Japanese giant open for business

Japanese-funded Tiger Viet Nam Co Ltd opened the doors of its new US$12 million home electric appliance plant in Viet Nam's southern province of Dong Nai last Friday.

Located in the Amata industrial park, Tiger Viet Nam's first facility in the country will produce products such as thermos flasks and rice cookers.

A company representative said the decision to build a plant in Viet Nam signifies its identification of Viet Nam as a strategic market for growing production and sales in coming years.

Founded 90 years ago, Tiger is now a large-scale home electric appliance group in Japan. Its products are sold in 60 countries, with key markets in Asia and North America.
