Case Studies
Our case studies cover some of the products our Asia Import Platform customers have developed in recent years.
Electronics is Vietnam’s top export category, largely thanks to large facilities operated by Samsung and other major electronics brands. That said, its domestic OEM electronics manufacturing base – open to all buyers – is booming in the country.
While it’s still far away from being comparable to Shenzhen, electronics manufacturers in Vietnam offer an alternative to companies looking beyond China for their next manufacturing project.
Most electronics manufacturers in Vietnam are Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) companies. To put it simply, an EMS provides outsourced production facilities, labor, and procurement services for international customers.
Some EMS companies may also offer engineering and prototype development services.
That said, EMS companies don’t develop their own ODM products. Instead, they expect the buyer to provide a complete technical specification.
We can help you manufacture products in China, Vietnam & India?
Electronic Manufacturing Service companies assemble products based on the technical specifications provided by the buyer. They don’t operate as incubators or product development companies.
These files must be included in your technical specification:

Hi Fredrik
This is Michael from Winstar Display Taiwan. We manufacture PM OLED, STN, TFT and also do system integration. We are interested in working with EMS in Vietnam. Will highly appreciate if you can introduce or recommend me some of the good EMS that looking for quality display.
Hi Michael,
I cannot make any specific recommendation as we are not affiliated with any of the companies on this list. I suggest you contact them one by one.
Hi Fredrik,
I’m Sourcing for an European company in Telecom. I’m looking for manufacturers in Vietnam, Thailand or Philippines who are capable of producing Telecom (specifically Radio – Base Station) components. Please help to connect.
Thanks
Hi Hong,
Please send an email to fredrik@chinaimportal.com

The mail sent to you has been blocked,
We are specialized in design, production, and sales of semiconductor adhesive, electronic adhesive and thermal conductive materials.
Could you introduce some of the EMS in Vietnam?
Thanks
Hi Joyee,
Blocked? I’m not sure what you mean.
Hi, please contact me +84976842606, quantm7@viettel.com.vn We can produce these products for you.
Thank you so much!
Fredrik,
thanks for the nice write up and information provided.
I also read through the questions and comments of others on this blog.
So my questions might be repetitive but I want to make sure I got this right.
While I agree that the area between Shenzhen and Guangzhou is very versatile and well prepared for any type of production – the current political climate and trade disputes happening are making many companies look for other options.
While the expectation is not to get product R&D in Vietnam, I’m simply looking for a partner to manufacturer and deliver a final tested product. I actually reached out to some of the companies mentioned in the write-up but got no answer back – not even a no thank you.
I do have contact into Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia yet some of our end customers have the desire to to get product made in Vietnam. They are willing to support the supply chain to make sure necessary parts are available.
Any thoughts on this approach ?
Thanx
Frank

Hi Frederick,
I currently have my metal core PCBs manufactured in the US. They are long narrow boards that contain mostly high power LEDs. I am considering have them made overseas but I am afraid to go to China due to the flagrant disrespect for intellectual property there. I have heard good things about Viet Nam companies with respect to protecting IP. Can you tell me if there are any EMS firms that have capabilities with MCPCBs? with LED boards?
My lights are relatively simple to assemble. Are there firms that could do the contract manufacturing assembly as well?
you can sign confidentiality agreement with China Factory.
Hi Rob,
Our factory is specialized in manufacturing LED lighting. We locate in the North of Vietnam.

Could you please send your inquiry via email

Hi Fredrik,
I want to just summarize the above and make sure I understand. You feel that going to Vietnam to product an item we have designed isn’t the best option whereas this has been how China has been excellent over the years. If we have been producing with a number of factories in China, you feel transferring to Vietnam is not the same experience (of course it will be different) but just want to make sure.
Hi Mike,
Vietnam can be an option if you setup your own factory there. But the ecosystem of existing electronics suppliers that you find in Shenzhen and Dongguan simply doesn’t exist in Vietnam at this point in time.
Good morning !! Can somebody tell me if in Vietnam are made navigation auto ?
Navigation auto?
Yes , car navigation . I want to change my navigation car , and i,m interest to buy one NOT CHINA MADE !! Can you tell me a site online ? Regards!!
Hi Sorin,
I don’t think you will find any website with Vietnam made car navigation systems.
Hello Fedrick,
Are there any manufacturers in Vietnam who will be able to manufacture Food Blenders?
Hi San,
There are many electronics factories in Vietnam, but the question is whether you’ll find a supplier offering food blenders as an ODM product. That is less likely.
Vietnam works better for companies setting up their own factories.
Hello Fredrik,
Thank you very much for the useful article.
I have an off-topic inquiry, which I hope you would pardon me for Posting it here. Do you know or have a list of German industrial machines manufacturers, who have Vietnamese clients? Our company is looking for those company as potential customers for our company also produce PCB in Asia.
I’d appriciate if you could reply to me via my e-mail address.
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Andi Ziegner
Hello Andi,
No, we don’t have any such list.
However, you should consider attending a trade show in Vietnam such as NEPCON. I’ve been to trade shows in HCMC and seen German machinery brands there.
Who are the best electronic companies, brands in Vietnam for table fans, mixture blenders, rice cookers etc. Other house hold items as well.
Any electronic trade fairs in Vietnam recently.
There’s this one: https://www.nepconvietnam.com/
However, it starts in September this year.
Hi Fredrick,
I just went through the list above, it seems most of them are PCB manufacturers. Do you have complete audio products manufacturers to be introduced to us. We are looking for some OEM manufacturers who are willing to work with us as long term partner.
Please contact to my personal email.
Best regards,
Kent YAM
Hello Kent,
Yes, that is correct. Electronics is Vietnam’s top export, but that’s products made by Samsung and LG. Vietnam doesn’t have the ecosystem of OEM and ODM electronics factories that anyone can buy from.
Your only option is to open your own factory in Vietnam. You will not find factories designing and producing audio products for others to add their label.
Hello Fredrik:
I just listened to your excellent presentation. I am not ready to sign up just yet as we are still in Prototype stage. Can you share the equivalent writeup for China and India for Electronic Manufactures. Thank you.
As well, can you advise Quality Inspection companies who are recognized by North America and Europe but are based in China? They are extremely expensive here and hoping, since we intent to manufacture in China, that they would be more reasonable. (In Canada, we have CSV and UL, for example. In Europe, this would be the CE mark of course.) Thank you for your help!
Hi Kumar,
Thank you!
I think you are really need is a testing company, not a quality inspection company. You can try to contact Bureau Veritas or Intertek.
Hi Sir,
Do you know any manufacturers sources for Lithium Batteries?
And any Electronics / Home Appliance products exhibitions in Vietnam?
We would like to know more.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Glenys,
No, I don’t that exists. At least not OEM or private label suppliers.
