The RIKEN TECHNOS group has designated ASEAN as a priority region, aiming to capture market share and increase its top market share in the region. In order to steadily seize business opportunities in the growing ASEAN market, such as by responding to market needs and demand by supplying products, we are strengthening our production system by operating new plants and adding new lines in Thailand and other countries.
The current expansion of production facilities was planned since 2021 due to the expected market growth in Vietnam. The construction of the building of the new plant and warehouse and the installation of various equipment has now been completed, and the new plant and warehouse began operations in November 2024.
The ceremony celebrating the 10th anniversary of the company’s establishment and the completion of the new plant was held on November 22, and was attended by people from Binh Duong Province and those who have a close relationship with the company on a daily basis.

We will strive for the economic development of Binh Duong Province, contribute to the local community, and grow together with our employees.”
With this expansion of production facilities, annual production capacity will increase by approximately 1.5 times. RIKEN VIETNAM aims to increase sales in the Vietnamese market by capturing demand for automotive electric wires and general electrical wire applications, especially for wire harnesses.
