Garmex Saigon was once a leading garment export company in Ho Chi Minh City, employing thousands of workers. However, by the end of 2023, the company had reduced its workforce to just 35 people after cutting more than 1,800 jobs due to continued losses.
“The company’s business plan is heavily dependent on the sale of assets, and the traditional garment industry has yet to receive any orders”, a representative of Garmex shared. They added that if the asset liquidation and debt collection go smoothly, the company could retrieve about VND 300 billion, making the plan to profit VND 50 billion entirely feasible. There is hope that in the third and fourth quarters of 2024, the company will be able to collect its debts.
