HÀ NỘI — A memorandum of understanding between Vinatex and UK-based Coats Group, a global leader in high-performance threads and materials, has paved the way for an innovative line of flame-retardant products at Vinatex — launched just a year ago and already unlocking new export opportunities.

According to Vinatex Chairman Lê Tiến Trường, the group has successfully transitioned from development to commercial production, officially joining the global supply chain for safety apparel. With early orders secured, the company is on track to reach at least US$5 million in export revenue this year, with ambitious targets set for 2030.

One of the project’s most notable achievements is the successful production of flame-resistant fabrics using heat-resistant fibre and specialised chemical treatments that prevent thermal penetration. This not only represents a technological leap for Việt Nam but also reduces reliance on imported materials and strengthens the country’s control over its production processes. Finished garments are now being introduced to international buyers.

The products have also earned globally recognised safety certificates, affirming their quality and compliance with the industry’s most stringent standards. VNS
