The factory was built on a 5,000 square metre area in My Phuoc Industrial Park in the southern province of Binh Duong, with a total capital investment of EUR5 million. It is designed to churn out 4,000 tones of products per year and double its capacity in the coming years.

The factory uses the latest technologies from Europe including the UHT technology to ensure product quality which meet the EU’s strict standards.

The group’s products will not only meet local consumer demand, but will also be exported to other countries in the South East Asia region, he added.
