The new plant is part of a strategic initiative to enhance global bidding capabilities through an advanced local production system. It will occupy approximately 56,200 square metres (604,931 ft²) within Long Thanh Industrial Zone in Dong Nai, southern Vietnam, adjacent to Taihan Vina’s existing plant. Construction is scheduled to commence in the first half of 2026, with operations to begin in 2027. Upon completion, Taihan Vina will stand as Vietnam’s sole manufacturer of 400kV-class EHV cables.

Through this investment, Taihan Vina aims to meet rapidly increasing domestic demand for EHV cables in Vietnam, where electricity demand is projected to grow by 10-12 per cent annually through 2030, and to accelerate entry into major overseas markets, including Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. Continuous capacity expansion and technological innovation will establish the plant as a second global production hub, complementing Taihan’s flagship Dangjin Cable Plant in Korea.

A Taihan spokesperson stated, “Vietnam’s strong industrial environment, infrastructure, and strategic geographic location provide a solid foundation for Taihan Vina to become a leading global supplier in the EHV cable sector. With this investment, Taihan Vina will help modernise Vietnam’s power grid and strengthen its presence from Asia to the world.”

Established in 2005 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, Taihan Cable Vina is a comprehensive wire and cable manufacturer with approximately 300 employees. Its product portfolio includes high-, medium-, and low-voltage power cables, as well as overhead conductors. In 2024, the company recorded sales of KRW140.3 billion ($101.23 million), an on-year increase of about 20 per cent, driven by ongoing facility expansion and technology investments.
