To dominate the market
Mr. Tran said that in last months of this year, Sang Ban Mai Corporation signed many contracts with domestic partners. In early November, Sang Ban Mai and Da Nang Port Corporation officially signed a contract to supply and install two SBMPOWER electricity generators with capacity of 550KVA and 2,250KVA, worth more than VND 8.1 billion. "To sign this package, Sang Ban Mai Company surpassed nearly 10 contractors including imported trademarks after two rounds of public, transparent and fair online bidding. Sang Ban Mai Company was awarded the contract by Da Nang Port for conforming to technical requirements and offering competitive prices", Mr. Tran said.
In Binh Duong, this company has also won a contract of providing 1100KVA machine for provincial General Hospital with a value of nearly VND 4 billion. Mr. Tran said that these contracts were really a great motivation to the company after a long way of building and promoting their brand. This is also a big push for the company to rise up in the development of product quality. He wishes that in the coming time, all administrative sectors and localities could create favorable conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to participate in bidding for public investment packages, to develop sustainably on their own home ground.
Currently, M&E enterprises in the province master manufacturing technologies of some types of engines, machines, devices of high quality to serve the domestic and foreign manufacturing industries, but there are still difficulties. Dao Minh Ngoc, Director of Phuong Vy Company (Thuan An City) said that first of all, Vietnam's M&E industry is quite diverse in terms of products but is facing increasingly fierce competition with imported products. He expressed his desire that the government would continue to strengthen their supporting role, especially to support small, medium and micro-sized enterprises in ensuring a favorable business environment, low market entry costs, encourage private capital.
