Expanding the MDF production scale to 2,300,000 m3/year
Experiencing the shock of supply chain disruption due to Covid-19, the world's leading distributors tend to diversify and seek safer sources of supply, and Vietnam is the country that can meet that demand both in quantity and quality.
Statistics from the General Department of Customs show that Vietnam's exports of wood and wood products in the first six months of 2021 reached USD6.63 billion, a sharp increase of 62% over the same period last year. This is a very positive signal for wood enterprises in general and Kim Tin in particular.
Currently, Kim Tin is stably operating two MDF production plants in Binh Phuoc with a total capacity of 500,000 m3/year, accounting for more than 20% of the domestic market share. In which, FSC Vietnam is currently considered as one of the most modern and large-scale MDF factories in our country with production lines completely imported from Europe, with many advantages and outstanding features.

Digital transformation in response to the “new normal”
Social distancing causes most employees to work from home and of course, the change in buying behavior from "offline" to "online" will become more and more obvious. From a different perspective, the Covid-19 epidemic is seen as a lever to stimulate the digital transformation process to optimize the operating system and help businesses focus on continuing to promote business activities.
