Doosan Vina is the first heavy industrial complex of its type in Vietnam and represents a 300 million USD investment on a110 hectare site in the Dung Quat Economic Zone in Quang Ngai. After breaking ground in February 2007 there was 27 months of intense construction, staffing and equipping that led to the company’s grand opening on May 15th 2009.
Doosan Vina is one of Doosan’s 35 branches worldwide that is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea.
Doosan first entered Vietnam in 1995 with a joint venture in Hai Phong. Mr. YS Park, then Company Chairman, was so impressed with the initial results after a visit to Vietnam in October of 2004 that he decided to locate the company’s newest branch in Vietnam. After an extensive global site survey Quang Ngai Province’s Dung Quat Economic Zone on Vietnam’s central coast was chosen to be the “Forward Strategic Production Base” for the company’s second century of development. Not only did the site offer attractive economic benefits it also features easily access to one of the world’s busiest sea lanes.
The five Businesses Units or BU’s at Doosan Vina design and produce the mega infrastructure projects that make life better for millions in Vietnam and all over the globe. The BU’s are: Boiler, Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), Material Handling System (MHS), Water and Chemical Processing Equipment (CPE).
Since Doosan Vina’s grand opening in May of 2009 the company has had made major contributions to Vietnam’s economy, social welfare programs it’s and reputation as an industrial powerhouse.
Economically Doosan Vina has exported products valued at over $500 million and provided stable jobs and income for more than 2,500 people in central Vietnam. The company’s economic impact is estimated to add $65 million to the economy annually.
From a social perspective the company has donated approximately $2 million to the people of Quang Ngai and has twice been recognized for its Corporate Social Responsibility activities.
In the few short years since commencing operations Doosan Vina was recently able to announce that the Vietnamese operations had already reached a production level equal to that of the parent company in South Korea.
The complex includes five factories, a dedicated and purpose-built port and support facilities that are equipped with the most technologically advanced machinery on earth and staffed by 2,500 of Vietnam’s best engineers and technicians.
Boiler: A boiler is considered the heart of the thermal power plants, and the Doosan Vina Boiler BU has manufactured boilers with total generating capacity of 7,460MW. These boilers are currently producing electricity and fueling the development of Brazil, Egypt, and India and for perspective if the total 7,460MW had been installed in Vietnam, which is equal to more than one third of the country’s total generating capacity, it would be capable of supplying electricity to over 11 million additional households in the country. Today, Doosan Vina’s Boiler shop is going near to the completion of 1,200 MW Mong Duong II power plant in Quang Ninh province and is manufacturing two 800MW boiler for Kudgi power plant in India.
HRSG: By capturing wasted thermal energy and turning it into electricity, the earth friendly Heat Recovery Steam Generator’s or HRSG’s made by Doosan Vina are saving money and adding 30% efficiency to power plants. One example is the HRSG unit now hard at work producing 750 MW at the Nhon Trach II power plant near HCMC. HRSG’s skilled workers have manufactured and shipped seven projects to since opening and HRSG equipment has been delivered to customers in Romania, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, France, India, and Vietnam.
MHS: If you are having trouble loading or unloading cargo containers weighing 40 to 65 tons, go ahead and call Doosan Vina’s MHS to solve your problems. MHS manufactures and assembles the giant cranes that are at the center of the world logistics. Doosan Vina’s mega Cranes are busy loading and unloading some of the 30,000 cargo ships that move the world’s goods in India, Indonesia, and Singapore and two of the “Made in Vietnam” cranes are working hard at Cat Lai port in Vietnam, helping increase trade between Vietnam and countries around the world.
Water: A sea water desalination evaporator is a size of a football field, weighs 4,000 tons and produces approximately 100 million liters of fresh water per day. Doosan Vina evaporators are satisfying the thirst of millions in the Middle East and Ly Son islanders of Quang Ngai will is now enjoying their first ever local water source after the installation of the near $1 million generators and desalination plants were completed in August 2012. Currently, all Water’s employees have completed fabricating three units in the order of eight units in the world’s largest ever desalination project that Doosan signed with Saudi Arabia. Once operational, it will produce nearly 800 million liters of water every day and bring life to the arid lands and the thirsty people of Saudi Arabia.
CPE: The highly engineered products fabricated by CPE are what is needed to turn the earth’s natural resources into everyday products like petrol or shampoo and since opening CPE has built and shipped a total of 218 pieces of equipment with a total weight nearly 13,000 tons. The products including pressure vessels, distillations, heat exchangers, burners and more which were shipped to Italy, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Turkmenistan, and the Dung Quat Refinery here in Vietnam.
"Our efforts are not only to see that the company is profitable, but also to prove that Vietnam is capable, and our people are talented", said a company engineer.
