Finnish textile service company Lindström has launched its first service center in Vietnam, located in Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai Province. The facility introduces Lindström’s circular economy-based workwear rental model to the Vietnamese market.
“While the circular economy is at the heart of our offering, sustainability goes beyond that,” says Juha Laurio, CEO of Lindström.
He emphasized the company’s holistic approach to sustainability—balancing environmental efficiency, employee wellbeing, and customer value. The service includes workwear rental with weekly delivery, laundry, and storage, helping businesses reduce waste and costs.
Vietnam’s focus on sustainable development creates favorable conditions for Lindström’s expansion.
“Many Vietnamese companies share our climate goals, and we are committed to supporting them,” says Laurio.
Lindström has pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
Deputy Finnish Ambassador to Vietnam, Saramaria Kalkku, praised the role of Finnish companies in driving sustainability.
“Lindström’s solutions not only support environmental goals but also improve workplace health and safety,” says Kalkku.
Beyond business, Lindström is partnering with ActionAid Vietnam on a clean water project for schools in climate-affected Tra Vinh City, benefiting 5,000 children.
“This partnership shows how business can contribute to sustainable development,” says Hoang Phuong Thao, ActionAid’s Chief Representative in Vietnam.
