To meet the market demand, Viglacera invested in the production of super-white glass through a joint venture
On the morning of July 24, 2017, at Phu My II Industrial Zone, Tan Thanh District, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, Phu My Super White Float Glass Co., Ltd held the Ground Breaking Ceremony of super white float glass factory. Capacity of 600 tons / day (phase 1) and total investment of over VND2,423 billion.
Mr. Do Viet Phuong - General Director of Phu My Super - White Float Glass Co., Ltd. summarized implementation process.
Project factory float glass ultra white is invested by "three big" were:Viglacera Corporation - JSC (Viglacera), Company Group technical science Khai Thinh (CTIEC, China) and Investment in urban and industrial development in Vietnam Corporation (IDICO). It is expected that after 18 months, the company's super-white float glass products will be issued to the market with ultra-white floating glass products, high quality glass construction, thickness from 3-19mm, suitable for domestic market requirements. and export to produce solar cells.
Perspective of Phu My Floating Glass Factory
The government has planned for the glass industry and Investment in developing conventional glasses will be limited, focusing only high quality glass products, especially high value added such as glass. Energy saving, glasses for solar batteries. Based on the 6.5-7% growth forecast for glass construction, the demand for construction glass in Vietnam will reach about 165 million m2 per year by 2020.
Currently, Vietnam only has Float VGI glass factory of Nippon Float Glass Company - Japan producing super-white glass for export completely. Vietnam has no second super white float glass production line. Therefore, Vietnam's demand for the construction of high-quality super-quality float glass production lines is really necessary and urgent.
Besides, solar power is becoming a growing industry. Currently, although the solar battery in Vietnam is still in the early stages of development. But when Vietnam joins free trade agreements, along with government incentives for high-tech and renewable energy products. There are many investors to develop solar module assembly in Vietnam. This is an opportunity to develop the production of products that make up the solar cell module including super-white glass.
Actually, in Bac Giang, in 2014 and 2015, there are two companies assembling solar modules, with the demand for super white glass about 15 million m2 per year, namely: Vina Co., Ltd. Solar Vietnam (Van Trung Industrial Park - Viet Yen), invested $ 60 million, with a capacity of 10 million products per year, equivalent to a white light bridge of about 12 million square meters per year. BOVIET Solar Power (Song Khe - Noi Hoang Industrial Park), invested $ 50 million, with current demand for super white glass at 4 million square meters per year.
Vietnam has a competitive advantage compared to the ultra-white glass manufacturers in China due to tax incentives for export to countries in South East Asia. Moreover, with the participation of upcoming free trade agreements, Vietnam not only exports to solar cell manufacturing corporations in Southeast Asia, but also exports directly to manufacturing corporations. solar cells in potential markets such as USA, Japan, Australia, ...
Silicon sand is available in Cam Ranh (Khanh Hoa) with a mining reserve of 5.2 million tons, a current output of 26,000 tons per month, and the provision of raw materials for the production of super-white float glass is also a strength of the project.
The factory of Phu My Superish White Float Glass Co., Ltd is located in a convenient location for transportation and infrastructure.
To the north of this industrial park is Phu My I industrial zone; East of the line is 965; The South is Cai Mep Industrial Park; The West is Ba Son Shipyard and Thi Vai Port. The factory is located 75 km from Ho Chi Minh City and Tan Son Nhat Airport, 50 km from Bien Hoa Railway Station.
The western and northern areas of the plant are planned roads, the east and the south are rivers, the south has conditions to build and develop the port of transportation later. Power supply by the national electricity network of Tan Thanh, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province electricity supply management to the fence of the factory; Water supplied by the underground water supply plant connects to the factory fence; The wastewater treatment plant has been built to meet the sewerage requirements of the plant.
Mr. Do Viet Phuong - General Director of Phu My Superishel Glass Co., Ltd said that during the construction and production process, the project will apply effective environmental protection measures to ensure All types of wastes meet the standards of waste discharge according to regulations, do not cause harm to the surrounding environment. After implementing this project, creating jobs for more than 300 laborers, creating more relevant trades in the local area to develop and benefit the society.
