Japanese businesses continue to invest and develop production in Long Hau Industrial Park
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan relations (1973-2023), and economic and investment cooperation between the two countries will continue to grow strongly, especially in industrial investment. In the southern region, Long Hau Industrial Park (Can Giuoc, Long An) is one of the industrial parks that has successfully attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) from Japan thanks to its pioneering green and sustainable planning.
This is a key factor that has helped Long Hau Industrial Park become a trusted destination not only for the Japanese business community but also for many countries and territories around the world.

Sustainable production environment
The Long Hau Industrial Park prioritizes investment in clean and hi-tech industries, smokeless industries, businesses producing green products, and factories with carbon reduction systems to promote sustainable development, etc. In parallel, Long Hau also applies management mechanisms and environmental protection measures, in compliance with state regulations. Specifically, Long Hau Industrial Park has invested in the construction of a centralized wastewater treatment plant within the park, with a capacity of 8,000 m3/day. In addition, it has allocated 33% of its land for public works and has invested heavily in the development of green spaces, creating a beautiful and clean industrial cityscape. With these efforts, Long Hau is one of the very few industrial parks in Vietnam to have been awarded the ISO 14001:2015 certification for Environmental Management.
"Long Hau is committed to building a sustainable industrial park community that supports investors in implementing environmental protection regulations and ensuring efficient production. In addition, the company continuously conducts research and supplies products that meet the sustainable development standards of manufacturers from Japan, America, Europe, and Asia", said Mr. Bui Le Anh Hieu, Corporate Development Director of Long Hau Corporation.
Long Hau's new generation ready-built factories are designed to specialize in the industry and pursue green criteria as well as the application of renewable energy sources.

The success story of a Japanese company
Katsura Vietnam Joint Stock Company in Long Hau is one of the earliest Japanese production investment projects in Long An province. In 2011, Katsura Vietnam started by renting a factory with an area of less than 2,500 square meters. After operating effectively and steadily for some time, the company went on to expand and successfully build its own factory at Long Hau Industrial Park 3, covering a total area of 15,000 square meters. This is a model that many Japanese companies have successfully implemented at Long Hau Industrial Park.
