As industrial land in Ho Chi Minh City becomes increasingly scarce, rental costs rise, and inner-city traffic pressure intensifies, relocating factories to suburban areas has become a strategic move for many businesses. However, not every industrial park can balance proximity to HCMC, convenient access to major ports, and modern infrastructure to support manufacturing and logistics operations.
Long Hau Industrial Park (LHIP), located in Can Giuoc District, Long An Province right on the border of HCMC, is emerging as an ideal solution for businesses seeking to build factories near the city. Not only does it offer strategic access to key ports like SPCT, Hiep Phuoc, and Cat Lai, LHIP also provides comprehensive infrastructure and a wide variety of options, from industrial land to ready-built and build-to-suit factory models.
In this article, let’s explore why Long Hau Industrial Park is an ideal location for businesses looking to optimize costs, reduce transportation time, and enhance production efficiency.
Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s largest industrial and economic hub, home to hundreds of distribution centers, ports, airports, and regional transportation networks. Locating a factory near HCMC allows businesses to easily access raw materials, deliver products quickly to customers, and shorten international shipping time via major ports like Cat Lai, SPCT, and Hiep Phuoc.
Skilled technical and managerial labor is concentrated primarily in HCMC. Establishing a factory within 20–30 km of the city center facilitates recruitment and retention by offering employees a workplace near residential zones, reducing commuting costs and improving job satisfaction.
Factories near HCMC benefit from a complete ecosystem of services, including banking, warehousing, technical support, maintenance, legal and accounting services, vocational training centers, and industrial support hubs. This is a clear advantage over remote industrial zones located deep within western or central provinces.
With over 10 million residents and tens of thousands of active businesses, HCMC offers a vast market. Proximity allows companies to respond quickly to market demand, provide after-sales service effectively, and seize B2B partnership opportunities.
Long Hau Industrial Park (LHIP) is situated in Long Hau Commune, Can Giuoc District, Long An Province, right on the border with Nha Be District, HCMC. Key distances include:
- 12 km to Phu My Hung Urban Area (District 7)
- 3 km to Saigon Premier Container Terminal (SPCT) and Hiep Phuoc Port
- 19 km to District 1 (city center of HCMC)
LHIP holds a unique regional connectivity advantage, enabling businesses to leverage urban resources while avoiding the infrastructure pressure and high costs of the inner city.
LHIP is developed in three main phases, covering nearly 500 hectares in total, invested by Long Hau Corporation (LHC) a company with extensive experience in developing industrial park infrastructure:
- Long Hau 1 (initial phase): Fully occupied, operating stably with hundreds of FDI enterprises.
- Long Hau 2 and 3: Currently expanding, offering industrial land, ready-built factories, and modern multi-story workshops.
The entire park is planned and invested with synchronized infrastructure, including:
- Medium-voltage power supply system (22–35 kV) for continuous energy provision
- High-capacity wastewater treatment plant meeting international environmental standards
- Internal road network (16–32 meters wide) connecting all sub-zones
- High-speed telecommunications and internet services
- Fire prevention systems and 24/7 security services
LHC—the park’s developer—offers full-package support services for investors, including:
- Legal advisory for investment procedures (IRC, ERC, construction permits, etc.)
- Recruitment and workforce training assistance
- Leasing of ready-built factories and customized build-to-suit (BTS) facilities
- Logistics, maintenance, security, and sanitation services
Thanks to this transparent and comprehensive support ecosystem, Long Hau has become the preferred choice for corporations from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, the United States, and more.
From Long Hau Industrial Park, enterprises can quickly reach numerous major ports:
- SPCT Port (Saigon Premier Container Terminal): only ~3 km away
- Long An International Port: approximately 15–17 km away
- Hiep Phuoc Port: around 3–4 km away, capable of receiving vessels up to 50,000 DWT
- Cat Lai Port: the largest container terminal in the South, about ~25 km away
Thanks to such close distances, the time to transport containers from factories to the ports ranges from 15 to 45 minutes, minimizing delays and significantly reducing logistics costs.
In addition to convenient road access, Long Hau Industrial Park is located adjacent to the Soai Rap – Nha Be river system, allowing the transportation of goods via barges and small vessels. This is particularly beneficial for industries handling high-volume cargo such as seafood, textiles, packaging, and chemicals.
This waterway system connects directly to major ports and logistics hubs like ICD Phuoc Long, easing traffic congestion on roadways and ensuring a stable freight supply during peak seasons.
Establishing a factory at Long Hau Industrial Park allows businesses to:
- Shorten logistics journeys: Fewer transshipment points, direct routes to ports
- Reduce transportation costs: Shorter distances mean lower freight charges compared to distant industrial zones
- Boost supply chain efficiency: Faster delivery, reduced inventory, greater flexibility in production scheduling and exports
Thanks to its proximity to major seaports, businesses can easily connect with international shipping routes to Northeast Asia, ASEAN, the U.S., and Europe. This provides a significant advantage for export-oriented industries such as:
- Electronic components manufacturing
- Processed agricultural and seafood products
- Packaged food and beverages
- Precision engineering and mechanical manufacturing
In addition to modern infrastructure and a strategic location, Long Hau Industrial Park also offers a wide range of attractive investment incentives, creating the most favorable conditions for enterprises especially foreign investors and businesses in clean or high-tech industries.
New investors in Long Hau Industrial Park are entitled to generous tax incentives in accordance with state policies:
- 100% Corporate Income Tax exemption for the first 2 years after achieving profitability
- 50% tax reduction for the following 4 years
Certain specific sectors may also be eligible for a preferential tax rate of 10% for 15 years (depending on specific criteria). These financial benefits significantly ease the cost burden during the early stages of operation.
Long Hau Corporation (LHC) the park developer provides comprehensive support services for investors, including:
- Consulting and processing all necessary legal documents:
+ Investment Registration Certificate (IRC)
+ Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC)
+ Construction permits, environmental licenses, fire prevention and control documents
- Representing investors in working with government agencies upon request
- Providing document templates, tracking progress, and resolving unexpected issues
This enables businesses to save time and avoid risks due to lack of experience with administrative procedures in Vietnam.
- Reasonable industrial land leasing rates, ranging from USD 200–250/m²/lease term
- Ready-built factory rentals starting from USD 5.2/m²/month, ideal for SMEs
- Clear and publicized infrastructure service fees, including maintenance and management—no hidden charges
- Flexible payment policies aligned with project implementation progress
These rates are significantly more competitive than those in deep urban zones of HCMC or saturated parks like Tan Tao or Hiep Phuoc.
With its location bordering HCMC and situated in a densely populated area of Long An Province, Long Hau Industrial Park enjoys access to a rich labor pool. The developer offers:
- Job posting support through local employment channels
- Organization of job fairs and hiring events
- Linkages with vocational schools and training centers to supply skilled technical labor
This helps businesses reduce recruitment time and costs while securing a reliable workforce.
- Modern, safe worker dormitories
- Canteens, clinics, banking facilities, parking lots, 24/7 security
- On-site commercial and service areas to meet everyday needs
- Public transportation connections to HCMC and neighboring provinces
These amenities provide workers with comfortable living conditions, enhancing employee stability and retention.
