The 17th electric low-pressure casting system in the world , along with PVD coating technology, is now present at Viglacera's faucet manufacturing plant, marking the Vietnamese company's entry into the group of faucet manufacturers possessing the most advanced technology in the world.
Elevating the quality of Made in Vietnam products, paving the way for exports.
At the beginning of 2025, Viglacera Faucet Company - a branch of Viglacera Corporation - welcomed new visitors, especially foreign experts who guided and transferred many new technologies from around the world.
While at the Viglacera faucet manufacturing plant in Hanoi , Mr. Luca Maghet, CEO of IMR Engineering & Technologies SRL (Italy), showed us the electric low-pressure casting system that was recently delivered to Vietnam at the end of 2024.
According to Luca Maghet, this is the 17th electric low-pressure molding system in the world. "With this investment in equipment, Viglacera can fully join the group of pioneering faucet manufacturers, possessing the most modern technology in the world," the director assessed.
Mr. Vu Hong Hung, Head of Technical Department at Viglacera Faucet Company, said that with 25 years of development, the production of faucets at the company is carried out through 5 stages: casting, mechanical processing, grinding, plating, and assembly. Over the years, the company has applied many new technologies across all stages to improve production capacity.
Specifically for the casting process, in 2024, the company spent over 600,000 Euros to acquire an electric low-pressure casting system using Italian technology.
“With the old casting line, workers had to manually pour molten bronze into molds. This meant that product quality depended entirely on the worker's skill, resulting in low productivity. Meanwhile, the electric low-pressure casting system allows Viglacera to completely master high technology, helping products achieve high purity and a refined, sharp surface that is superior to traditional gravity-cast products.”
"This technology not only ensures consistent quality but also increases productivity, bringing costs down to a reasonable level while opening up opportunities to produce products with sophisticated designs. This is a crucial factor in making products highly competitive, especially in today's extremely diverse faucet market," Mr. Hung emphasized.
In addition to investing in the "core" of its shower and faucet products with higher smoothness and sophistication, in 2024, the company also pioneered the investment in a vacuum PVD coating system using Italian technology in Vietnam.
According to the leaders of Viglacera Faucet Company, PVD coating technology requires a higher initial investment compared to conventional plating methods, and the process is also much more meticulous and complex. However, because it is implemented in a fully automated production line, it not only improves quality but also creates a rich range of surface colors for faucets.
In particular, PVD coating technology helps Viglacera shower and faucet products meet three criteria simultaneously: green in production, green for the environment, and green in use.
“The combination of these two newly invested technological systems, along with the entire previous innovation process in mechanical processing stages, has created a complete faucet production line. This allows consumers to access internationally standardized products at competitive prices. At the same time, it expands the goal of exporting to demanding markets such as North America and Europe,” Mr. Hung stated.
Applying modern technology to achieve breakthroughs.
Emphasizing the trend of modern production, applying advanced, environmentally friendly technologies to meet high technical and aesthetic standards in the faucet manufacturing industry, a representative of Viglacera Faucet Company revealed that, after a period of effective operation of the current new technologies, the company will invest in converting the grinding process to robotic technology. This is expected to be implemented as early as 2026.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tien, Director of Viglacera's Sanitary Ware and Faucet Division, said that to achieve its development goals for 2025 and its vision for the next five years, Viglacera will focus on three core tasks.
First and foremost, significant investment in manufacturing technology is needed, especially in the shaping processes, applying automation and increasing the proportion of mechanization to optimize quality and productivity.
In addition, the company will boost commercialization through project channels and exports, develop a distribution system with in-depth pre- and post-sales consulting services to enhance customer experience.
At the same time, the company will also focus on developing product lines that suit the specific characteristics of each region and market trends, prioritizing water-saving technology and smart devices for smart homes, contributing to promoting a modern and sustainable lifestyle.
“The technological mark reflects Viglacera’s breakthrough efforts in elevating ‘made in Vietnam’ faucet products to compete with leading global brands. It also affirms the company’s determination to break through in an era of national growth,” Mr. Tien emphasized.
