Kärcher inaugrates new production plant in Quang Nam

The grand opening ceremony of the new production plant was held on July 2. The facility has a total investment of over VND500 billion ($19.7 million), which includes a 13,500-square metre factory and 1,600sq.m of office space. The factory will employ more than 300 local workers.

Quang Nam is a significant industrial province and manufacturing hub in central Vietnam, bordered by Danang city to the north and Quang Ngai province to the south, which houses Dung Quat Refinery, Vietnam’s first oil refinery with a capacity of 6.5 million tonnes of crude oil annually.

Following the inauguration and commencement of production in 2024, the factory’s output is expected to reach 500,000 products, increasing to 1.7 million products in 2025 and 2.5 million products in 2026.

Hartmut Jenner, chairman of the Board of Directors of Kärcher Group, highlighted that the group has 19 factories and logistics centres worldwide, but none have been built and operationalised as swiftly as in Vietnam, with this project completed in just one year.

“From planning to production, all our requirements were met promptly. Production lines were set up on time, and we received necessary certifications for timely investment progress. We greatly appreciate the support in building the factory in Vietnam. This marks a significant milestone for Kärcher, as we see immense market potential for our products in Asia. We are seeking a location in Asia to boost production and enhance our long-term competitiveness,” Jenner said.
