What Zodiac does

Zodiac (Công ty Cổ phần Đầu tư Hoàng Đạo) is a privately held Vietnamese technology company founded on April 13, 1991 in Hanoi, with a second branch in Ho Chi Minh City. It operates across four business areas: presentation equipment, education technology, system integration, and defense/security. The company holds exclusive Vietnam distribution rights for Optoma projectors (since 2005), Maxell, Xoceco interactive displays, UVS video wall processors, and Legrand AV brands (Vaddio, Chief, Da-Lite, Luxul, Middle Atlantic), and is a certified defense-industry participant under Vietnam's Ministry of National Defense since 2015.

Its core technology stack spans hardware (Optoma/Maxell projectors at 3,000-12,000 lumens from FHD to 4K UHD, Xoceco and AUO Display Plus interactive flat panels 65-86 inches, Unilumin LED walls with 1.2-3.9 mm pixel pitch, Lumens document cameras, Vaddio PTZ cameras) and software/solutions (Class Saathi AI-powered Bluetooth-clicker education platform with personalized learning and 24/7 AI tutoring; CaLabo EX digital language lab system; Smart Meeting Room, Smart Classroom, Smart School, Command & Control Center, 3D Mapping, and 3D Golf Simulator integrated solutions). The company invests in localization features including Vietnamese handwriting recognition on Optoma 5 Series interactive displays (Google EDLA certified) and AI-powered conference and classroom camera framing/tracking.

Zodiac generates revenue across multiple streams: one-time hardware sales of AV equipment through exclusive distributions and channel partners; professional system integration services (consultation, design, installation, commissioning) for education, corporate, government, defense, hospitality, and healthcare verticals; and recurring managed warranty/maintenance services through company-owned service centers (24-month projector body warranty, 12-month/1000-hour lamp warranty, 48-hour Optoma response). The go-to-market is hybrid — direct enterprise field sales for large projects, plus a nationwide authorized distributor network spanning Northern, Central, and Southern Vietnam (HDRADIO, Easy Vietnam, Mặt Trời Việt, JVS, AVcenter) for SMB and educational institutional reach, supplemented by an e-commerce storefront (avcenter.vn). Education is the primary vertical, complemented by a defense vertical built on the 2015 MoD certification and a real estate diversification line via Zodiac Building, a 15-16 story commercial office tower in Cau Giay IT Park, Hanoi.

Broad incumbents

• Midwich Group: UK-listed global AV product distributor with significant APAC presence. Comparable in distribution-heavy model serving AV resellers and integrators, though Midwich operates at materially larger scale and across multiple geographies.
• FPT Corporation: Vietnam's largest technology conglomerate spanning IT services, telecommunications, and education technology. Comparable as a Vietnam-headquartered technology integrator with government and education exposure, but at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• AVI-SPL: World's largest AV systems integrator offering enterprise-wide AV/UC solutions across corporate, education, and government. Comparable core offering (AV integration + managed services) but vastly larger scale and global footprint.
• PSAV (Encore Global): Global leader in event/hospitality AV services and meeting solutions. Comparable in the AV integration and event technology services, but Encore operates at significantly larger scale across hospitality, corporate events, and conferences.

Direct peers

• Solotech: Canadian AV integrator with growing US/international footprint providing audio, video, lighting, and rigging integration for live events, corporate, and education. Comparable system integration business model and enterprise customer focus.
• Vega Global: Singapore-headquartered AV system integrator operating across Southeast Asia with a similar mix of equipment distribution, integration services, and vertical-specific solutions (corporate, education, government). Closest regional comparable in business model and customer mix.
• Electro Sonic / Solutionz: North American AV distribution and integration specialist. Comparable as a value-added AV distributor offering integration services, though operating primarily in the US/Canada rather than Vietnam.

Regional players

• Tinh Van Technology (Tinh Vân Group): Vietnamese IT services and technology company headquartered in Hanoi. Comparable as a Vietnam-based technology services firm with similar headcount and B2B/government exposure, though focused on software/IT rather than AV integration.
• RGB Communications: UK AV distributor and integration specialist serving commercial and education verticals. Comparable distribution-plus-integration model, though focused on UK/European markets rather than Southeast Asia.

Others

• Sharp NEC Display Solutions: Global manufacturer of commercial displays and projectors. Comparable product category to Zodiac's display and projection distribution lines, but operates upstream as an OEM/brand owner rather than as a distributor/integrator.
