VIETHONG textiles is one of the most important denim mills in Vietnam and has been operating for over 20 years. They are one of the most regular participants in our D&J show in Vietnam and will be joining the 7th edition of D&J-Denimsandjeans Vietnam B2B event in HO Ch Minh City. We speak to the Marketing Head Mr Romeo Ordas to understand more about the company and its vision in a Q&A below :

VIET Hong Textile is one of the biggest fully integrated denim fabric mill in Vietnam. Please shed a light on your journey?

Viet Hong Textile originated from the mother company Viet Huong Group, which started by producing instant noodles and food flavoring years after they built 2 Industrial Park in Binh Duong Province. In 2005, Viet Hong Textile was established to cater to the growing demand for Denim fabric locally and internationally. From a mere production capacity of 300K meters a month, Viet Hong Textile is producing 1M to 1.2M meters and planning to increase capacity to 1.5M to 1.8M meters a month in 2026 by investing in new weaving machinery and dyeing machines. Viet Hong is also not new in the international market, continuously reaching out to other customers and penetrating new markets such as Europe, Russia, and Canada.

 Why do you believe in Vietnam and why do you think it has a great future especially denim?

I believe that Vietnam is in a perfect position in terms of apparel and textile manufacturing, as we have established ourselves as the denim manufacturing hub in ASIA. We have young, trainable, and skilled workers, not to mention our competitive pricing and high productivity.

 Vietnam will have a great future, anticipating 10 more years in the apparel business.  Vietnam companies are always ready to invest and improve our textile and apparel ecosystem. We have diverse raw material sources to satisfy ever-changing buyers’ requirements.

 In addition, we have eight existing FTAs with different nations, including CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) and EVFTA (EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement). We support our environment towards sustainability and innovations by adopting more sustainable dyeing/washing processes, which include waterless and non-harmful chemicals that protect our workers and the environment.

 Lastly, the good support from our government is also a plus factor.

What are the latest innovative products from your stable which you feel proud about?

 We have several sustainable and functional fabrics that are part of our best-selling items. Our S-Café, made from coffee granules, is a big hit with our local brands, and our functional Cool Max all seasons are also making waves locally and internationally.

European governments are steadily coming out with regulations relating to sustainability. How do these regulations affect you – are you changing your technologies to be ready for the same ?

Our market share in Europe is still minimal, and since the EU is an important market, some practices and procedures are already in place in our production cycle. Our technology and process upgrades, like investing in water-saving dyeing machines, are coming, and the ERP system will be implemented soon. Our product line also consists of organic cotton, recyclable yarns, and biodegradable materials. We have global certifications such as the Higg Index, GRS/RCS, and OEKO-TEX. We are traveling to Europe in September to learn more about the EU market and its comprehensive requirements.

What do you think will be the effect on Tariffs by USA in the denim industry specially from Vietnam’s perspective?

Tariffs will strongly impact the denim industry in Vietnam, especially since we do not have an FTA agreement with the USA. However, Vietnam is not the focus of the US government due to our strong relationship with them. Besides, we are the preferred alternative to China by most US buyers.

 With Vietnam’sstrong manufacturing ecosystem, shifting global sourcing trends, and focus on sustainability, we are in a better position.

 What are the main products that you shall be showcasing in the Denims and jeans Vietnam show in June 2025?

This year, we are focusing on showing our denim collection made from our sustainable and functional fabrics such as S-Café, Tencel, Recycle Yarns, Coolmax, Thermolite, and denim made from US Cotton, rigid, blended, and with Lycra or Spandex.
