Every decision to expand global manufacturing capacity is a strategic calculation of speed versus profitability. In the electronics components sector, are complex logistical barriers currently eroding your competitive advantage? This is the core question that visionary leaders like JUKI and MOMENTUM have successfully overcome by selecting a location that has built operational trust for over three decades.
The key lies in identifying a production hub that can set up a top-tier automated assembly and quality control while minimizing logistics turn around time. This unmatched synergy is precisely why Tan Thuan Zone (“TTZ”), in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, has become an indispensable strategic anchor.
Global success stories in electronic components
Over the past three decades, TTZ has become a strategic base for numerous leading global electronics corporations. Among them, JUKI from Japan and MOMENTUM from Hong Kong stand out with impressive achievements that reflect the strength and reliability of TTZ’s industrial ecosystem.
JUKI (Japan): Achievements of the Industrial Giant at Tan Thuan
JUKI was among the pioneering investors that chose Tan Thuan in 1995, during the early years when Vietnam began opening its doors to international capital. This decision reflected the company’s long-term vision and strong confidence in Ho Chi Minh City’s investment environment.

After nearly 30 years of operation, JUKI has maintained remarkable stability while continuously expanding its scale. The group now operates four specialized manufacturing facilities within TTZ, each equipped with advanced production lines that strictly adhere to Japanese technical standards.
JUKI’s facility in the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone focuses on precision mechanics, producing high-accuracy metal components for its industrial machinery. The plant operates with careful machining and finishing processes, enhancing production capabilities and reinforcing the strategic role of Tan Thuan within JUKI’s global supply chain.
The company’s long-term success demonstrates TTZ’s role as a trusted manufacturing base, providing stable infrastructure, reliable power supply, high-speed telecommunications, and an integrated logistics network, all enabling enterprises to achieve maximum operational efficiency.
Momentum Industrial (Vietnam): Achievements in speed and advanced technology
Momentum Industrial, a Hong Kong-based enterprise, has rapidly expanded its operations in Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone. It houses 1,200 staff and operates multiple automated SMT production lines built to international standards. Its first factory covers 8164,16m2 and is equipped to produce a diverse range of products across telecommunications, AIoT, home automation, healthcare devices, and industrial applications.
This impressive growth stems from the flexibility and efficiency of Momentum Industrial’s Ready-Built Factory (RBF) system at Tan Thuan. The standardized infrastructure and fully integrated facilities enable Momentum Industrial to establish large-scale production swiftly while maintaining the highest technical precision.
A key highlight of Momentum Industrial’s strategy is its focus on components for future technologies such as AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things), Home Automation, and Medical Devices. Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone has proven its ability to meet the demanding requirements of these high-tech industries, serving as a strategic launchpad for global expansion.

Although Juki and Momentum Industrial have different approaches, they share a common foundation: their success is built upon the solid platform established by TTZ. Juki has thrived through stability and technical depth, while Momentum Industrial has advanced through speed and technological innovation. Both have been empowered by TTZ’s modern industrial environment, comprehensive logistics system, and highly skilled workforce.
Competitive advantages for electronics manufacturing at TTZ
Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone offers a range of operational benefits that directly enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and support sustainable growth for electronics manufacturers.
Comprehensive infrastructure is ready for high-tech manufacturing
The infrastructure at TTZ has been systematically developed, the zone is powered by a stable electricity supply of up to 120 MW, enabling factories and automated production lines to operate. Complementing this is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that provides fast, reliable data connectivity across factories, offices, and research centers.

Notably, TTZ is home to the FPT Telecom Data Center, certified to Uptime Tier III standards. This demonstrates not only the zone’s commitment to sustainable energy reliability but also its robust digital backbone that supports R&D activities, SMT production lines, clean rooms, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Through the integration of a stable power network, advanced telecommunications, Tan Thuan is emerging as a trusted destination for high-tech enterprises seeking to expand their footprint in Vietnam.
Environmental infrastructure and smart energy management
Beyond manufacturing infrastructure, TTZ) has invested significantly in sustainable environmental and energy solutions. The zone features a centralized wastewater treatment plant, employing biological treatment technology to contribute to environmental safety before discharge.
Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone operates a centralized wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of approximately 15,000 m³/day, utilizing biological, chemical, and physical treatment processes to ensure water quality before discharge. Companies within the zone are required to pre-treat wastewater to meet Column B standards before discharging it into the centralized system. TTZ also conducts automated wastewater monitoring and periodic environmental inspections to ensure regulatory compliance.
In November 2023, TTZ was recognized in the “For National Green Environment 2023” program, demonstrating its efforts toward environmental protection and sustainable development.
Logistics and export connectivity
The greatest advantage of TTZ lies in its strategic location in the heart of South Saigon, enabling electronics manufacturers to optimize both time and transportation costs. It takes approximately 25 minutes to reach Cat Lai Port – the largest international container port in Vietnam, 20 - 30 minutes to VICT Port (Nha Be) and Ben Nghe Port, and 45 minutes to Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
The Nguyen Van Linh and Nguyen Tat Thanh roads provide direct access to key arterial routes, facilitating the import and export of goods and the transport of precision components.
