Taihan VINA Breaks Ground on Vietnam’s First 400kV Extra-High Voltage Cable Plant
- Construction of new plant in Long Thanh Industrial Zone, Dong Nai Province… Full-scale operations targeted for 2027
- Taihan’s first overseas EHV production base to be fostered as a key global strategic hub
- Groundbreaking ceremony on the 11th attended by Dong Nai provincial officials and leading industry representatives
Taihan has commenced construction of an extra-high voltage (EHV) cable manufacturing plant in Vietnam.
On the 12th, Taihan announced that Taihan Cable VINA (TAIHAN CABLE VINA), its Vietnamese manufacturing subsidiary, has broken ground on a new 400kV-class EHV cable plant in Dong Nai Province in southern Vietnam. This facility will serve as Taihan’s first overseas production base for extra-high voltage cables and forms part of its strategy to respond to expanding global power grid investments and strengthen its overseas manufacturing footprint.
The new plant will be built on a site of approximately 56,200 square meters (approx. 17,000 pyeong) within the Long Thanh Industrial Zone in Dong Nai Province, where Taihan VINA’s existing plant is located, with operations scheduled to commence in 2027. Through this investment, Taihan VINA will expand its EHV cable production capacity and enhance its responsiveness not only to Southeast Asia but also to global markets including Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. Upon completion, Taihan VINA will become the only company in Vietnam capable of manufacturing 400kV-class extra-high voltage cables.
On the 11th (local time), Taihan VINA held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new EHV cable plant at its Dong Nai facility. Approximately 150 attendees were present. The ceremony began with a traditional Vietnamese lion dance and drum performance, followed by welcome remarks, a commemorative video presentation, and a ceremonial groundbreaking performance. Participants celebrated Taihan VINA’s new leap forward while wishing for the project’s safe and successful completion.
In his welcoming remarks, Joon-seok Kim, Executive Vice President of Taihan, stated, “Over the past 20 years, Taihan VINA has served as a core production base driving Taihan’s overseas business growth, built upon accumulated manufacturing expertise and strong quality competitiveness. With the construction of this new plant, we will contribute to the advancement of Vietnam’s power grid while playing a leading role in the global energy infrastructure market.”
Vietnam’s power demand is rapidly increasing due to accelerated industrialization and is projected to grow at an average annual rate of approximately 10–12% through 2030. In particular, large-scale new projects are planned to establish transmission networks of 220kV and above, indicating that the construction of this new plant is expected to serve as a key infrastructure asset in meeting growing market demand.
Established in 2005, Taihan VINA is one of Vietnam’s leading cable manufacturers, producing high-voltage (HV), medium- and low-voltage (MV/LV) power cables, as well as overhead conductors. Taihan Cable & Solution plans to further develop Taihan VINA into a second global production hub alongside its Dangjin Cable Plant in Korea through continued facility expansion and technological investment, thereby proactively addressing growing demand in the global cable market.
