VinFast inaugurates electric vehicle plant in Hà Tĩnh
HÀ TĨNH, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 June 2025 - VinFast has officially inaugurated its electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in Hà Tĩnh, located in the Vũng Áng Economic Zone, less than seven months after construction began. Spanning 360,000 square meters and with a designed capacity of 200,000 vehicles per year, this marks VinFast's fifth manufacturing facility worldwide, highlighting the Vietnamese brand's remarkable execution speed and strong industrial capabilities. The inauguration ceremony of the VinFast Hà Tĩnh EV manufacturing plant was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Chí Dũng, along with senior current and former leaders of the Party, the Government, and Hà Tĩnh Province. The Hà Tĩnh plant is VinFast's second EV manufacturing site to officially go into production, and the fifth project within the company's developing global production network. With construction and equipment installation completed in under seven months, VinFast Hà Tĩnh is one of the fastest-built automobile factories in the world to date. The factory covers a total area of 360,000 square meters and includes key workshops such as the Body Welding Shop, Painting Shop, General Assembly Shop, a Logistics Warehouse, and a Quality Control Center. In addition, a 240,000-square-meter auxiliary cluster is under construction, with plans for further expansion in the coming years. VinFast Hà Tĩnh is equipped with one of Southeast Asia's most advanced and highly automated production lines, featuring state-of-the-art technologies from leading global partners such as ABB, DÜRR, FANUC, and SIEMENS. All manufacturing processes strictly comply with international standards including ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems), and IATF 16949 (Automotive Quality Management Systems). In its initial phase, the plant has a design capacity of approximately 200,000 vehicles per year, with an average output of 35 vehicles per hour. Future plans include expanding capacity to meet growing market demand. To optimize production lines during the early stages, the Hà Tĩnh plant will focus on compact urban EV models such as the VF 3, Minio Green, EC Van, and several upcoming models currently in development. Vehicles produced at the plant will serve both the domestic market and international exports. The facility is expected to create approximately 6,000 direct jobs in its initial phase, with the potential to expand its workforce to 15,000 in the future, supporting local employment and contributing to the region's socioeconomic development. Additionally, the presence of VinFast Hà Tĩnh is expected to attract auxiliary partners to set up operations in the industrial zone, creating a synchronized supply chain and advancing the goal of reaching over 80% localization in electric vehicle production by 2026. Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Võ Trọng Hải, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Hà Tĩnh Provincial People's Committee, congratulated VinFast and praised the important role and contributions of the VinFast Hà Tĩnh plant to the province's economic and social development. 'The Hà Tĩnh provincial leadership is committed to working closely with Vingroup and investors to create the most favorable conditions and swiftly resolve any difficulties, ensuring smooth investment and business operations. We firmly believe that with Vingroup's strong financial resources, experience, capabilities, and determination, along with the support and consensus of the local people and the close cooperation of the provincial authorities, this site will soon become a modern, environmentally friendly automotive industrial complex that drives Hà Tĩnh's sustainable economic growth,' Chairman Võ Trọng Hải said. Mr. Nguyễn Việt Quang, Vice Chairman and CEO of Vingroup, said: 'The inauguration of the VinFast Hà Tĩnh plant marks a significant milestone in VinFast's long-term development strategy and its global production expansion. Once operational, this facility will help VinFast move closer to its goal of producing one million vehicles per year to meet growing demand in both domestic and international markets. It also demonstrates our technological capability, production autonomy, and pioneering vision in promoting sustainable mobility in Vietnam and around the world'. In the first five months of 2025, VinFast has become the top-selling auto brand in Vietnam, delivering over 56,000 vehicles. The VF 3, VF 5, and VF 6 models have been among the bestsellers. VinFast EVs are also gaining traction in international markets such as the Philippines and Indonesia. VinFast currently has five manufacturing facilities in development across Vietnam, the United States, India, and Indonesia. In addition to the two operational plants in Vietnam (VinFast Hải Phòng and VinFast Hà Tĩnh), the facilities in India and Indonesia are expected to be inaugurated soon to meet demand in strategic international markets.

Future of ISO Certification in Pakistan
As Pakistan's economy continues to evolve and integrate with global markets, the role of ISO certification is becoming increasingly significant. In 2025, businesses across industries are not only embracing ISO standards to meet compliance requirements but also using them as strategic tools for growth, innovation, and sustainability. This article explores the future of ISO certification in Pakistan, emerging trends, and key opportunities for businesses aiming to stay competitive and globally relevant. Traditionally, ISO certification in Pakistan was mostly sought after by large corporations or exporters. However, 2025 is witnessing a shift—small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, construction, food, IT, and textiles are actively pursuing certifications like ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety). This growing demand is driven by an increased focus on customer trust, supply chain requirements, and regulatory compliance. With Pakistan facing growing environmental challenges, certifications like ISO 14001 are gaining traction. In 2025, more companies are aligning their operations with environmental standards to reduce their carbon footprint, manage waste responsibly, and support sustainability goals. This trend is particularly strong in sectors like manufacturing, chemicals, and textiles. One of the major developments shaping the future of ISO certification is digitalization. Online training, cloud-based documentation, and virtual audits are now becoming standard practice. These digital tools are helping businesses streamline the certification process, improve record-keeping, and reduce costs. In 2025, AI-driven compliance tools and data analytics will further simplify how companies monitor performance against ISO standards. Global buyers now expect their suppliers to be ISO certified. Pakistani businesses aiming to participate in international supply chains are increasingly pursuing ISO certification to demonstrate credibility, efficiency, and quality assurance. This trend is opening doors for local businesses to enter foreign markets, particularly in the Middle East, Europe, and North America. As demand for ISO certification grows, so does the need for experienced consultants, auditors, and trainers. In 2025, there are significant opportunities for professionals who can guide companies through the certification process, help implement ISO management systems, and deliver training programs. The future of ISO certification in Pakistan is filled with potential. From enabling sustainable practices to supporting digital transformation and global competitiveness, ISO standards are becoming vital for business success. Companies that invest in certification now will not only ensure compliance but also position themselves as leaders in their industries. Looking to future-proof your business?
