According to HAMEE Vice President Diep Bao Canh, this is the first time the association’s member companies have sought business cooperation opportunities in the US, intending to bring their mechanical products and other Vietnamese products to the US.

Some HAMEE members have been selling their products in the US market and receiving higher evaluations compared to those from other Southeast Asian countries, he noted.

US businesses and Asian American enterprises showed their admiration for the development of smart technology and the qualifications and skills of Vietnamese young workforce.

Vietnamese-American entrepreneur Kien Pham, owner of a company specialising in apartment construction services, said after this forum, his firm will collaborate with HAMEE members on several steel structure and electrical products.

On the occasion, HAMEE and AACC signed a memorandum of understanding on strengthening trade and investment cooperation, promoting exchanges of business delegations between the two countries, and participating in seminars, special studies, and exhibitions in the two countries and the region.

Previously, HAMEE’s members took part in the second International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2024 in Chicago, which brought together reputable manufacturers and buyers. The exhibition provided a good chance for Vietnamese mechanical-electrical companies and supporting industries to showcase and affirm the quality of their products.
