Sonion A/S got its license to invest in the Saigon Hi-tech Park on Tuesday. According to the contract, the construction of estimated US$25 million facility will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2006.
The factory is designed to produce transducers for hearing instruments, professional audio and mobile terminals, including silicon microphones based on MEMS technology for export.
“We choose Vietnam primarily because it is an excellent, emerging country for production. It has a large production of 80 million people with an abundance of young, energetic and highly literate labor.” said Executive Vice President Jørn Bjerregaard-Nielsen as quoted on the company’s official website.
He added that Vietnam is also close to our China facilities and the majority of our customers.
The park covers 913 ha and it is located 15-17 km from downtown HCMC and Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
