THACO INDUSTRIES

What THACO INDUSTRIES does

THACO INDUSTRIES (Công ty TNHH Cơ khí & CNHT Trường Hải) is a Vietnam-headquartered mechanical manufacturing and supporting industries group, operating as a member of THACO GROUP and headquartered in Hanoi with primary manufacturing concentrated at the Chu Lai complex in Da Nang and a new 786-hectare Binh Co complex under development in Ho Chi Minh City. The company runs 18 wholly-owned subsidiaries organized around six business lines: automotive components (chassis, body, glass, plastics, electrical, seats, interiors, ACs, springs, composites, sealants), semi-trailers (THACO TRAILERS brand), mechanical processing and mold manufacturing, industrial and heavy/ultra-heavy steel structures, consumer/household equipment, and high-tech equipment (industrial robots, AGV, AMR, UAV, smart factory solutions, and the TIAR-01 AI service robot). It serves roughly 300 partners and customers globally, exports to approximately 30 countries, and supplies Tier-1 automotive OEMs including Ford (Q1 certified), Hyundai Thanh Cong, KIA, Toyota, Mazda, Peugeot, and Isuzu, plus industrial clients such as Doosan Vina, Makitech, and Hoa Phat.

The underlying technology stack combines German, Swiss, Japanese, and Korean capital equipment — including 3,200-ton presses, 5-face gantry milling machines, fiber laser cutting, automatic welding robot lines, and BIM-integrated Tekla/Sap2000/AutoCAD design — with proprietary digital manufacturing platforms featuring real-time ERP integration (including with Ford's systems) and automated order processing. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, EN 1090, and MMOG/LE certifications, supported by an in-house R&D Center staffed with approximately 1,000 engineers.

The business model is a B2B OEM/ODM contract manufacturer with quote-based, customized pricing negotiated directly with enterprise customers, sold through a direct field sales force across Vietnam and the US, supplemented by industry exhibitions and supply-demand conferences. Revenue is generated from hardware sales (manufactured components, trailers, industrial equipment, consumer products) and professional services (design, installation, warranty, and repair), with the bulk tied to a 16% YoY revenue increase to over 12,500 billion VND in FY2025 and a 2026 target of 15,800 billion VND. Strategic priorities now extend beyond automotive into railway rolling stock localization with Hyundai Rotem, construction steel structures, and high-tech automation equipment, anchored by a multi-year, 75,000+ billion VND capacity buildout at Binh Co.
