Midea Vietnam Air Conditioning Factory
The group’s first factory outside of China was established in the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park 1, Thuân An City, in 2007. This factory specializes in producing home appliances such as vacuum cleaners, rice cookers, ovens, air conditioners, and refrigerators.
Subsequently, Midea Group constructed a second factory in My Phuoc 3 Industrial Park, Ben Cat Town, Binh Duong. This project expanded their production scale and diversified their product range.
The leader also shared that Midea’s factories in Binh Duong have been operating efficiently and thriving in recent years. In 2024, their revenue grew by over 50% compared to 2023.
Businesses highly appreciate Binh Duong’s well-developed infrastructure and attractive investment policies. Midea considers Vietnam a strategic hub in its global supply chain, especially given the country’s role in assuming many production bases relocated from China. Therefore, the group is keen on exploring opportunities to expand its factory in Binh Duong further.
