Metecno Vietnam, part of the Netherlands’ Metecno Group, has launched a production line at its already running factory in Dong Nai province’s Bien Hoa II Industrial Zone.

The $1.3 million facility can produce insulated panels 25-200mm thick and up to 11.5 metres in length with PU and mineral wool as core materials for use in roofs, walls, and ceilings in the building industry, said Metecno Vietnam general director B.T. Sudarshan.

He added that the company first established their Dong Nai factory in 1996 to produce steel roofing, walling and accessories. However, the Metecno group’s core business is to provide complete solutions, thus the Vietnam unit has been supplying imported insulated panels since 2005.

Sudarshan said that as Metecno Vietnam was already recognised as a supplier of reliable panels, the group’s shareholders were confident in investing into hi-tech European equipment and sharing unique Metecno know-how.

Metecno’s major customers in the country include Perfetti, Wonderful Saigon Electric, Glomed, Imex Pharma, Masan, Biomin, and P&G in Binh Duong province, Sanyo Digital Camera, Fujitsu and Metro Cash & Carry in Dong Nai province, and Hoya Lens, Stanley Electric, General Electric and Metro Cash & Carry in Hanoi.

Sudarshan’s announcement of the new production line was part of the Metecno Vietnam’s 18^th anniversary ceremony held in Ho Chi Minh City on February 18.
