A factory moves from project to operation

Bestway opened the first phase of its Can Tho sports-technology factory at VSIP Can Tho on 19 September, as reporting across multiple outlets indicates. The facility, in Vinh Trinh commune, makes inflatable and plastic toys, water-sports equipment, related plastic components and PVC thermoplastic sheets.

The operational detail is the key development. Reported details describe the site as equipped with automated production lines; the available report does not establish a measured gain in output, efficiency or environmental performance. The factory is the first operating production project reported at VSIP Can Tho.

What the first phase represents

Reported details put phase one at 28.6 hectares and the project investment at more than VND2.6 trillion. The reports also describe capacity of more than 22 million products a year, but that is a design or stated annual capacity rather than evidence of current production volume.

For Vietnam manufacturing operators, maintenance providers, automation suppliers and logistics partners, the opening creates a concrete site to evaluate as production begins. It is also an early operating marker for an industrial park being developed in Can Tho, rather than proof that a wider supplier ecosystem or demand base has already materialised.

Expansion remains a plan

The opening should not be conflated with Bestway's later phases. Reported plans describe an expected 12-hectare second phase with production targeted for July 2027 and a longer-term three-phase footprint with a job projection. Those reported statements describe plans, not operating capacity or realised employment.

The next useful signals are start-of-production evidence, supplier or logistics relationships, and any disclosed operating data. Until then, the report supports a narrower conclusion: phase one is open and its automated manufacturing lines are now part of the operating landscape at VSIP Can Tho.
