Provincial Industrial Park Management Board deploys investment attraction tasks

In the context of localities competing to improve the investment environment, Son La has identified the development of industrial parks (IPs) as a key driving force to promote socio-economic development. The Provincial Industrial Park Management Board has been implementing many synchronous solutions, both building infrastructure and improving the quality of investment attraction.

According to the planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, the province aims to form 5 industrial parks with a total area of ​​about 1,000 hectares. The current focus is Mai Son Industrial Park (150 hectares) and Van Ho Industrial Park (216.6 hectares). After 2030, Mai Son will expand to 312 hectares, while developing additional industrial parks in Long Sap, Yen Chau and Chieng Khuong.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Dung, Head of the Management Board of Industrial Parks of Son La Province, said that in 2025, the Board will focus on reforming administrative procedures, making planning information transparent, and organizing dialogues with businesses to remove difficulties. At the same time, it will step up promotion, advertising, and prioritize high-tech, environmentally friendly projects that have export potential and contribute to the budget.

To facilitate investors, 100% of procedures at industrial parks are now done online, of which 97.6% are at the full process level. The quality management system according to standards is strictly maintained, and records are always processed before the deadline. The list and procedures are publicly available and promptly updated on the Electronic Information Portal, making it easy for businesses to access.

The Provincial Industrial Park Management Board visited the factory of Dream Plastic Company in Ninh Binh.

At the same time, investment promotion activities have been vigorously implemented. The Management Board has organized many working groups in An Giang, Dong Thap, Ninh Binh to promote potential and connect partners. In particular, last August, the promotion group in Ninh Binh worked with Dream Plastic Co., Ltd. and Mavin Food Joint Venture Co., Ltd., introducing the advantages of young human resources, infrastructure and investment attraction policies.

Mr. Jang Kyuong Ho, Deputy General Director of Dream Plastic Company, highly appreciated the support of the province. Mr. Jang Kyuong Ho shared that during the survey process, the company always received timely support from the Management Board, facilitating the project preparation work. It is expected that after the policy is approved, the Company will invest more than 180 billion VND to build a factory to produce and process children's toys and plastic products in Mai Son Industrial Park. The factory is expected to go into operation from March 2026, creating jobs for about 1,200 workers, with an estimated revenue of 2 million USD/month.

To date, Mai Son Industrial Park (Phase I) has attracted 9 projects with a total registered capital of about 1,453.7 billion VND, using 30.44 hectares of land, achieving an occupancy rate of about 66%. The projects focus on the processing and supporting industries, in line with the province's industrial development orientation.

With a long-term vision, Son La not only aims for industrial growth but also focuses on sustainability. Priority projects are in deep processing, applying modern technology, saving energy and being environmentally friendly. This is considered a strategic step to increase production value, create stable jobs, contribute positively to the budget and promote green economic development.
