The Vietnamese subsidiary of Taihan Cable & Solution has begun construction of its first 400 kV extra-high voltage (EHV) cable plant in Dong Nai province, southern Vietnam. This is a strategic project within the company’s global expansion, focused on strengthening its industrial capacity outside of South Korea.
New plant for 400 kV EHV cable manufacturing
The new facility will be built on an area of over 56,000 square meters in the Long Thanh industrial zone, adjacent to its current plant. It is expected to become operational in 2027 and will consolidate Taihan VINA as the only manufacturer in Vietnam capable of producing 400 kV EHV cables, thereby opening the door to markets in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.
The project responds to Vietnam’s growing energy demand, with electricity consumption projected to increase by 10% to 12% annually until 2030. In this context, new transmission networks of 220 kV and above are being promoted, making the availability of local technology critical for an efficient response.
Institutional ceremony and international projection
During the groundbreaking ceremony, which brought together approximately 150 people, Taihan Executive Vice President Joon-seok Kim highlighted that this investment will not only strengthen Taihan VINA’s role as a production hub but will also allow it to proactively meet global demand for transmission infrastructure.
Founded in 2005, Taihan VINA has been a key piece in the parent company’s internationalization. The commitment to greater technological integration and capacity expansion positions it as a relevant player in regional and global electrical development.
