What is Long Hau Center?
Long Hau Center is the only industrial innovation center located inside Long Hau Industrial Park, developed and operated by Long Hau Corporation (LHC). The two-storey building has a total gross floor area of 5,500 m², divided into leasable modules from 70 m² to 350 m².
Long Hau Center is positioned as the B2B Hub of Long Hau Industrial Park – a cluster of corporate offices, testing laboratories (TIC Labs), research and development facilities (R&D Hub), industrial showrooms and support services. Highlands Coffee has opened an outlet in the building, adding an amenity for people working in the park.
Location: at the corner of Trung Tam Street and Long Hau – Hiep Phuoc Road, bordering Nha Be (HCMC). Reference travel distances: 25 minutes to Phu My Hung (former District 7) and about 3 km to the Hiep Phuoc port cluster.

Why does location determine a laboratory's performance?
For a laboratory, location drives three things: sample-collection logistics costs, sample integrity and turnaround time (TAT). Long Hau Center performs well on all three because it sits where three flows meet.
1. First stop for agricultural and seafood samples from the Mekong Delta
Long Hau Industrial Park lies at the southern gateway of HCMC, on the freight route from the Mekong Delta into the city and on to the ports. Samples of seafood, fruit and pre-processed agricultural products can be received here instead of being driven to laboratories in the inner city (District 1, former Tan Binh and Binh Thanh districts) during rush hour.
- Preserves sample integrity: microbiological parameters (E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria) and residues of antibiotics and pesticides are sensitive to temperature and transit time. A shorter route means samples can be refrigerated or pre-treated sooner.
- Shortens TAT: less waiting time, so exporters receive their certificates of analysis (test reports) before the shipment cut-off date.
2. Next to the Hiep Phuoc international port cluster
| Port | Distance from Long Hau Center |
|---|---|
| Saigon Premier Container Terminal (SPCT) | Approx. 3 km |
| Tan Cang – Hiep Phuoc Port | Approx. 3 km |
| Saigon Gateway Terminal (formerly Saigon – Hiep Phuoc Port) | Approx. 3 km |
When an import shipment requires specialized inspection before customs clearance, technicians can reach the site to collect samples within 5–10 minutes. Faster results help cargo owners reduce Demurrage & Detention (D&D) charges.
The ground-floor lobby opens directly onto a main road, so trucks can easily deliver bulky samples such as vehicle parts, bicycles, helmets, toys, and carton or plastic packaging.

Long Hau Center is located at the heart of Long Hau Industrial Park.
3. An established TIC ecosystem inside the park
Several international laboratories already operate in Long Hau Industrial Park, which shows the area is well suited to the laboratory model:
- ACT Testing (ACT Lab): an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory specializing in safety and compliance testing for consumer products, located in the multi-storey factory complex of Long Hau Industrial Park.
- FITI Testing & Research Institute Vietnam: part of a Korean testing institute founded in 1964; its laboratory holds VILAS 960 accreditation (chemical and mechanical fields), valid until 2031.
- CCIC Vietnam (HCMC Branch): part of China Certification & Inspection Group (CCIC), founded in 1980; operates a wholly owned agricultural and food testing laboratory in the multi-storey factory complex of Long Hau Industrial Park.
New TIC or R&D units moving into Long Hau Center will be close to their customer base, technical talent pool and an existing supply chain for laboratory consumables.
Solutions for companies outside the park: testing laboratories and R&D facilities
TIC and R&D units at Long Hau Center have a ready base of recurring customers inside the park, because local factories outsource testing for four operational reasons:
- Need for independent third-party results. Many factories have in-house labs for release testing. However, buyers in Japan, the US, the EU and major retail chains usually require test reports from an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 or VILAS.
- Costly advanced analytical equipment. Testing for heavy metals (AAS, ICP-MS), mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, antibiotic residues and rare pathogens requires instruments worth hundreds of thousands of US dollars. At routine testing frequencies, buying this equipment in-house is rarely cost-effective.
- Mandatory environmental monitoring. Factories must periodically monitor wastewater, boiler emissions, dust and odor, and submit reports to the Industrial Park Management Board and environmental authorities. This work is mostly contracted to independent monitoring and measurement providers.
- Rapid incident response. When microbial contamination is suspected on a production line, a lab inside the park lets the factory submit samples and receive preliminary results the same day.
Suitable laboratory models at Long Hau Center
| Model | Suggested layout |
|---|---|
| Sample reception and preparation station (satellite of an inner-city lab) | 70–100 m², ground floor, near the vehicle drop-off |
| Food microbiology and physicochemical lab | 200–350 m²: sample reception on the ground floor, instrument room and office on the second floor |
| Physical and mechanical testing lab for consumer goods, packaging and parts | 200–350 m² on the ground floor, using the 4–6 m ceiling height and truck access |
| Environmental monitoring provider | 70–100 m² for office, equipment storage and sample holding |
| R&D facility, new product testing room | 100–200 m², second floor |
Solutions for companies already operating in Long Hau Industrial Park
Factories in Long Hau Industrial Park can move their offices, sample rooms or QA/QC labs to Long Hau Center, freeing up the entire factory floor for production while staying just 2–3 minutes from the plant.
Common scenarios
| Need | Problem if kept inside the factory | Solution at Long Hau Center |
|---|---|---|
| Expanding back-office, accounting and HR | Warehouse or production line space must be reduced | 70–200 m² office on the second floor, ready to move in |
| Sales team meeting customers and distributors | Visitors must enter the production area, making safety and hygiene hard to maintain | Client-facing office and meeting rooms separate from the factory |
| Sample room, product showroom | Samples are mixed with the production area and hard to present professionally | Ground-floor unit with street frontage and direct road access |
| QA/QC room, in-house lab | Ad-hoc factory extensions create dust and put HACCP/ISO certification at risk | Unit already equipped with three-phase power, fire protection and water supply/drainage stub-outs |
Key benefits
- No disruption to production: plant managers and QA/QC staff can walk to the production line for checks within minutes.
- Lower upfront capital expenditure (CapEx): units are handed over with ceilings, flooring, lighting, fire protection and air conditioning already installed; no permits or construction are needed to extend the factory.
- Scalable space: start from 70 m² and add modules as your team grows.
