(Dan Tri) – Köcher has broken ground on its second kitchen appliance manufacturing plant in Phu Son Industrial Park, covering an area of 25,000m², marking a step forward in its investment strategy aimed at meeting international standards and expanding into the global market.
Köcher recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for its second kitchen appliance manufacturing plant in Phu Son Industrial Park (IP). The project spans 25,000m² and is aimed at becoming a production center for key kitchen appliance lines such as induction hobs, kitchen hoods, dishwashers, and related products.
The investment in building the plant is a strategic move in the company’s development journey, aimed at enhancing production capacity while becoming more proactive in the supply chain and controlling product quality in an increasingly competitive kitchen appliance market.
The project is being implemented in Phu Son IP – an industrial park covering approximately 214ha, planned with a focus on modern industrial development, integrating environmental standards and sustainable development.
With synchronized infrastructure, Phu Son IP is assessed as suitable for production projects aiming for international standards, especially as companies increasingly emphasize ESG factors and export capabilities.
In the context of increasing demand for high-quality kitchen appliance products, investing in production capacity not only helps the company enhance its supply capabilities but also plays a crucial role in controlling product quality and optimizing operational costs.
The highlight of this plant project lies in the orientation of integrating technology and international standards right from the construction phase. This step shows that the company is not only focused on scaling up but also aims to comprehensively improve production quality.
Previously, Köcher announced an elevation of collaboration with European technology partners, including EuroKera and EGO. The groundbreaking of the plant is the next step to realize these strategic partnerships, bringing technology and international standards into production in Vietnam.
In this partnership, EuroKera not only plays a role in supplying components but also directly participates in the testing and quality control process of the products. The involvement of this partner contributes to ensuring that technical standards are maintained throughout the production process, from raw materials to finished products.
Alongside this, the production system at the plant is also being invested in synchronously. The production equipment system at the plant is provided by Schuler Group (Germany), contributing to ensuring technology standards and operational efficiency during the production process.
The combination of production technology and quality control systems is expected to create a solid foundation for enhancing product quality and optimizing operational processes in the long term.
According to the plan, in the upcoming phase, Köcher’s induction hob product lines will continue to be evaluated and monitored by an international R&D engineering team during the production process at the plant. This is one of the important factors to ensure that products meet the technical and quality standards in the kitchen appliance industry.
The operation of the second plant not only helps the company enhance its production capacity but also opens up new development opportunities in accessing international markets. In the context of an increasingly evident globalization trend, having a standard production platform is seen as a prerequisite for the company to participate more deeply in the global value chain.
With a modern production foundation and an international cooperation ecosystem, Köcher’s products are fully oriented to meet international standards, ready to expand into the global market.
The groundbreaking of this plant not only signifies an expansion of production scale but also reflects the company’s long-term vision in building a sustainable production foundation, contributing to enhancing the position of the kitchen appliance industry manufactured in Vietnam in the international market.
