What Vina Kyoei Steel Limited does

Vina Kyoei Steel Limited (Công ty TNHH Thép Vina Kyoei) is a privately held Vietnamese-Japanese joint venture steel manufacturer established in 1994 and headquartered at the Phú Mỹ 1 Industrial Zone in Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province. The company is jointly owned by Vietnam Steel Corporation (state-owned), Kyoei Steel Group, Mitsui, and Marubeni-Itochu Steel, and operates the first Vietnam-Japan steel manufacturing joint venture. Its core business is producing construction steel products — deformed steel bars, threaded deformed rebar with couplers, steel coils, plain round steel, and equal angle steel — using direct rolling technology that bypasses a reheating furnace, providing a cost-efficiency advantage versus conventional re-rolling. The company is the first and only domestic producer of threaded deformed rebar (TR51, 51mm diameter), a specialty product used in large-scale construction as a replacement for conventional rebar splicing.

Vina Kyoei serves the Vietnamese construction industry — including infrastructure, commercial real estate, industrial, and energy projects — and has supplied steel to marquee projects such as the Ho Chi Minh City Metro Bến Thành-Suối Tiên line, AEON Mall Bình Dương, Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport, Cần Thơ Bridge, and Bà Rịa Thermal Power Plant. The company also completed a one-off export shipment of threaded rebar to the Neak Loeung Bridge in Cambodia (Japanese ODA-funded). The business is operated from a single integrated production site with a 2015-completed USD 220 million expansion raising total capacity to nearly 1 million tons per year of billets and finished products, supported by a workforce of approximately 650 employees. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of manufactured steel to enterprise construction contractors and via a nationwide distributor network reaching mid-market resellers, with a sales office in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 for direct customer engagement. The company holds TCVN 1651-2:2018 quality certification, Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) customs status, and was awarded the Third-Class Labor Medal by the President of Vietnam in 2014.
