The Prime Minister of the Government approved, through Decision No. 1107/QD-TTg on August 21, 2006, the Song Cong II Industrial Park (also known as Sông Công 2 Industrial Park) in the planned establishment of industrial parks by 2015. The estimated planned area for the park is 250 hectares.
In March 2017, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc endorsed the investment policy for the infrastructure development of Song Cong II Industrial Park in Sông Công City, Thai Nguyen Province. The investor responsible for constructing the industrial park’s infrastructure is the Thai Nguyen Province Industrial Park Infrastructure Development Company. The infrastructure construction of Song Cong 2 Industrial Park is closely connected to a resettlement project and the building of a 36-meter road linking the park to the former National Highway 3 and Song Cong intersection. The industrial park covers a total area of 250 hectares. This project holds significant importance for the province as it aims to progressively enhance and upgrade the quality of investment attraction, ultimately transforming Thái Nguyên into a modern industrial province.
On January 29, 2021, the Prime Minister approved an additional 300 hectares for the second phase of Song Cong II Industrial Park, incorporating it into the industrial park planning of Thai Nguyen Province. Currently, detailed planning for Song Cong II Industrial Park – phase 2 is underway to align with the prevailing social conditions in the area.
Attracting investment
Song Cong II Industrial Park has attracted over $1.2 billion in investment for its 250-hectare industrial land area. Various operational projects, including factories, drive industrial development and economic growth in Song Cong City and Thai Nguyen Province.
The projects primarily focus on manufacturing sectors such as machinery, mechanical engineering, automobile assembly, and electronics. Annually, these projects generate over $2 billion in export revenue and over $1.6 billion in import revenue, create 30,000 new jobs, and contribute approximately 1 trillion Vietnamese dong to the budget.
Currently investing in Song Cong II Industrial Park
Song Cong II Industrial Park has completed its industrial infrastructure and leased approximately 90% of its land area. Notable projects, such as DONGWHA Vietnam’s wood production and Korea Electric Terminal’s electronic component manufacturing, have been established within the park. Kim Tin – Song Cong Joint Stock Company has also constructed warehouses and workshops for rent. The operational phase includes DONGWHA Vietnam’s factory. Currently, the authorities in Thai Nguyen Province are finalizing the necessary documentation for the detailed planning and approval of the remaining area in Song Cong II Industrial Park’s phase 2.
