The firm’s hi-tech glass project, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, is capable of manufacturing 5 million sqm of glass annually.
It includes two phases. In the first phase, a production line with an annual capacity of 2.3 million sqm of glass is based at Tan Dong Hiep Industrial Park in Di An town, Binh Duong.
