Samsung Electronics announced a $1.5 billion (≈39 trillion dong) investment to build its first semiconductor testing facility in Vietnam.
Construction has commenced at an industrial park in Thai Nguyen province, about 60 km north of Hanoi, with commercial operations slated for November 2027.
The plant will focus on testing legacy DRAM and NAND memory chips, targeting annual testing capacities of 153.3 billion gigabits of DRAM and 255.6 billion gigabits of NAND.
Vietnam approved the project in March 2026; Samsung may use profits to fund a second factory valued up to $2.5 billion.
The investment underscores Vietnam’s growing role as a semiconductor back‑end hub, alongside existing facilities from Intel and Amkor Technology.
