HA NAM (Biz Hub) — A US$2.1 million plant producing metal parts began operations yesterday in the northern province of Ha Nam.

Financed by Japan's Marujyu Viet Nam Company, the new plant covers about 2,500sq.m in the province's Dong Van 2 Industrial Zone. It is expected to ensure a sustainable supply of high quality metal products for domestic customers.

Nguyen Xuan Dong, chairman of the provincial People's Committee, said the new facility would create more local jobs and make a contribution toward the province's development while calling for relevant sectors to better facilitate the company's operations.

In 2015, the province's industrial zones attracted 39 projects, 28 of which were foreign-invested, with a combined registered capital of $391 million.— VNS
