Thai Nguyen garment industry has steady export momentum

Since the beginning of the year, the garment industry has continued to be a bright spot in Thai Nguyen’s export picture. By maintaining a stable production pace, maintaining long-term orders and proactively expanding markets, businesses in the industry are gradually asserting their role as one of the local key industries, even in the context of a world economy that still has many potential instabilities.

Surpassing the revenue milestone of 4,000 billion VND in the past 6 months, completing more than 50% of the annual plan, TNG Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company continues to affirm its leading position in the Thai Nguyen garment industry. Not only maintaining a stable growth rate, TNG is also a pioneer in signing orders for 2026, demonstrating its long-term vision, market forecasting ability and solid reputation with international partners.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thoi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TNG, said: Despite the impact of the US tax policy, TNG's business results in the first 6 months of the year still grew by over 15%. Workers' lives and incomes continue to improve. We are steadfast in our strategy of focusing on traditional customers, while promoting digital transformation, investing in technology and building a "green factory" model to improve productivity, reduce costs and maintain competitiveness. Currently, TNG is the main partner of more than 10 major fashion brands and retail systems in the world, creating a stable and sustainable order foundation in the long term.

Also recording positive results, TDT Investment and Development Joint Stock Company achieved net revenue of more than VND 285 billion in the first 6 months of the year, an increase of nearly 35% over the same period in 2024. According to the 2025 plan, the company aims for revenue of VND 635.8 billion and pre-tax profit of over VND 41 billion. To meet production needs, TDT has expanded its scale, recruited hundreds of more workers, bringing the total number of employees to more than 2,600, with an average income of nearly VND 10 million/person/month.

Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang, General Director of TDT, said: We consider customers as partners in the supply chain, so we are always proactive in sharing costs and supporting them when they encounter difficulties. This is also a way to build long-term trust, aiming for higher value orders when the market recovers. Currently, TDT is making efforts to expand market share in markets such as Europe, Japan, etc. to compensate for difficulties caused by trade barriers in the US market.

Not only investing in expanding the market, the company also focuses on technological innovation. Mr. Duong Van An, a technician at TDT, shared: Thanks to investing in automatic machines, the fabric cutting process, which previously required 5 people, now only needs 1 person to operate. Productivity has increased many times, product quality is also more consistent and accurate. This is a very effective transformation.

Not only large enterprises, small and medium enterprises in the garment sector of Thai Nguyen also recorded positive signs of recovery. Ha Son Export Garment Fashion Joint Stock Company achieved revenue of more than 64 billion VND in the first 6 months of the year, completing over 50% of the yearly plan and growing about 30% compared to the same period in 2024.

Mr. Le Xuan Trang, Director of Ha Son Fashion Export Joint Stock Company, said: Our orders have been signed until the end of October 2025. Not only has the quantity increased, but the value of the orders is also higher than last year. The main export markets are the US and Australia, and the company is currently negotiating additional orders until the end of the year.

In the first 6 months of 2025, Thai Nguyen's garment output increased by about 11%, with export turnover reaching 274 million USD, up 6.2% over the same period. The industry continues to play a role as one of the main pillars in the export growth of the local economic sector.

Vice President of the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), Mr. Hoang Quang Phong, commented: Thai Nguyen's garment industry is not only a bright spot in exports but also clearly demonstrates its ability to adapt to global fluctuations. While many domestic enterprises are facing difficulties in terms of orders and costs, positive recovery signals in Thai Nguyen show that there is still a lot of room for growth - especially in the context of the locality expanding its development space and having an abundant labor force.

In addition to the internal efforts of enterprises, favorable conditions from the locality such as abundant labor resources, increasingly complete industrial park infrastructure, clean land fund ready to attract investment... are also opening up new development space for the garment industry. This is an important factor contributing to the implementation of the goal of industrial development, promoting exports and attracting investment in Thai Nguyen in the new period.
