Compal Electronics Vietnam will invest in a specialised manufacturing project encompassing the production, processing, and assembly of computer systems and peripheral devices, communication equipment, consumer electronic goods, as well as electronic components.

The ambitious venture is poised for implementation within the current calendar year, with the commencement of both trial runs and full-fledged operations earmarked for early 2024.

The overall registered capital committed to this endeavour stands at a sum of $260 million. Once operational, this project is anticipated to yield considerable returns, estimated at $1.2 billion by 2029 and $6.8 billion by 2037.
