The interest of many large investors, especially international investors with extensive experience in industrial park infrastructure, is helping Thanh Hoa realize its aspirations for green, modern industrial parks linked to multinational products with high added value.
After a very short period of meetings and procedural advancements, in November 2024, WHA Group officially "set foot" in Thanh Hoa province when the investment project for the construction and operation of WHA Smart Technology Thanh Hoa Industrial Park (Hoang Hoa) received approval from the Prime Minister .
WHA is known to be one of the leading developers of logistics and industrial utility solutions in Thailand, with over 30 years of experience in building and operating 11 industrial parks in Thailand and 1 industrial park in Vietnam that meet international standards. With its "WHA Smart Eco-Industrial Park" model, WHA's control center utilizes a system...
Surveillance cameras and information platforms are in place. Environmental indicators such as air quality, water levels, and wastewater are also continuously monitored 24/7, and the facility boasts internationally recognized high-quality infrastructure and international standard facilities.
Also in Thanh Hoa, WHA Group has expressed interest and submitted the application for approval of the investment policy for the WHA Smart Technology 2 Industrial Park Project in Giang Quang Thinh Industrial Park (Thieu Hoa), phase 1, with an area of 174.9 hectares.
With over 1,000 existing clients, including major global corporations in the fields of logistics, automotive, petrochemicals, electronics, consumer goods, and healthcare, the green industrial park integrated with digital transformation developed by WHA will become a key link in the investment chain of these large corporations, presenting Thanh Hoa with numerous opportunities to attract high-quality investment capital.
According to the Nghi Son Economic Zone Management Board and Industrial Parks, the industrial park in the western part of Thanh Hoa City is expected to receive approval in 2025. The investor of this industrial park, Sumitomo Group (Japan), one of the largest trading and investment groups in Japan, hopes to successfully collaborate on a green, clean, beautiful, and high-quality industrial park, making it a model industrial park for Vietnam and internationally.
According to the Thanh Hoa Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, Thanh Hoa has 23 industrial park sub-zones within the Nghi Son Economic Zone and 19 industrial parks. Currently, 7 industrial parks within the Nghi Son Economic Zone and 6 industrial parks outside the Nghi Son Economic Zone have infrastructure investors. |
Mr. Takashi Yanai, General Manager of the Logistics Infrastructure Business Division of Sumitomo Corporation, once stated: “This is the 5th industrial park that the group has invested in Vietnam. We are committed to developing the industrial park in the western part of Thanh Hoa City into a leading industrial park in terms of quality, operating according to Industry 4.0 trends, and attracting many secondary investors from Japan with modern technology, increasing the production of high-quality industrial products for the locality.”
It is known that, to achieve today's results, since signing the memorandum of understanding on project implementation, Thanh Hoa province has established a special investment promotion team to provide timely and rapid support in investment promotion. The Management Board of the Thanh Hoa Economic Zone and Industrial Parks is the unit directly implementing and accompanying investors in the implementation of legal procedures.
To welcome major investors, localities with industrial park projects have also enhanced their readiness to meet the conditions for a clean production and business environment, such as providing clear land and timely legal support. According to the Chairman of the People's Committee of Thieu Hoa District, Hoang Trong Cuong, the Smart Tech 2 Industrial Park infrastructure investment project is currently awaiting approval from the Prime Minister. However, the local authorities have proactively disseminated information to the people to prepare and expedite land clearance, creating the most favorable conditions for businesses to implement their investments.
Specifically, regarding the planning that serves as a basis for attracting investment in this sector, in 2024 the Management Board of the Southern Economic Zone and Industrial Parks continued to organize the preparation of planning; zoning plans; and received, worked with, exchanged information with, and provided documents to 20 delegations of domestic investors and 12 delegations of foreign investors who came to work, research investment, learn about, and promote work related to the development of industrial park infrastructure.
For example, in July 2024, the Provincial People's Committee issued a decision approving the 1/2000 scale zoning plan for Industrial Park No. 15 in the Thanh Hoa Economic Zone. With a total area of nearly 700 hectares, Industrial Park No. 15 is planned to be divided into two zones: Zone A, encompassing the Thanh Hoa I Solar Power Plant project, with an area of approximately 229.18 hectares; and Zone B (Dong Vang Industrial Park), with an area of approximately 491.91 hectares located south of the industrial park, prioritizing the development of mechanical engineering and agricultural and forestry product processing industries.
Along with private capital, implementing the land clearance project, investing in the construction of resettlement areas and land clearance for industrial parks in the Nghi Son Economic Zone, according to the investment phases, Industrial Park No. 20, with its advantageous geographical location, is being vigorously developed by Thanh Hoa province, starting with the construction of 4 resettlement areas in Nghi Son town.
Located in the northern part of the Nghi Son Economic Zone, enjoying the best advantages in modern infrastructure and accompanying support services, facilitating the transfer of products for production and business, this industrial park is being sought after by many investors. With an area of nearly 787 hectares, the successful implementation of this industrial park will be the first step in realizing the plan for land clearance, investment in the construction of resettlement areas and land clearance for industrial parks in the Nghi Son Economic Zone, creating a "revolution" to "transform" the industrial park infrastructure and promote the attraction of high-quality investment projects to the Nghi Son Economic Zone.
Well-planned development, worthwhile investments, and the careful selection of reputable investors have resulted in the realization of exemplary industrial park models of international quality, a positive factor that helps Thanh Hoa solidify its attractive position in the investment attraction race.
