With the belief that health is a priceless asset for each person, after many years of working in units and businesses operating in the field of drinking water and soft drinks, Mr. Pham Tuan Anh always cherished the idea of building his own alkaline ionized water factory, contributing to bringing sustainable health improvement solutions to the community.
During his time working at units and enterprises, Tuan Anh always promoted the spirit of self-study, self-training, promoting his full potential and creativity, accumulating experience and knowledge for himself. In 2021, Mr. Tuan Anh decided to establish ION ONE Vietnam Water Joint Stock Company specializing in the production and supply of high-quality alkaline ionized drinking water.
With the motto of "Understanding water sources to live healthy every day", right from the establishment, Mr. Tuan Anh and his colleagues boldly invested in and installed modern production lines, equipment and machinery using advanced Japanese production technology to ensure energy savings and minimize environmental impacts, especially prioritizing the interests and health of consumers. Thanks to that, the company's alkaline ionized water product ION ONE brand was granted a Certificate of food safety qualified facility by the competent authority. However, the start-up journey of young director Tuan Anh also encountered many difficulties and challenges, because the Covid-19 pandemic at that time had a negative impact on most socio-economic activities.
Mr. Tuan Anh shared: We built the factory at a time when many businesses were having to cut production and business activities, even temporarily suspend operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, taking Uncle Ho's teachings as a guideline for all actions, not afraid of difficulties, hardships, determined to conquer the peak in all fields, my colleagues and I proactively turned "danger" into "opportunity" by promoting the application of technology, constantly innovating; actively installing and applying software in production and business activities, building corporate websites, taking advantage of social platforms such as Facebook, Zalo to exchange information with staff at agents; promoting, consulting, supporting, and taking care of customers through websites, fanpages, e-commerce platforms, etc.
Thanks to that, the company not only maintains stable production and business activities but also develops market share, affirms product quality and the reputation of the enterprise in the market. After only 1 year of operation, at the "Search for innovative startup talents of the province for the first time in 2022", the startup project "Producing alkaline ionized drinking water for community health" by Pham Tuan Anh won the third prize and received support and investment from units and enterprises to expand and upgrade the project.
To improve product quality, Mr. Tuan Anh actively researches and applies digital technology to production and business activities. In 2023, the company's products will be honored and certified as typical rural industrial products at the provincial level. In 2024, the company's products will be recognized as 3-star OCOP products; the alkaline ionized water product set in 19 kg bottles and bottles (350ml and 500ml) produced by the company will be recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade as typical rural industrial products in the Northern region.
From the initial output of about 10 thousand bottles/year, 7,200 cartons/year, creating jobs for dozens of seasonal workers, up to now, the company's output has reached 20 thousand bottles/year, 50 thousand cartons/year with 20 agents in the province and 16 distributors outside the province, creating jobs and stable income for 10 workers, revenue reaching more than 5 billion VND/year.
Promoting the spirit of "Where there is a need, there is youth, where there is difficulty, there is youth", in addition to developing production and business activities, Mr. Pham Tuan Anh always does a good job of social security work and contributes to the development of the ward and the province. In 2023, joining hands to support people after storm No. 3 (Yagi), ION ONE Vietnam Water Joint Stock Company headed by him donated more than 3,000 bottles of alkaline ionized water to people in flooded areas in Lap Thach district and Yen Bai province; supported more than 6,000 bottles of water at the "National Security Protection Day" and "National Great Unity Day" in 2023 and 2024 of Hoi Hop ward. Along with that, Mr. Tuan Anh actively participates in activities and movements in the locality, city...
Recognizing the efforts of the young director, Mr. Pham Tuan Anh was honored by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union as one of the advanced youths following Uncle Ho's teachings nationwide for the 8th time in 2025.
