EnglishOver the past 25 years, the VAS Group has employed 6,000 workers, owned five steel production companies and one international port, all of which operate in uniformity thanks to its “secrets of the trade”.
VAS special features
VAS Group is a large-scale group that ranks among the Top 5 Steel Manufacturers in Vietnam and which comprise five member companies specializing in steel production, one port operator, and a 6,000-strong workforce across the country. Together, they continuously break new ground with their own unique identity.
Since its inception in 1988, the VAS Group comprises a series of steel billet and rolling mills capable of producing over 4.35 million tons of square steel billets and over 2.5 million tons of construction steel annually. The five constituent factories of the Group operate in unison and complementarity like puzzle pieces that form the bigger picture of seamless production. In March 2022, VAS Group was honored with the “Top 200 Prize of the Vietnamese Golden Star in 2021” Award which was voted by the Vietnamese Central Youth Union and the Vietnamese Central Young Entrepreneurs Union.
5 steel billet and rolling mills companies produce
outstanding output, satisfying market demand.
Moreover, the VAS Group maintains tight control of its product quality to ensure the consistent compliance with standards. All VAS steel products are produced with the advanced production chain from Italy’s Danieli Group – one of the leading global businesses in steel billets and rolling mills. Its factories also apply scientific and professional processes, from material treatment, billet and steel production, to furnished steel production. VAS steel is certified as meeting the Vietnamese QCVN:2011/BKHCN standard [TCVN], Japanese standard [JIS], American standard [ASTM], and the ISO 14001 environmental standard.
The Nghi Son Port completes the VAS Group’s Ecosystem.
In addition to production, the VAS Group has also operated an international port system which contributes to the completion of an ecosystem that helps further its cause for sustainability. The addition of the Nghi Son International Port [Thanh Hoa Province] gives a logistical advantage and helps the VAS to better satisfy all demands in terms of production output, quality, and delivery time. Thus far, VAS steel products have conquered more than a dozen international markets, including some of the toughest in terms of quality and brand reputation, such as Japan and Korea, or far away on the other side of the Hemisphere, such as Guatemala [Central America]. The Group currently targets larger markets, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
“The Mind of Steel” spirit creates a strong foundation for the Group.
The foundation of “The Mind of Steel” philosophy
Embedded in its name, VAS [Vietnam Advance Spirit] signifies an aspiration toward becoming a national brand that takes the cultural identity and spirit of Vietnam to the world. Furthermore, the VAS Group fully understands that a quality bar of steel must be made on the basis of quality billet and its sustainable development values must come from the HEART. Thus, VAS has built for itself “The Mind of Steel” spirit and elevated it to become the Northern Star guiding all activities of the Group. All members of the VAS Group share a common passion, solidarity, and keep “the Mind of Steel” against difficulties and challenges which give rise to steel works of art that satisfy market demands and bring about optimal values for customers.
Appling “the Mind of Steel” not only to employees and workers but also to the relationship with partners as well as all activities of the Group, the VAS Board of Management identifies “the Mind of Steel” as the Group’s core value, which is the passion, the drive, the dynamism, wholeheartedness, innovativeness, and strength of each individual that make up the quality of products.
A vital part of VAS is its REPUTATION in business. This brings real values, and helps to optimize and harmonize interests for all relevant parties. The VAS Group establishes trust with its customers through its commitments and transparent policies as well as international-level products.
