Accordingly, the number of FDI projects granted new investment certificates and investment expansion is between 30-40% in the field of supporting industries and the manufacturing industry of machinery, equipment and tools and spare parts.

Mr. Ngo Hoang Ho, General Manager of Sales Division of Vietnam NOK Co., Ltd. in Amata Industrial Park said: “The company plans to open another factory to produce equipment and spare parts for manufacturers of cars and planes in the world. It is expected that by the end of this year, the factory will complete and start recruiting more workers for production lines and increasing capacity to meet orders from foreign partners.

Each year, Dong Nai's export turnover of machinery, equipment and tools and spare parts increased by more than US$100 million compared to the previous year. Specifically, in 2019, the export of machinery, equipment and tools and spare parts was more than US$1.7 billion; in 2020 increase to US$1.82 billion; in 2021 about US$1.98 billion. It is estimated that in 2022, the export of this product will continue to increase because many businesses are planning to expand their investment.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang, Vice Chairperson of the Provincial People's Committee, FDI inflows into the industrial sector, especially supporting industries in Dong Nai Province, will promote domestic-invested enterprises to develop together.
