Sembcorp to co-establish 5 industrial parks in Vietnam for $1.3b

The company will set up the industrial parks with Becamex IDC Corporation.

Sembcorp Industries inked a memorandum of understanding with Becamex IDC Corporation to co-establish five Vietnam Singapore Industrial Parks (VSIPs) in Vietnam valued at approximately $1.3b (US$1b).

The industrial parks will be built with rooftop solar systems and solar farms where feasible.

“The VSIPs are envisioned to be smart and sustainable industrial parks with low carbon footprint,” Sembcorp said in a bourse filing.

“Real-time tracking devices will remotely monitor and manage energy, water and waste use, as well as traffic and security, to allow for enhanced visibility over operations,” the company added.

Apart from the development of the 5 VSIPs, Sembcorp and Becamex also received an investment licence from the Vietnam government to develop a 500-hectare VSIP in Nghe An province (park II).

The licence is an expansion of the 750-hectare VSIP Nghe An (park I) established in 2015.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
