
He expressed his desire for the corporation to
closely follow the province's investment direction and expedite the
construction progress./.
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.

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.
