THANH CONG GROUP

What THANH CONG GROUP does

Thanh Cong Group (TC Group) is a privately held Vietnamese conglomerate founded in 1999 in Hanoi, operating across three pillars — automotive manufacturing and distribution, real estate/hospitality, and financial services. Its automotive division functions as the sole authorized partner of Hyundai Motor in Vietnam (a 17+ year exclusive relationship running through joint ventures HTV for passenger vehicles and HTCV for commercial vehicles) and as the manufacturing partner for Škoda Auto in Vietnam, producing both passenger cars and SUVs at two industrial complexes in Ninh Binh and Quang Ninh with a combined design capacity exceeding 300,000 vehicles per year. The Quang Ninh facility, broken ground in 2023 and developed with German industrial partner Dürr for paint-shop technology, enables local assembly of the Škoda Kushaq, Kodiaq, and Slavia alongside Hyundai models including sedans (Accent, Elantra), SUVs (Creta, Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade), MPVs, and the IONIQ 5 electric vehicle. Distribution runs through nationwide authorized dealer networks.

The group's real estate division operates under The Five brand, encompassing 5-star hotels, integrated resorts, serviced residences, and the Royal Golf complex — a 54-hole Nicklaus-designed course in Ninh Binh that is the largest in Northern Vietnam — with hospitality managed in partnership with South Korea's Shilla Hotels & Resorts. Revenue mechanics span unit pricing on vehicles (Skoda Kushaq from 465 million VND; Hyundai Santa Fe from 1.055–1.375 billion VND with industry-leading 8-year/120,000 km warranties), real estate development sales and resort operations, and financial services partnerships. The group reports 5,001–10,000 employees, contributes among the largest state-budget amounts from any Vietnamese private enterprise, and has been recognized in the Top 50 Excellent Enterprises of Vietnam for five consecutive years (2021–2025).
