Hoa Phat's Container Factory was built to meet the urgent need for containers in the world as well as in Vietnam; contributing to reducing the shortage of containers, pushing up freight rates by many times over the past time. The product is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Raw materials for container production are HRC steel, special grade SPA-H, natural resistance, weather resistance and produced at Hoa Phat Dung Quat Iron and Steel Production Complex. The construction of the container factory aims to create value-added products in Hoa Phat's iron and steel production ecosystem.

Before, it has had container manufacturing enterprise, but due to objective conditions, so it was reduced scaled production. The rest are mainly repair and renovation businesses.

With a large production scale and proactive source of raw materials from hoa Phat Dung Quat iron and steel factory, so the price of products when put on the market can completely compete   with Chinese goods.
