At the meeting, Atsushi Sakate, Executive Vice President of Meiko Group, provided an update on the group’s printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing facility, a major development at the Da River Left Bank Industrial Park (IP).

Sakate said since breaking ground in April 2024, Meiko has accelerated construction, addressed environmental requirements, and set up wastewater treatment and employment processes, all in an effort to stay on track with the projected timeline.

However, he pointed out several challenges that are slowing progress and requested provincial support to keep the project on schedule. They included expediting the Hoa Binh city master plan and detailed zoning for the IP, raising the allowed building height to five stories, and increasing the land allocated for wastewater treatment to boost capacity to 10,000 cubic meters per day.

Sakate also urged provincial authorities to ensure the wastewater treatment facility is operational by December 2024 to align with Meiko’s production schedule.

Additionally, he requested an expedited handover of the facility to the designated management unit and quicker processing of environmental assessments and permits for the expanded capacity.

In response, Secretary Long directed the provincial working group, led by the head of the provincial IP Management Board, to collaborate with relevant departments and Hoa Binh city authorities to address Meiko’s concerns swiftly.

 

He emphasised the importance of ensuring an efficient and regulation-compliant investment process to support the project’s success.

The Secretary also instructed the Hoa Binh People’s Committee to work with Meiko Hoa Binh Electronics Co., Ltd., and infrastructure investor Da Hop to advance planning for the city area and the IP.

Under the guidance of the Party Committee, the provincial People’s Committee will collaborate with key departments to facilitate the handover of the wastewater treatment facility to Da Hop, further supporting infrastructure development and project sustainability in Hoa Binh.
