Bridging the Gap Between Western Buyers and Vietnam’s Manufacturing Hub.
Hello, I’m Long Nguyen. I am a Hanoi-based technology professional and manufacturing consultant.
With the global shift in supply chains (“China Plus One”), I saw a dangerous gap in the market: Western buyers were rushing to Vietnam but flying blind. They couldn’t read the local contracts, didn’t understand the labor laws, and couldn’t distinguish between a real factory and a “shell” company.
Why Trust This Site? Unlike other sourcing blogs written by travel nomads or remote freelancers, I live and work here in Hanoi—the heart of Vietnam’s electronics and industrial manufacturing sector.
Trilingual Advantage: I speak English, Chinese, and Vietnamese. This allows me to verify information from the source—reading Chinese factory announcements, Vietnamese government labor decrees, and English technical requirements.
Technical Background: As a software engineer by trade, I approach sourcing with a developer’s logic: verify, test, and debug. I look at technical specs, not just sales brochures.
On The Ground: I am not an agency. I don’t take commissions. I provide transparent, verified intelligence on the Northern Vietnam industrial landscape.
My Mission: To provide the most accurate, data-backed guide for manufacturing in Vietnam. No fluff. just the reality of doing business in Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Bac Giang.
