Topband Vietnam Facility Sets New Benchmark
Strategically located in Southeast Asia with proximity to China and access to major trade agreements like RCEP and CPTPP, Vietnam offers a compelling combination of export convenience, skilled labor, and cost advantages. Within this environment, our Vietnam facility plays a critical role in expanding capacity and enhancing global delivery capabilities.
Based on Chinese mature manufacturing systems and local operational advantages, the Vietnam facility has established a modern, highly automated, and digitalized production system. With 20 automated lines and MES deployed across nearly 30 lines, the facility enables full-process traceability, real-time material tracking, and rapid exception alerts. Smart production standards ensure seamless alignment with Topband's China operations.
To guarantee quality, the facility is equipped with advanced systems such as 3D AOI, vacuum reflow soldering, selective wave soldering, and automated optical screening. Quality data is uploaded in real time to form a closed-loop system, keeping defect rates below 0.2%. Two standardized labs and full-spectrum inspection processes (IQC, IPQC, FQC, OQC) reinforce our commitment to consistent, high-standard output—regardless of production location.
Flexible manufacturing is another key differentiator of Topband Vietnam facility. Modular, compact, and diversified production lines enable small-scale trial runs and rapid new product introductions to meet global customer demands. For standard orders, the Vietnam facility enables full-process order fulfillment within 30 days. It also features a mature production transfer mechanism, enabling seamless transitions from other plants to Vietnam facility.
Topband believes lean mindset supports long-term efficiency. The Vietnam facility has established a lean production team to continuously identify efficiency improvement opportunities, and a rapid response team to ensure closed-loop management of customer feedback and complaints. Recognized for its consistent performance, the facility has been awarded "Top Supplier" status by major global clients for five consecutive years.
Looking ahead, a 75,000㎡ expansion will be operational by March 2026, targeting an annual output of approximately USD 556 million. The goal of the Topband Vietnam facility is to become a regional benchmark factory that integrates cost advantage, high-quality output, and global delivery capability—steadfastly positioning itself as a trusted intelligent manufacturing partner for customers worldwide through reliable and high-standard production capacity.
