The year 2025 marks an important milestone in the development journey of VAS Group as it officially becomes a member of the World Steel Association (Worldsteel). This is not only a great honor for VAS but also a testament to the maturity and international advancement of Vietnam’s steel industry.
Joining Worldsteel – A Strategic Step Forward on the Integration Journey
Worldsteel, a leading and prestigious organization in the global steel industry, brings together more than 160 top steel corporations from over 50 countries, representing up to 85% of the world’s steel production. To join this “arena” of international giants, VAS Group had to meet stringent criteria in terms of production scale, management capacity, sustainability standards, and global reputation.
Notably, VAS has successfully risen above these “challenges”, officially standing shoulder to shoulder with major global players such as ArcelorMittal, POSCO, Nippon Steel, and Baowu Steel. This milestone serves as a strategic recognition, affirming the Group’s capability and stature within the global steel industry landscape.
VAS earns a spot on the prestigious roster of World Steel Members.
VAS – A Pioneer in Shaping New Industry Standards
From the very beginning, VAS has carried the ambition to reach the global stage through a well-planned strategy of investing in modern technology and advanced management models. Today, the VAS ecosystem has grown strongly, consisting of five state-of-the-art steel rolling and melting plants and an international seaport system in Nghi Son, with an annual capacity of 4.35 million tons of billets and 2.5 million tons of construction steel.
VAS Green Steel has successfully penetrated demanding markets such as the UK, Australia, the US, and Japan, meeting the most stringent technical and environmental standards. Notably, VAS is among the very few Vietnamese enterprises to have earned the prestigious UK CARES certification, clear proof of the quality, reliability, and global competitiveness of its products.
VAS Group also demonstrates a strong commitment to the environment and community by investing heavily in wastewater treatment systems, solid waste recycling, and optimizing a circular production chain toward a green, clean, and efficient manufacturing model. These practical actions not only reflect VAS’s environmental and social responsibility but also serve as a major competitive advantage in an increasingly “sustainability-driven” global market.
Joining Worldsteel opens up opportunities for VAS Group to access a global knowledge network and participate in in-depth forums on technology, sustainability, and green trends in the steel industry. From here, VAS not only learns from the world’s leading corporations but also has the chance to share Vietnam’s achievements and innovations with the global community.
By joining World Steel, VAS Group elevates Vietnam’s steel industry on the global stage.
As the first Vietnamese enterprise in the steel industry to join World Steel, VAS Group will serve as a vital bridge for fostering international cooperation, facilitating technology transfer, and enhancing the global standing of Vietnam’s heavy industry.
Elevating the Position of Vietnam’s Steel Industry
VAS’s accession to the World Steel Association is not only a source of pride for the company itself but also a symbolic milestone reflecting the significant transformation of Vietnam’s steel industry amid global integration and competition. The global recognition of a Vietnamese enterprise underscores its genuine capabilities, strategic vision, and adaptability to international standards. This achievement establishes a crucial foundation for attracting foreign investment, expanding technical collaborations, and driving the growth of many domestic enterprises.
Behind this success lies nearly three decades of relentless labor by the entire VAS team from leadership to engineers and staff who have consistently embodied the spirit of being "Steel-Strong at Heart" in every decision, action, and value pursued by VAS. With a solid foundation and a long-term vision, VAS is constantly realizing its goal of becoming a leading steel group in the region while actively contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s steel industry and the nation.
