Kstar Vietnam Factory Topped Off
Occupying an area of 47715 square meters, KSTAR's new Manufacturing-Base is located in Haiphong City, the biggest port city of Northern Vietnam. It is being built to expand the company's global manufacturing footprint and support long-term growth in the Asia-Pacific region. The project is being carried out in two phases.
Phase I, covering a construction area of 25,000 square meters is officially top off and the interior work of the building is currently underway. It will be completed in June and is expected to be put into operation after the completion of the procurement, installation and commissioning of production equipment by the end of 2022.
The new plant is projected to be able to produce 10,000 units of UPS, 1000 units of modular data center and 1 GW solar inverters annually. By then, 200 jobs will be available, generating important social and economic benefits during the epidemic.
Construction for the second phase is expected to begin in 2024. The new plant (phase II) is mainly used to produce energy storage system and EV charging pile products.
“We are happy to end the first quarter of 2022 with another milestone of KSTAR! Responding to KSTAR's rapid growth in the global market, this would be the first time we used factories in Vietnam to enhance production capacity. As one of the largest UPS manufacturers in the world, we have been working to meet our client's desire for more diverse production bases." Said Mr. Wang, the project leader of KSTAR.
According to previous statements of the company, KSTAR has been planning its Vietnam Manufacturing Plant since 2019. Upon completion, the manufacturing facility will be the company's sixth manufacturing base and the first in Vietnam.
“It will greatly meet oversea customers' delivery expectations, therefore, enhancing the company's competitive advantage in the industry." Said Mr. Wang.
