Nokia yesterday kicked off the development of its manufacturing facility in Vietnam, to serve the growing demand for mobile phones all over the world.
Located in Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) in the northern province of Bac Ninh, the Nokia Vietnam manufacturing facility is being developed on an area of 17 hectares.
Nokia expects to start the operations of this factory in early 2013.
The event is one step further in reaffirming Nokia's long term commitment to the Vietnam market, under Nokia's strategy to connect the next billion people to information and the Internet, the company stated.
"We highly appreciate Nokia's efforts in making this commitment a reality, which contributes to the growth of foreign investment in Vietnam in general and in Bac Ninh in particular," said Nguyen Nhan Chien, President of People's Committee of Bac Ninh province.
"We also hope this will bring up not only economic value, but also other social benefits for the country like job creation and community knowledge enhancement on information technology alike."
Mary McDowell, Executive Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia, said: "Thanks to the valued support from the Vietnamese government, our manufacturing program in Vietnam has been progressing well. The new Nokia manufacturing plant will produce and provide new devices for compelling and affordable, localized mobile experiences, particularly in the growth markets.
"Nokia is also committed to extending our positive reputation as an employer and as a corporate citizen. We expect to attract competent and energetic employees from the local skilled labor force. And in turn, employees at our new factory can expect a state-of-the-art facility and a positive, modern working environment with high professional and ethical standards," continued McDowell.
Nokia currently operates two representative offices in Vietnam: one in Ho Chi Minh City and the other in Hanoi.
In November, 2011, Nokia established a new company, Nokia (Vietnam) LLC, to build and operate the new Vietnam manufacturing facility.
