It is expected to become operational in June 2022 and generate approximately 5,000 jobs.
Pledging to create the best conditions possible for the investors, Vinh Phuc authorities asked them to ensure the construction quality, prioritize employing local workers, transfer technology, and organize training courses for their employees, among others.
In October 2019, the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding on land lease at the industrial cluster, pledging to invest about 840 million USD in three phases.
The YPE Vina Co., Ltd. and Korea Circuit Co., Ltd. are subordinate companies of the Young Poong Group.
