At a ceremony on June 18, Oguma Akita, Managing Director of Terumo Group, said the $96 million Terumo factory will manufacture and assemble medical machinery and equipment, especially Catheter tubes for patients suffering from heart disease.
It is expected to employ around 1,000 labourers from Vietnam and Japan.
Terumo considers Vietnam as a major supplier of Catheter tubes for many countries in the world.
In 2012, it started building a similar factory in southern Dong Nai province, which is scheduled for completion in 2015.
