The recent conclusion of FBC ASEAN 2025 (Vietnam Supporting Industry Exhibition) was more than just a typical trade fair; it was a powerful declaration of the vitality and potential for breakthrough development within Vietnam's supporting industry. Impressive figures, the presence of industry giants, and a historical milestone in venue management have all painted an optimistic picture for the future.
The seminar "SMART QUALITY CONTROL, FROM PRODUCTION TO QC", co-organized by V-PROUD and FABE Group, with sponsorship from Scantech and Phaos Technology, successfully concluded on April 23rd, 2025, at the Grand Mercure Hotel in Hai Phong.
The seminar focused on introducing the latest technologies and trends in the field of automating measurement and quality control processes. With Vietnamese enterprises increasingly focusing on improving productivity, optimizing costs, and ensuring product quality, the seminar organized by V-Proud provided practical and effective solutions.
The recent conclusion of FBC ASEAN 2025 (Vietnam Supporting Industry Exhibition) was more than just a typical trade fair; it was a powerful declaration of the vitality and potential for breakthrough development within Vietnam's supporting industry. Impressive figures, the presence of industry giants, and a historical milestone in venue management have all painted an optimistic picture for the future.
The first, and perhaps most symbolic, noteworthy point is the fact that the VEC (Vietnam Exhibition Center) accepted a private unit to organize an event at its facility for the first time. This marks a significant turning point in the mindset regarding the management and utilization of state-owned venues. It not only demonstrates trust in the organizational capacity of private entities like V-Proud JSC but also signals a more flexible and open approach from regulatory bodies, creating favorable conditions for professional trade promotion activities.
The "heat" of the industry was further evidenced by the record-breaking setup speed: over 300 businesses took only 24 hours to complete their booth setup. This pace speaks volumes not only about the professionalism and efficiency of the organizing team but also reflects the high expectations and readiness of the participating businesses themselves. They clearly recognize FBC ASEAN as a golden opportunity to showcase their capabilities, seek partners, and secure potential orders. This speed and decisiveness are the clearest manifestations of an industry that is "burning bright" and hungry for growth.
After three days, FBC ASEAN 2025 left its mark with a series of astonishing figures, confirming the scale and quality of the event:
500 Booths: With 80% being manufacturing and processing enterprises, the exhibition correctly focused its attention, creating a detailed "map" of the current production capacity in Vietnam and among international partners.
20 Major Buyers (both international and domestic) such as Panasonic, Samsung, Fuji Film, Toto, Mitsubishi Electric, etc.: The presence of these multinational corporations serves as a strong endorsement of the quality of the suppliers on display. They didn't come just to "look"; they came to "buy" and "place orders".
Nearly 14,000 Visitors: The substantial volume of specialized visitors is evidence of the real interest from the business community and investors, ensuring that the meetings held here were of high quality and immediate commercial effectiveness.
Estimated Transaction Value of 50 Million USD: This figure is the most concrete measure of the exhibition's success. It's not just revenue; it is the lifeblood fueling the growth of small and medium-sized supporting industry enterprises. This is undeniable proof that the Vietnamese supporting industry is gradually meeting the stringent standards of the global supply chain.
The event succeeded in creating an efficient and centralized playing field (a One-Stop Sourcing Hub), significantly shortening the distance between Vietnamese spare parts and component manufacturers and leading assembly and manufacturing corporations.
The success of FBC ASEAN 2025 is not solely confined to the signed transactions. In their sincere message of gratitude, V-Proud JSC did not fail to mention the "Journey of accompanying the sustainable development of enterprises in Vietnam". This reveals that the organizer's vision is not just an annual exhibition but a long-term mission to support businesses in optimizing production efficiency.
"Be Proud of Vietnam" – this slogan is not merely a call for national pride but also a commitment to quality and professionalism. For Vietnam to be truly proud of its industry, continuous effort is required from private enterprises, regulatory bodies, and especially the "silent warriors" like the organizing team, who worked tirelessly to create a professional stage.
FBC ASEAN 2025 has concluded, but it is the beginning of a new growth cycle. Vietnam's supporting industry stands before a historic opportunity to deepen its participation in the global supply chain, particularly as these chains are being reshaped. However, for today's $50 million to become $500 million tomorrow, Vietnam needs to continue:
Enhancing the quality of human resources and technology to meet the increasingly strict standards of major buyers.
Simplifying procedures and providing favorable conditions regarding space/infrastructure (as VEC has done) to encourage specialized events and manufacturing investment.
Maintaining the professionalism, credibility, and connectivity that FBC ASEAN has established.
We are fully entitled to be optimistic about FBC ASEAN 2026, scheduled for September 16-18, 2026. If the figures and the spirit of enthusiasm from this year are sustained and multiplied, Vietnam's supporting industry will undoubtedly reach new heights, solidifying the country's position on the world manufacturing map. It is an ongoing journey, where every conversation and every handshake is a tremendous source of inspiration for sustainable development.
