Cargo logistics operations, representing a Vietnam logistics joint venture supported by ECOVIS Australia and TTH

Hai Phong is one of northern Vietnam’s principal industrial and port cities, combining deep-water seaport infrastructure with a growing base of electronics, automotive and logistics manufacturers. TTH helps international manufacturers set up and operate in Hai Phong — from investment licensing to land, construction and labour compliance.

TTH serves clients in Hai Phong nationwide from our head office in Ho Chi Minh City; we do not maintain a local branch office in the city.

Why manufacturers choose Hai Phong

Hai Phong offers direct access to one of Vietnam’s largest seaports, well-developed industrial zones and strong logistics infrastructure connecting factories to export markets. It has attracted major electronics, automotive and component manufacturers and remains a priority location for export-oriented FDI projects.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreign investor build a wholly-owned factory in Hai Phong?

Yes. In most manufacturing sectors a foreign investor can hold 100% and lease land in an industrial zone, subject to project approval and the relevant licences.

What comes first — the IRC or the land lease?

Sequencing matters. We coordinate the IRC, the land / factory lease and construction approvals so commitments are made in the right order and on realistic timelines.

Do you handle labour compliance for factories?

Yes. We prepare labour contracts, internal labour regulations and social-insurance registration, and advise on work permits for foreign managers.
