This event is deemed an important milestone, opening up prospects for cooperation and development for both sides, and laying a stepping stone for Hanoi Plastics (HPC) to participate more deeply in the supply chain embracing leading Korean businesses in the future.
On the side of HPC, the signing ceremony featured Mr.Pham Do Huy Cuong – CEO of An Phat Holdings and Chairman of the Board of Directors of HPC; Mr.Ngo Van Thu – General Director of HPC; and Ms.Lam Thi Hien – Deputy General Director in charge of Business Development of HPC.
On the side of PowerNet Technologies, on presence were Mr. Lee Don Ju – Chairman; Mr. Lee Sang Hak – Business Director of Group; Mr. Song Sang Hoon – General Director of PowerNet Vietnam.
The MoU aims to build up a conducive system of mutual support to maximise the production and business capacity of both parties.
Accordingly, HPC and PowerNet Technologies will strengthen cooperation in the construction and operation of end-product assembly and production facilities; promoting business cooperation in plastic moulding and production techniques; and other necessary fields to optimise cooperation benefits between the two parties.
To implement the MoU smoothly, HPC and PowerNet Technologies are set to establish and jointly operate a steering committee consisted of board members from both sides to discuss and exchange on many different issues.
Opportunities for supply network expansion
PowerNet Technologies is a leading business in the manufacture of switching mode power supply sets in Korea, boasting a 30 years-plus track record.
Headquartered in RoK with factories based in Qingdao and Shenyang cities in China, the company’s products have forayed into 12 countries around the world.
PowerNet Technologies is currently a tier-1 supplier of Coway, a major brand in Korea, with decades of experience in manufacturing and developing household appliances, notably air and water purifiers.
Leveraging the move, HPC will directly engage in the production and assembly of complex components that make up air purifiers, instead of just producing plastic components as previously.
This would be an important step for HPC to participate more deeply in the supply chain for Coway, while also ushering in opportunities for the company to become a leading supplier for businesses in Korea and global electronics groups in the future.
The event also helps expand HPC’s global customer headcount, marking a new milestone in its lasting journey of persistent innovation, technology improvement, and investment in machinery-equipment and human resources, to meet increasingly stringent market standards.
