With a wave of projects completed across Vietnam by August 2021, the Penetron Vietnam team provided waterproofing solutions to many global brands establishing production and distribution centers in the country.
In many regions around the world, summertime is a slower season for the construction industry. This has been exacerbated in 2020 and 2021 by widespread material shortages and supply chain issues due to the Covid pandemic. Penetron Vietnam, however, experienced no such disruptions during 2021.
“This year, our team successfully completed a large number of factory and warehouse projects that required very specific and durable waterproofing solutions,” explains Kim Khanh Ngo Xuan, CEO & Managing Director of Penetron Vietnam. “Thanks to the expertise of our team, we were able to help complete projects on time – even when faced with challenging construction sites and very stringent timelines.”
Below is a selection on some of the projects completed by the Penetron Vietnam team over the first half of the year:
-

-
EMC Technology Factory – the Taiwanese electronics company set up its factory in the Hòa Phú Industrial Park of Bắc Giang Province. PENESEAL FH was chosen by the main contractor, Javicons Engineering & Construction, to harden & polish 3,500 m2 of concrete floor slab.
