The efforts and positive development of the industrial park have importantly contributed to building local business environment and socioeconomic development.
Impressive achievements
Rach Bap Industrial Park, established in 2008 and invested by An Dien Industry Joint Stock Company, covers an area of 278.6 ha in the first phase. Launched in a time of world financial crisis and economic recession, it was very hard to draw investment capital into industrial parks.
Mr. Tran Quoc Thai, General Director of An Dien Industry Joint Stock Company, said, “In 2008 - 2012, a very few customers rented land, usually very small in area. Besides, Rach Bap Industrial Park drew fierce competition from neighboring IPs which had more favorable factors in terms of geography, traffic, and industries.”
The world economy started to improve, by seizing good opportunities, An Dien Industry Joint Stock Company strengthened marketing and promotion and introduced more preferential policies. Besides, with positive support from local authorities, from Vietnam Rubber Industry Group and Dau Tieng Rubber Company, land occupancy in the industrial park started to improve.
With incentive policies, well-invested infrastructure, near input supply sources, abundant labor resources and no natural disasters such as floods, storms and earthquakes, many investors have come to Rach Bap Industrial Park, including big investors. Especially, in five years from 2015 to date, land renting in the industrial park has been very exciting.
Up to now, the first phase of the project has been filled 100%, housing 77 investment projects, including 22 domestic projects and 55 foreign projects, with a total registered investment of VND5,421 billion. Tenants are employing over 8,000 workers.
Complete and synchronized infrastructure

In particular, the internal traffic routes have been asphalted according to Vietnamese standards H18-H30. The power is supplied by the 22KV national grid and the water supply system, with a water supply plant with a daily capacity of 7,000 cubic meters in the first phase 1, meets TCVN standards. The wastewater treatment plant, with a daily processing capacity of 6,000 cubic meters, meets QCVN standards and the fire prevention and fighting system, information network, telecommunication services are also fully invested.
At the same time, An Dien Industry Joint Stock Company planned many infrastructure projects beside the industrial park, including management and operation area, trade center, product showrooms, post offices, banks, customs offices to support tenants’ production activities.
