Tan Thuan Phong Co., Ltd. (Tan Thuan Phong Company) originated from Thanh Mai Copper Casting Company, established in 1990, specializing in producing copper products such as copper bars, copper wires, copper ingots, and culturally significant items like copper bells and bronze cauldrons.

In 2001, Thanh Mai Copper Casting Company rebranded to Tan Thuan Phong Co., Ltd., operating on the foundation and principles of its predecessor, with its headquarters located at km8, National Highway 5, Hai Phong City.

In 2006, Tan Thuan Phong ventured into hazardous waste transportation and treatment. The company constructed a nearly 12,000m² facility, equipped with advanced imported machinery and locally engineered systems, to process electronic circuit boards, copper scrap, sludge, industrial waste containing metals, and non-ferrous metal scrap.

Valuable materials recovered from treatment are recycled and supplied as raw materials for non-ferrous metal and copper sulfate production, such as copper powder.

In 2019, Tan Thuan Phong built a 22,500m² industrial and hazardous waste treatment and recycling complex at lot CN4, Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park (Hai Phong City).

Key business activities include designing and installing wastewater treatment systems, environmental consulting, goods disposal, and hazardous chemical treatment.
