Localization of Industrial Equipment in Vietnam: An Inevitable Trend

55 Views

As Vietnam integrates more deeply into the global economy, the localization of industrial equipment has become a defining trend. It reduces dependence on imports, optimizes project costs, and strengthens domestic manufacturing. Among the pioneers, TOMECO has set a benchmark, delivering world-class industrial fans that meet local needs while reaching international markets.

Market Landscape and Localization Trend

Over the past decade, Vietnam has witnessed robust growth in industrial manufacturing. However, according to the General Department of Customs, billions of USD are still spent annually on importing mechanical equipment, machinery, and industrial fans. This dependence results in high costs, supply chain risks, and limited flexibility in project implementation.

The Government has repeatedly emphasized the importance of localizing industrial equipment as part of its development strategies – aimed at reducing imports, boosting domestic production, and strengthening national competitiveness. Lessons from Thailand and Malaysia show that when local businesses take control of equipment manufacturing, they not only cut costs but also gain a foundation to join global value chains.

In this context, TOMECO has emerged as a pioneer, providing high-quality industrial equipment capable of replacing imported goods and competing in international markets.

Economic and Technical Value of Localized Products

Currently, TOMECO has localized about 90% of spare parts; only about 10% of special details must be imported to complete industrial fan products.

Using locally manufactured mechanical products – particularly TOMECO’s industrial fans – offers significant advantages to contractors and investors:

  • Cost optimization: Saving 15–20% in initial investment compared to imports, while lowering operational costs.

  • Shorter lead time: Instead of 3–6 months for imports, TOMECO products can be delivered within 2–4 weeks.

  • Flexible design: Tailored solutions for industries such as cement, steel, firefighting, and environmental treatment.

  • After-sales service: 24/7 local technical support and timely spare parts supply.

TOMECO – A Symbol of Successful Localization

With over 32 years of development, TOMECO has become a leading brand in Vietnam’s industrial fan industry. Highlights include:

  • Twice awarded the National Quality Award, affirming commitment to quality and innovation.

  • Strong R&D capabilities: CFD aerodynamic simulation, IoT-based monitoring, advanced balancing technology.

  • End-to-end value chain: from research, design, and manufacturing to installation and maintenance.

  • Partnerships with global brands such as IGE (USA), Tongyang (Korea), ABB, and GE.

Case Study: Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant

At Hòa Bình Hydropower Plant, one of the largest in Southeast Asia, TOMECO’s centrifugal fans were chosen to replace imported Soviet-era systems. Results:

  • 20% efficiency improvement.

  • Annual savings of billions of VND in electricity costs.

  • Minimized technical failures, ensuring stable operation.

Beyond hydropower, TOMECO has delivered to cement, steel, transportation, healthcare, and commercial infrastructure projects—meeting the most stringent standards.
