Hoa Phat's Container Plant focuses on producing popular container products ranging from 20 to 40 feet, with a total capacity of 500,000 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) per year. The Phase 1 capacity of 200,000 TEUs per year has been completed and put into operation. This is the largest container shell manufacturer in Vietnam and the Southeast Asian region.
