Hong Kong-based Crystal Group’s Vietnamese operations have played host to a rapidly-developing production base. The Group’s T-shirt factory in Vietnam celebrated the opening of two huge production blocks in a new industrial zone last year. This extension will continue to expand and occupy a total land area of 33 hectares by 2019, contributing to a threefold increase in production capacity and an 80 per cent increase in employment for the entire Vietnam T-shirt division. Other expansion projects are also underway – the country’s sweater division is planning to relocate and expand, aiming for a seven-fold increase in production in four years’ time. The Group is also adding value-added processes like embroidery and washing to its facilities to enhance efficiency and eliminate the time taken to source these services, as well as improving its capabilities and ensuring robust quality control.
