Vietnam Manufacturing & Sourcing
How Does Vietnam Manufacturing Compare to China?
In 2026, Vietnam has solidified its position as the premier "China Plus One" destination. While China remains the global volume leader, Vietnam’s manufacturing sector ended 2025 with strong momentum, with industrial production forecasted to grow by 6.7% in 2026.
Vietnam continues to leverage its strategic location and labor costs, which remain roughly $3 per hour, significantly lower than China’s urban manufacturing wages.
| Sector | Vietnam (Hub: Bac Ninh) | China (Hub: Guangdong) | 2026 Est. Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electronics | Revenue accounts for 25%+ of total GDP | Global lead in data units and ICs | Vietnam: 10%+, China: 4-5% |
| Automotive | 70% of local sales are domestic builds | Global leader in EV production | Vietnam: 14-16%, China: 3-4% |
| Semiconductors | Major new R&D and education centers | High focus on domestic chip-making | Vietnam: 10%+, China: 14%+ |
| Textiles | 80% of production capacity for export | Synthetic textile export powerhouse | Vietnam: 8-9%, China: 1-2% |
| Machinery | Expanding via high FDI in equipment | Rapid integration of AI and robotics | Vietnam: 6-7%, China: 1.6-3.6% |

NEW Factory Showcase
Setting a standard for precision, sustainability, and global compliance in plumbing manufacturing.
Located in the heart of Vietnam’s premier industrial zone, our newly renovated facility represents a multi-million dollar investment in the future of water infrastructure. As of late 2025, we have transitioned into a fully integrated 'Smart Factory', combining traditional craftsmanship with AI-driven precision to meet the world’s most demanding plumbing standards.
Advanced Production
- Automated Casting: Robotic sand casting and forging lines for zero-defect brass and stainless steel components.
- Precision CNC: High-speed 5-axis machining ensures tolerances within 0.01mm for leak-proof performance.
- Lead-Free Dedicated Lines: Strict isolation of materials to exceed current NSF/ANSI 372 requirements.
2026 Compliance Ready
- ISO 9001:2026 Certified: Operating under the latest global quality management framework.
- EU Drinking Water Directive: Fully compliant with the 2026 mandates for materials in contact with drinking water.
- IAPMO & UPC Approved: Rigorous North American testing conducted in our on-site ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
Sustainability & The Circular Economy
Our factory renovation wasn't just about speed—it was about responsibility. Our Vietnam plant now operates as a flagship for sustainable plumbing production plant:
- Zero-Liquid Discharge (ZLD): 95% of water used in testing and plating is recycled on-site.
- Solar-Powered Machining: Rooftop arrays provide up to 40% of the facility's peak energy demand.
- PFAS-Free Commitment: All manufacturing processes are verified 100% PFAS-free.
- EPD Verified: Environmental Product Declarations available for all core product lines.
Export Readiness
Strategically positioned near major deep-water ports, our Vietnam facility offers streamlined logistics to North America. With the CPSC eFiling 2026 requirements fully integrated into our export software, we ensure seamless customs clearance and uninterrupted supply chains for our United States import partners.
Precision. Reliability. Sustainability. Made in Vietnam.
