With a focus on screens for the automotive and technology sectors, Samsung’s new factory strengthens the global presence of the South Korean giant and expands its OLED display production capacity.
Samsung, one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world, announced an important new step in its global expansion with the construction of a new OLED display factory in Vietnam. The investment, which amounts to US$ 1.8 billion, will be directed to a unit in Bac Ninh province, in the Yen Phong industrial park, which will focus on the production of OLED screens aimed at the automotive market and next-generation technology devices. Samsung’s new factory reinforces the company’s strategy to diversify its global production and meet the growing demand for OLED displays, one of the most advanced and sought-after components today.
Samsung’s Accumulated Investment in Vietnam Reaches US$ 8.3 Billion
With this new investment, Samsung’s accumulated investment in Vietnam reaches US$ 8.3 billion, further reinforcing its presence in the Asian country. Since it began investing in Vietnam, the South Korean giant has built six factories and a research and development (R&D) center, establishing the country as one of the company’s largest production hubs.
Samsung’s new factory will be responsible for manufacturing OLED screens, which are used in a variety of products, such as smartphones, tablets, TVs, and, more recently, in the automotive sector. The choice of Vietnam to host this new unit reflects the strategic importance of the country for the global production of electronics, as well as the skilled workforce and lower operating costs.

Bac Ninh Province: One of the Largest Electronics Production Centers in Vietnam
Bac Ninh province has already established itself as one of the largest electronics production centers in Vietnam. The Yen Phong industrial park, where the new factory will be built, is one of the most important industrial hubs in the region. Samsung has already invested US$ 6.5 billion in the area, and the addition of US$ 1.8 billion further increases its relevance for the company’s operations.
In addition to Samsung, Bac Ninh province has also attracted other significant investments from companies like Foxconn and Amkor Vietnam, demonstrating the growing appeal of the country as an important global production center.
International Cooperation and Innovation
The announcement of Samsung’s new factory was made following a meeting between Vietnam’s Prime Minister, Pham Minh Chinh, and the CEO of Samsung Vietnam, Choi Joo Ho. The Vietnamese government sees Samsung as one of the main strategic partners in the development of the electronics sector in the country.
Samsung has also strengthened its global partnerships, such as the recent contract with Vodafone Idea to supply network equipment, in a deal worth US$ 3.6 billion that also includes Nokia and Ericsson. This global expansion demonstrates how Samsung is consolidating itself as one of the leading technology suppliers in different markets, beyond consumer electronics.
A Production Hub for the Future
In recent years, Vietnam has emerged as one of the key destinations for major technology companies looking to expand their production capabilities. With Samsung’s new factory, the country further strengthens its position as a high-technology production hub. The Vietnamese government, in turn, continues to attract major companies with tax incentives and policies supporting innovation and industrial development.
Last Sunday, Bac Ninh province approved a total of 18 new projects, with a promised investment of over US$ 5.5 billion, including companies like Foxconn and Amkor Vietnam. These investments demonstrate the growth potential of the industrial sector in Vietnam and the importance of the country for global electronics production.
