Foxconn gets licence to invest US$551 million more in Vietnam, media reports

FOXCONN Singapore has been awarded a licence to invest US$551 million in two projects to produce smart entertainment products and smart-system equipment in Vietnam’s northern province of Quang Ninh, state media reported.

Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics maker and assembler, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company already has major operations in Vietnam.

Through its unit Foxconn Singapore, the Taiwanese giant has been awarded a licence for a US$263.7 million project to produce smart entertainment products with an annual capacity of 4.18 million units per year, the Quang Ninh newspaper reported.

The second project with an investment of US$287.2 million and on an area of 12.4 hectares, will make smart-system equipment, the paper said.

According to the investment certificate, the two projects will complete construction in July, 2026. After a period of machinery installation and trial operation, they were due to launch official production in May, 2027.

Last year, Foxconn said it would invest about US$250 million in two new projects in Quang Ninh to make electric vehicle and telecom parts.
