This is a leap of MEDIPLAST, which clearly demonstrates the orientation of the company after Vietnam Medical Equipment Corporation's (VINAMED) acquisition of MEDIPLAST was approved by the general shareholders' meeting in May 2017.

MEDIPLAST operates mainly in the field of manufacturing, trading, import and export of medical equipment, materials and medical instruments, and related products applied with the most modern production lines of UK and Japan.

Construction formally starting in November 2016, the factory was completed and came into operation in June 2017. At present, it focuses on production of sterile plastic syringes and feeding syringes, K1 auto disable syringes, INSULIN syringes, scalp vein set needles and infusion sets.

With an area of 13,000 square metres and the staff number of more than 200, the new factory in Bac Ninh will help MEDIPLAST improve production capacity and develop new products to meet the needs of high quality plastic medical equipment in the country and become the supplier of global organisations such as United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO), Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), and the Global Vaccine Alliance Translation (GAVI), among others.

The company’s products will not only serve the domestic market but also be exported to Ukraine, Japan, Taiwan, Nigeria and Laos.
