Factory Setup in Vietnam
From industrial park selection to first production
Setting up a factory in Vietnam involves more than registering a company. Land, environmental, fire safety and construction approvals all need to be in place before production starts. MSC coordinates factory setup in Vietnam for foreign manufacturers, from choosing an industrial park to the permits needed for operation.
Our services include:
-
Location and lease: Shortlisting industrial parks by sector, logistics and incentives, and reviewing land or ready-built factory lease terms.
-
Investment licensing: IRC and ERC for the manufacturing project, including investment incentives where your project qualifies.
-
Environmental permits: Environmental impact assessment or environmental license, depending on your project's scale and sector.
-
Fire safety and construction: Fire prevention design approval and acceptance, and construction or renovation permits where required.
-
Production setup: Export processing or processing status with customs, import of machinery and labor registration for local and foreign staff.
The order of approvals affects how fast you can start production. We plan each step around your timeline and coordinate with licensed engineering, environmental and legal partners where needed. See also: A 2027 Guide to Manufacturing in Vietnam.
