Savills joins Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone as strategic Property Manager

Ho Chi Minh City, September 2026 - Tan Thuan Corporation (TTC) has appointed Savills Vietnam as Property Manager for Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone. The appointment supports the continued development of the 300-hectare zone as it looks to attract a new generation of technology-driven and high-value-added businesses.

Developed by Tan Thuan Corporation, a joint venture between Tan Thuan Industrial Promotion Company (IPC) and Taiwan-based Central Trading and Development Corporation (CT&D), Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone has played a pioneering role in Viet Nam’s export processing sector for more than three decades.

From a pioneering export processing zone to an integrated business ecosystem

Over more than 30 years, Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone has expanded beyond its original export processing function to accommodate a broader range of business activities and operational requirements.

The 300-hectare development comprises four key functional areas: the Export Processing Zone, Industrial Zone, Commercial Zone and E-Office Park. Together, they accommodate manufacturing, warehousing, office and commercial activities within one established location.

Existing infrastructure and supporting facilities allow businesses to establish operations more efficiently, while the zone’s connectivity to key areas of Ho Chi Minh City supports access for businesses, employees and partners.

An established international business community

Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone is home to 250 companies from 22 countries, creating an established international business community across manufacturing, commercial and service sectors.

As the business landscape evolves, TTC is looking to attract a new generation of investment, with a focus on high-tech, software, research and development (R&D), and other high-value-added businesses.

This direction forms part of TTC’s continued development of Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone into a more diversified business environment capable of responding to the changing requirements of modern enterprises.

Tsao Chung Hung, General Director, Tan Thuan Corporation, stated: “Tan Thuan Zone has evolved significantly over the past three decades, and its next chapter will bring new types of businesses and increasingly diverse operational needs. We see value in working with a partner that understands the realities of industrial properties. With Savills experience in the sector, we are open to exploring new approaches together as we continue to enhance the property’s operating environment.”

Supporting reliable operations across the zone

Managing a development of this scale requires coordination across shared infrastructure, utilities and essential site services. With industrial, commercial and office functions operating within the same zone, consistent management is important to maintaining a safe and reliable environment for businesses.

Savills will apply an integrated management approach that brings technical operations; general services such as admin, accounting and civil works; as well as supporting services including security, cleaning and landscaping within a coordinated framework. The approach focuses on preventive management, early identification of operational issues and coordinated responses to help minimise disruption across the property.

Structured operational and financial processes, supported by documentation, monitoring and reporting, will also provide greater visibility across the development and support consistent management standards.

Luca Vadala, Head of Integrated Facility Management Services, Savills Vietnam, shared: “At this scale, property management is not simply about maintaining facilities. It is about creating the operating conditions that allow businesses to focus on their core activities with confidence. By bringing together specialist expertise, technology - our inhouse Property Cube app, and proactive management, we aim to support a reliable environment that can respond to the needs of businesses across the property.”

The appointment brings together Tan Thuan Corporation’s established infrastructure and long-term development plans with Savills property management expertise. As Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone continues to evolve, the partnership will focus on supporting an operating environment that can respond to the needs of both existing occupiers and new businesses entering the zone.
