Cho said the Hyosung Group is striving to bring its total investment in Vietnam up to US$6 billion, adding that the group is planning to invest in electricity projects in Vietnam, particularly by supplying high voltage power transformers which are sought after in the country.
The group wants to partner with and transfer technologies to Vietnamese manufacturers of power transformers so as to make Vietnam an exporter of the product, he said. Hyosung is a leading producer of all classes of power transformers, ranging up to 765kV in the RoK. Its products have been available in 70 countries and territories across the globe.
