Strategy to enhance the Vietnamese brand

In recent years, Vietnam’s national brand value and ranking on the international stage have continually increased and been recognised by many prestigious international organisations. In addition to macroeconomic, political, cultural and social factors, such success also features the contributions of the business community.

Building service quality on par with world standards

In recent years, the strategy of developing synchronous airport infrastructure and modernising the management and operation process has brought about significant changes in the scale, appearance and service quality of the airports run by the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV).

In addition to national key projects such as Long Thanh International Airport, ACV has also worked to expand and modernise existing airports to serve the aviation sector’s rapid growth and promote its core role in the development strategy of Vietnam’s aviation industry, making strong advances and gradually becoming a national brand with a global reach.

ACV has always paid attention to ensuring absolute security and safety in airport operation. With a wealth of experience gained from strict compliance with aviation laws and standards, ACV helps to ensure absolute security and safety for flight activities and promote the development of Vietnam’s civil aviation sector. This has created ACV’s special brand value. Furthermore, investing in synchronous infrastructure, vehicles and equipment at airports has helped boost demand, drive the aviation market and promote socio-economic development in places where there are airports.

Persisting with the sustainable development goal, ACV has aligned its business growth with social responsibility by conducting fair competition to advance social progress and work towards sustainability for future generations. To create synchronicity in standards and look towards perfection in airport management and service, all of ACV’s business activities are carried out with customer satisfaction in mind. Transparency, honesty, quality commitment and dedication in all airport services are the factors to build reputation, increase the brand value, and bring benefits to the community and harmonised interests between the business owner and employees.

As the leading airport service provider in Vietnam, ACV has always ensured absolute security and aviation safety to expand the gateway to welcome international visitors to Vietnam, contributing to the country's deeper and broader international integration.

Viglacera products are always researched and developed on a foundation of integrated features: environmentally friendly, energy-saving and consumer health protection.

Viglacera’s products, which are distinctive and pioneering in the market, include AAC autoclaved aerated concrete bricks and ALC panels, recognised as members of the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), helping to replace traditional red bricks.
