What Phong Phu does

Tổng Công ty Cổ phần Phong Phú (Phong Phu Corporation) is a Vietnamese vertically integrated textile manufacturer headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, founded in 1964 and operating as a public joint-stock company within the Vinatex state-owned textile group. It produces yarn and industrial sewing thread under brands including Macio, Venti, and the long-running Coats and Shigemitsu co-developed product lines, alongside home textiles (towels, bedding, and related products) under the Mollis brand and sub-lines such as Mollis Ecol, Hải Vân, Hải Cẩu, and Tepido. Annual production capacity is 61,000 spindles, 11,300 tonnes of yarn, and 10,465 tonnes of home textiles, with technical capabilities spanning spinning, dyeing, weaving, and finishing across a closed-loop mill network.

The business operates a dual-channel commercial model. On the B2B side, Phong Phu serves more than 600 customers including garment manufacturers, industrial thread distributors, and international retailers such as Target and Aeon, exporting to Japan, the United States, Europe, Russia, and Southeast Asia. On the B2C and distribution side, the company sells finished home textiles through six Mollis-owned retail showrooms, e-commerce channels, and partnerships with domestic supermarket chains. Reported 2025 consolidated revenue reached VND 2,871 billion (~US$113 million) with pre-tax profit of VND 475 billion, and exports alone totaled US$34.72 million in 2024. The company holds OEKO-TEX STeP Level 3 certification (reportedly the first Vietnamese firm to obtain it), ISO 9001:2008, and ISO 14001:2004, and has been recognized as a Vietnam National Brand for eight consecutive years.

Revenue mechanics combine long-tenured industrial thread contracts (35 years with Coats, 27 years with Shigemitsu) with branded retail margin capture through Mollis. The company employs 3,562 unionized staff and has reduced total debt by more than 40% over the past five years, paying a 30% dividend in 2025 on the back of a five-year plan completed at 134% of target. Strategic positioning emphasizes sustainability certification, premium export accounts, and direct-to-consumer expansion of the Mollis brand as the principal growth levers.
