Client Case Study – Japanese Electronics Expansion in Vietnam

Client Profile

A Japanese electronics manufacturer, with a Taiwan subsidiary, producing circuit boards and wiring harnesses for global tech brands, diversifying from China.

Challenge

The client needed a 50-hectare parcel to:

• Shift 60% of production from China to avoid US tariffs (up to 60% in 2025).
• Secure 20 MW power and fiber-optic for automated lines.
• Tap Vietnam’s labor pool and ASEAN export hubs like Hai Phong port.
• Plan for 30% capacity growth by 2027.

Approach

• Targeted Binh Duong’s My Phuoc III Industrial Park for its scale and connectivity.
• Evaluated five parcels for zoning, power, and Highway 13 access.
• Negotiated a $12M purchase with phased payments to ease cash flow.
• Streamlined permits in 60 days via local partnerships.
• Advised on ASEAN origin rules, ensuring 40% local value-add for near-zero US tariffs.

Outcome

The client acquired a 50-hectare site, breaking ground in 75 days. It now supports $30M in annual US exports, tariff-free, with expansion room for 2026.
