Amphenol & Kizuna – A Success Story in Vietnam Factory Setup

Vietnam is emerging as a strategic manufacturing hub in Asia, thanks to its favorable geographic location, competitive costs, and increasingly streamlined investment environment. However, for many foreign direct investment (FDI) companies, setting up a factory in a new country can still be a major challenge in terms of time, legal procedures, and operations.

The story of Amphenol's deployment of its O1-3 factory in just 3.5 weeks at Kizuna – one of the leading ready-built service factory models in Long An – is a clear demonstration of the ability to shorten operational timelines, accelerate investment, and build lasting trust between a global corporation and a reliable local partner.

FDI Factory Deployment in Just 3.5 Weeks – Amphenol & Kizuna Achieve Record Speed

Kizuna understands that for investors, time is of the essence. Any delay in getting a factory operational can directly impact revenue and market opportunities.

Amphenol's O1-3 factory project is a remarkable feat. Amphenol decided to lease the factory space in Long An within just 1-2 months. The entire process of completing and bringing the factory to a production-ready state took just 3.5 weeks. This achievement is even more impressive considering that the original schedule was moved up from a planned start date in June 2025 due to global strategic changes.

This rapid deployment not only shortens operational time and reduces payback periods but also brings practical benefits to the business.

Mr. Anh Nguyen, former General Director and current Consultant at Amphenol Fiber Optic Products, shared sincerely: "This was not simply a scale-up project, but a real challenge in terms of speed and coordination. And Kizuna has once again confirmed its position as our leading strategic partner in Vietnam." This statement further emphasizes the value of trust – a crucial factor in FDI projects.

A long-standing collaboration grows  – Why Does Amphenol Continue to Trust Kizuna?

The inauguration of the O1-3 factory stands as a testament to the growing partnership between Amphenol and Kizuna, as Amphenol continues to expand its operations at the Kizuna Ready-built Factory complex, bringing the total leased area to 20,762 m2. This reflects Amphenol’s strong confidence in Kizuna’s service quality as well as the promising business environment offered here. The new facility is designed to accommodate 150 workers operating across three shifts and will run in parallel with the existing N1B factory, which currently employs nearly 300 staff in stable operations.

Praise from Amphenol Leadership – Recognizing Speed, Spirit, and Deployment Efficiency

The speeches from Amphenol's senior leadership at the inauguration ceremony were not only an acknowledgment but also a great source of encouragement, fostering a strong spirit of unity and celebrating the noble value of cooperation.

Mr. Henry Wang (General Manager, Amphenol FOP): "When I came here in January and Bill showed me this space, I was skeptical that it would be possible to complete such an important project before the end of March. But you did it. A truly amazing result. I look forward to coming back to see the growth that you are creating. Congratulations! You are completely deserving of the praise."

Mr. Ian Bourke (Group General Manager, RFOB): "Setting up a new factory in such a short period of time is truly a significant challenge. This achievement is even more impressive when the entire team, after 5 years, has worked together, united in their efforts to achieve a common goal. I am truly impressed by your amazing work ethic. Now, we have become a unified, cohesive, and increasingly strong collective. I very much look forward to witnessing even greater success in the future. Thank you all."
