Canon expands business in
Vietnam
HANOI - Japan's
Canon, with products on sale in Vietnam since the
1980s, has established a foothold in Vietnam, with
a jet printer factory in Hanoi and Canon
representative offices in Ho Chi Minh City and
Hanoi opening over the past two years. They employ
2,000 workers.
Through these enterprises,
Canon can effectively support its product
distribution network and provide its partners with
complete knowledge on its products and services.
The two Canon offices in Vietnam operate
with support from Canon Singapore, the company's
Head Office for Southern and Southeast Asia.
Canon's jet printer factory, put into
operation in Thang Long IZ, Hanoi, in May, 2002,
is one of 18 factories built in Asia by the
company, not including Japan.
Canon
Vietnam now supplies 17% of jet printers in the
world market.
The factory is the biggest
exporter in Hanoi with its exports representing
53% of the total export output of the foreign
investment sector.
It has provided jet
printers for the domestic market and foreign
markets in other Asian countries, Europe and the
US.
Hideki Oawa, Director of Canon
Singapore, said Canon decided to build the factory
in Vietnam because Vietnam has a young and
industrious workforce, a great potential for
development, and the nation makes fast progress in
technology.
Canon considers Vietnam to be
an important main market in the coming years, he
added.
In the past seven months, Canon has
taken two directions in promoting its investment
in Vietnam, expanding its facilities in the Thang
Long IZ in Hanoi and building a laser printer
factory in Que Vo district, northern Bac Ninh
province, the biggest project in the world
entrusted by Canon to a Vietnamese partner.
In Vietnam, Canon has obtained higher
growth than in any other Asian country, thus
proving the quality of its products, Oawa
stressed.
He said Canon will consider Viet
Nam a production center in the future and will
continue to increase production and improve
products made in Vietnam.
Canon also
pledged to improve personnel training, from
workers to managers.
