After 13 years of operation in Vietnam with representative offices in Hanoi and HCMC, JFE Engineering has made an application for establishment of a company to gain advantage when bidding for the above projects.
Speaking at a meeting with HCMC Vice Chairman Le Manh Ha on Monday, Yuri Miyaoka, senior managing director of the overseas business sector at JFE Engineering, hoped the city would quickly give it the license so that the company could start operation in August.
“JFE Engineering Vietnam will operate in the fields of environment and energy, particularly maintenance and repair of water treatment facilities and steel structures… We’re also interested in other infrastructure projects in HCMC, including traffic, waste treatment and solar power projects,” said Miyaoka.
In response, Vice Chairman Ha said: “HCMC always welcomes foreign investors.”
JFE Engineering, a subsidiary of JFE Holdings, started operating in Vietnam in 1999 with a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) extraction system in Vung Tau, followed by an undersea pipeline in Dung Quat, Quang Ngai, a fuel supply system at Noi Bai International Airport and a lubricant factory in Haiphong.
