Besi Plans €10-12M Investment for New Semiconductor Production Facility in Vietnam

Besi, the leading Dutch supplier of semiconductor assembly equipment, plans to allocate between €10 million and €12 million in capital expenditures in 2026 primarily for constructing a new production facility in Vietnam.

This expansion underscores Besi's strategic pivot toward Southeast Asia to better serve customers shifting supply chains away from China.

Besi's Investment Journey in Vietnam

Besi first ventured into Vietnam in 2023 by securing a license for a $5 million factory in Ho Chi Minh City.

The facility was inaugurated in February 2024, marking the start of local operations.

By July 2024, Besi committed an additional $42 million to scale up the project amid rising demand.

Strategic Reorganization and Production Focus

Production capabilities took shape throughout 2024 and saw further growth in 2025.

The new plant will manufacture machines essential for semiconductor item production, aligning with Besi's Asia-centric supply chain overhaul.

This initiative forms part of Besi's extensive global plans, including $1 billion earmarked for Vietnam alongside investments in Malaysia and Singapore.

Implications for Vietnam's Semiconductor Boom

Vietnam's semiconductor sector gains momentum, as evidenced by Samsung's subsidiaries posting $3.7 billion in profits in 2025 despite global tariffs.

Analysts predict Besi's expansions will enhance Vietnam's role as a vital hub in the global chip industry.

Looking ahead, sustained investments could drive economic growth and job creation in the region.
