Park Introduction
The Deep C industrial park cluster is a port-oriented industrial complex developed through a partnership between Belgian investor Rent-A-Port and the People’s Committee of Hai Phong. Originating from the Dinh Vu Industrial Zone (now Deep C Hai Phong I) established in 1997, it is one of the oldest and most mature international industrial parks in Northern Vietnam. Supported by the Belgian government, it is among the few parks in Vietnam with a European development background and integrated port-industrial functionality.
Over more than two decades of continuous expansion, Deep C has grown from a single park to five functional zones spanning Hai Phong and Quang Ninh provinces, with a total development area of over 3,400 hectares. It has evolved into a multifunctional ecological industrial park system integrating industrial manufacturing, port logistics, energy development, and infrastructure co-construction, making it one of the most dynamic and promising industrial platforms in Northern Vietnam and even Southeast Asia.
Located in the core of Northern Vietnam’s economic corridor, the park sits close to Lach Huyen Deepwater Port, Cat Bi International Airport, and the coastal expressway network, boasting strong export logistics capabilities. It is particularly suitable for export manufacturing, distribution, and processing enterprises targeting the Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and ASEAN markets.
The park has so far attracted more than 130 global enterprises, including Bridgestone, AkzoNobel, Zamil Steel, JGC, and Shiseido, covering sectors such as heavy industry, machinery, energy, chemicals, logistics, and food processing. It is gradually developing into an integrated international park featuring green energy, renewable energy projects, green-certified factories, and ESG-driven strategies.
The Deep C industrial cluster is more than just an industrial park; it is a cluster-based, modular, and sustainable export manufacturing hub, ideal for medium-to-large projects pursuing long-term strategic layouts, multifunctional factories, and regional logistics centers.
