HIEP PHU Green Packaging: Merging Cutting-Edge Technology and Sustainability, Partnering with Koenig & Bauer to Redefine Vietnam’s Printing Industry

Koenig & Bauer and HIEP PHU: Co-creating the Future of Printing

On the sweltering summer day of July 19th, Fudy Group’s North Vietnam subsidiary, HIEP PHU Green Packaging Technology Co., Ltd., partnered with global printing equipment leader Koenig & Bauer to host a significant New Technology Customer Open Day event. This gathering showcased the latest printing technologies and highlighted HIEP PHU’s leadership in North Vietnam and its firm commitment to sustainable development.

As a crucial outpost of the Fudy Group in Haiphong, Vietnam, HIEP PHU Green Packaging Technology has quickly become a new force in the local packaging and printing industry since its official operation last May. With an eye on a more robust global development strategy, Fudy Group has been gradually expanding its footprint from South Vietnam to North Vietnam since 2015, aligning with clients’ needs as they shift production to ASEAN countries.

HIEP PHU’s Competitive Advantage: Advanced Machinery and End-to-End Packaging Solutions

HIEP PHU’s competitive advantage is evident in its impressive hard power. We not only own North Vietnam’s first RA105-6+L FAPC ALV2 and RA164-6+L FAPC ALV2 high-end printing presses but have also built a complete packaging and printing production line. From pre-press to printing and post-press processing, our comprehensive equipment ensures high efficiency and quality throughout production.

In establishing our state-of-the-art factory, HIEP PHU strategically adopted the Koenig & Bauer Rapida star production line, mirroring the advanced setups of Fudy Group’s Suzhou Fuyang and Dongguan Fuyang plants. We’ve invested in the RA164-6+L, a cutting-edge six-color plus coating offset press featuring top-tier configurations such as fully automatic plate changing. This advanced press, complemented by other Koenig & Bauer medium-format equipment, forms the backbone of our end-to-end packaging solutions. By integrating these high-performance machines into our production line, we’ve created a comprehensive system that enables us to offer global end customers superior quality and value-added packaging services across the entire production process.

Moreover, HIEP PHU has set up an ISTA 2A test laboratory, enabling us to offer comprehensive packaging solutions to our clients and control quality from design and production to testing.

At a recent event, Mr. Hsu Sheng-Sung, General Manager of HIEP PHU Green Packaging Technology Co., Ltd., emphasized our commitment to advanced technology and comprehensive solutions. He stated, ‘Our recent visits to the drupa exhibition and Koenig & Bauer’s headquarters exposed us to groundbreaking technologies like the VariJET 106 seven-color digital printing press. This aligns perfectly with our strategy of adopting advanced machinery to enhance our competitive edge. The Koenig & Bauer Rapida 164 and 105 printing presses we’ve introduced are the first new models in Vietnam. Over the past year, leveraging Koenig & Bauer’s superior product competitiveness, we’ve significantly elevated our service capabilities. This enables us to offer end-to-end solutions that meet the high standards of consumer electronics clients while addressing environmental concerns in packaging production. I’m proud to say that HIEP PHU is emerging as a notable player in Vietnam’s packaging and printing industry, thanks to our advanced machinery and comprehensive packaging solutions.’

HIEP PHU’s Sustainable Edge: ESG Leadership and Global Certifications

HIEP PHU’s competitive edge extends beyond advanced machinery to encompass ESG leadership and global certifications. We recognize that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) has become a crucial factor in corporate development in today’s market. To this end, HIEP PHU has spared no effort to enhance its performance in this area.
