Binh Duong province, 10th October 2019 – Panasonic Life Solutions Vietnam (PLSVN), a member of Panasonic Vietnam Group companies, organized a groundbreaking ceremony for the new factory in Binh Duong province with the attendance of Panasonic’s official agent - Fortune Electric Co., Ltd in Vietnam. This is the second time PLSVN expanded its manufacturing since its establishment in January 2013. The new factory will begin operations in January 2021, covering an area of 24,000 square meters of the total 50,000 square meters land for future growth.

As urbanization is increasing rapidly in Vietnam and the country is facing challenges of air quality, PLSVN will focus on indoor air quality in the next phrase while continuing to provide safety consumer electronics solutions as well as to improve the quality of life for Vietnamese houses. PLSVN was originally established as a manufacturer of electrical construction materials such as switches, plugs and switchgears to meet the rapid growth demands of the construction industry in Vietnam. In this expansion, the second factory will manufacture ceiling fans and ventilation fans which is part of Panasonic Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions.
