During the 28th session, the Hanoi People’s Council adopted a Resolution issuing the List of Relocations for Industrial Production Facilities, Healthcare and Education Institutions, and Headquarters of Agencies and Units within the Central Urban Area. These relocations are deemed incompatible with the Adjusted Master Plan for Hanoi Capital until 2045, with a vision to 2065, under the authority of the City People’s Council (Phase 1).
Accordingly, Phase 1 will involve the relocation of 66 industrial production facilities, agency headquarters, and units. This includes 51 industrial production facilities and 15 agency headquarters and units. Among these, several well-known production facilities in Hanoi will be relocated, such as the Hanoi Beer Company – Hanoi Beverage Joint Stock Company; Thang Long Tobacco One Member LLC; Gia Lam Railway Factory; and Viet Ha Beer Company…
The land of Thang Long Tobacco One Member LLC, located on Nguyen Trai Street, Khuong Dinh Ward, covers an area of over 65,300 m2 and is subject to relocation in Phase 1.
Currently, Thang Long Tobacco Company has relocated its factory from the prime location on Nguyen Trai Street, handing over the land for a new project and completing the production transfer to the Thach That – Quoc Oai Industrial Park.
Among the 42 proposed new industrial production facilities, several notable units include: Dong Xuan Knitwear One Member State-Owned Company; Viet Ha Beer Company; Viglacera Thanh Tri Ceramic Company; X20 Joint Stock Company; Rang Dong Light Bulb and Thermos Joint Stock Company… Rang Dong Light Bulb and Thermos Joint Stock Company is also subject to headquarters relocation. The land of Rang Dong Factory at 87-89 Ha Dinh covers 5.7 hectares.
Rang Dong Light Bulb and Thermos Joint Stock Company, originally the Rang Dong Light Bulb and Thermos Factory, was one of the 13 factories selected by the Government for construction after the restoration of peace. During the 1960s and 1980s, consumers, especially in the northern provinces, were familiar with thermoses, round light bulbs, fluorescent lamps, and car headlights (serving the resistance) under the Rang Dong brand. This was also the golden age of the brand when it had no competitors.
The Hanoi Beer Factory – Hanoi Beverage Joint Stock Company (HABECO) at 183 Hoang Hoa Tham, covering over 52,000 m2, is one of the enterprises set to relocate its headquarters from the inner city.
This location is still operational for production and product display. The predecessor of Habeco was the Hommel Brewery, built by the French in 1890. By 1958, Habeco produced the first beer bottle made by Vietnamese people, owned by Vietnamese people. Since then, Habeco’s products have become part of Hanoi’s culinary culture, loved by consumers both domestically and internationally.
Gia Lam Railway Factory – Hanoi Passenger Railway Transport Company, located at 551 Nguyen Van Cu, covers over 200,000 m2, including the company headquarters and vehicle repair workshops.
This land is planned for public use by the city. Gia Lam Railway Factory (now Gia Lam Railway Company) was established in 1905 under French colonial rule. It has produced iconic products cherished by generations of railway workers, such as the “Tu Luc” steam locomotive and the “Doi Moi” diesel locomotive.
Duc Giang Petroleum Warehouse on Duc Giang Street covers over 159,000 m2 and serves as a fuel storage facility.
Dong Xuan Knitwear One Member Company (formerly Dong Xuan Knitwear Factory) was established in 1959. From late 1964 to 1979, the factory primarily produced items for the military, including Dong Xuan thermal underwear, anti-cold sweaters, military belts, canteen straps, magazine pouches, grenade bags, rice bags, belts, gloves, anti-mosquito socks, vests, and personal mosquito nets, blankets… Photo: Doximex.
The Hanoi People’s Newspaper Printing Company and Hanoi New Newspaper One Member LLC, located on prime land in the capital, are also included in Phase 1 of the relocation plan.
