Swift growth
Starting with an initial registered capital of just VND550 million, a 10-employee workforce, and small-scale business activities purchasing excess cement, iron and steel scrap, waste plastics and manufacturing brick blocks in Bim Son town, Thanh Hoa province, Tien Son Thanh Hoa Joint Stock Corporation has constantly grown in both size, capital and labor.
The company mainly operates in Thanh Hoa province in the north central key economic zone accessible to National Highway 1A, Ho Chi Minh Road, trans-Vietnam Railway and Tho Xuan Airport. As the fifth largest province by area in the country and the third by population, Thanh Hoa has an abundant workforce, largely constituted by a large young force, mainly residing in rural and mountainous districts. Taking advantage of this, Tien Son Thanh Hoa Joint Stock Corporation defined its development strategy of building production plants in rural and mountainous districts to draw local labor force.
At present, Tien Son Thanh Hoa Joint Stock Corporation has nine garment export garment factories, costing VND1,000 billion, with six located in rural districts, and providing enough jobs and good incomes for nearly 10,000 employees, ensuring social security, poverty reduction, local economic growth, and countryside construction.

This is reflected in the corporation’s investment for factory expansion across the province, with execution time being shorter. With great determination and current practical methods, the investment and business environment in Thanh Hoa province has been improved, and Thanh Hoa's provincial competitiveness index will be further raised in the coming years.
