The Hinokiya Resco Construction Viet Nam Company (HRC Viet Nam) officially inaugurated its HRC Factory in the northern port city of Hai Phong’s Thuy Nguyen District on Tuesday to produce reinforced concrete products.

Pre-cast concrete has been developed to meet Viet Nam’s conditions and environment. HRC’s reinforced concrete products are expected to make construction of industrial buildings and housing projects in urban areas in a faster, more sustainable, more cost-effective and less labour-intensive manner.

Using the concrete, it only takes seven to 10 days to build a house with an average area of 150-200sq.m (three to four floors). The concrete is resistant to earthquakes, fire and water.

The HRC factory’s phase one will have a capacity of 50,000sq.m a year. HRC aimed to develop high-quality products by investing in technology.

HRC Viet Nam was established in August 2018 by CJSC (40 per cent of capital) and Resco House under Japanese Hinokiya Group (60 per cent).

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Nguyen Huu Tinh, CJSC’s general director, said they would like to bring advanced technologies and better construction materials into Viet Nam, thus contributing to develop a greener, cleaner and more sustainable environment.

Kondo Akira, Hinokiya Group’s chairman, said the project was part of the group’s strategy to invest overseas in Viet Nam.

CJSC has a presence at more than 100 construction projects in 40 industrial zones nationwide.

Resco House has 40 years of experience building reinforced concrete houses in Japan. — VNS
