With a total area of 2,286 square metres and advanced facilities and machinery, the factory will produce Viessmann’s Vitowell electric water heaters and Vitopure water purifiers.

The facility is easily accessible to surrounding communities, employing skilled local labour and gaining access to Viessmann's suppliers and sales team in the Vietnamese market.

Viessmann promotes sustainable production in Vietnam

Viessmann’s new factory does not only deliver high-quality products with advanced German technology, it also develops and promotes sustainable manufacturing practices in Vietnam.

Viessmann's products, which include water heaters and purifiers, are expected to be distributed in Southeast Asian countries by mid-2023.

Ralph Biermann, technical managing director for Southeast Asia at Viessmann stated, “Sustainable manufacturing has been taken into consideration in Dong Nai from day one. We put maximum effort into establishing future-proof sustainable manufacturing step by step.”

He continued, “We not only use photovoltaic technology to generate electricity, but also focus on the use of sustainable materials in our production and packaging processes.”

At the Viessmann factory, solar panels are installed on the facility’s roof to supply energy to the power grid, while also cooling the production area underneath.

Furthermore, Viessmann products are packaged in resin-free fibers obtained from renewable resources collected in Vietnam as a substitute for styrofoam. The use of ecological friendly foaming agents for thermal insulation of the water heaters has also increased the sustainability of the manufacturing process.

Committed to developing products for the Southeast Asian region

Viessmann also commits to expanding, developing, and supplying high-quality products to the Vietnamese market, as well as the entire Southeast Asian region, through collaborations with international product development teams working in Vietnam and close cooperation with local partners to deliver world-class water and air filtration solutions.

Thomas Heim, CEO of Viessmann Climate Solutions said, “Air and water pollution are imminent challenges that Vietnam and the wider Southeast-Asian region are facing. In accordance with our purpose of creating living spaces for generations to come, we believe that our products can contribute to the quality of life for local people and communities while creating jobs locally.”

Viessmann continues to emphasise its ongoing expansion in the Vietnamese and Southeast Asian markets by strategically establishing its facility in Dong Nai.

This is a necessary foundation for Viessmann's foreign market diversification strategy, as well as a new milestone in expanding manufacturing operations and company development.

Viessmann was founded in 1917 as a local garage for heating technology. Today, it has become a global, broadly diversified group with over 14,500 family members and a total revenue of over 4 billion euros.

Viessmann Group is one of the world’s leading providers of sustainable climate – heating, cooling, and water and air quality – and renewable energy solutions with locations in 74 countries.
