What Deep C Holding does

Deep C Holding (formerly Rent-A-Port) is a Belgian-domiciled industrial holding company that develops and manages industrial zones in northern Vietnam under the local brand 'DEEP C'. Founded in 1997 and jointly owned by Belgian groups Ackermans & van Haaren (50%) and CFE (50%), the company operates five recognized Eco Industrial Parks spanning more than 3,400 hectares across Haiphong city and Quang Ninh province, serving more than 100 industrial tenants. Its headquarters is in Berchem, Belgium, with primary operational offices in Hai Phong, Vietnam. Following a 2019 rebrand and strategic refocus, the company has concentrated its capital and management attention on the DEEP C Industrial Zones portfolio.

The company's core offering is industrial land together with turnkey infrastructure: ready-built factories, start-up warehouses, an ISO 9001 and 14001 certified in-house wastewater treatment plant, green energy services via a growing energy hub, a telecommunications network, office space rentals, firefighting capabilities, and full park management services. This positions Deep C as a one-stop industrial zone developer that reduces setup complexity for manufacturers and industrial investors, particularly those pursuing China+1 supply chain strategies in the electronics, machinery, and light manufacturing sectors.

Deep C generates revenue through multiple streams: industrial land sales (the primary driver historically, with the original Dinh Vu zone largely sold and future land revenue dependent on Quang Ninh zone development), recurring utility and infrastructure service fees, rentals of ready-built factories, warehouses, and office space, and a service complex supporting its 100+ customer base. Pricing is negotiated directly with enterprise customers on a B2B basis. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales, leveraging direct relationships with investors and local Vietnamese authorities to drive land leases and facility rentals within the parks.
