On January 6, 2026, the Dak Nong Aluminum Smelter Project in Vietnam achieved a major milestone with the successful one-time installation of the lower shell of its first electrolytic cell. This marks the official start of core equipment installation for Vietnam’s first aluminum smelter. The project is being implemented under an EPC contract by NFC and officially broke ground on June 3, 2025.

As the EPC contractor, the NFC project team has worked closely with the project owner, Tran Hong Quan Metallurgical Co., Ltd. (THQ), coordinating all participating parties to advance construction in an efficient and orderly manner. While strictly ensuring safety and quality, the project team is accelerating progress with the goal of completing four key milestones ahead of schedule, laying a solid foundation for on-time project delivery.?

Building on the successful installation of the first electrolytic cell, the project team will continue to uphold a rigorous, pragmatic, and highly collaborative approach to ensure the Dak Nong Aluminum Smelter Project advances safely, with high quality and efficiency, contributing solidly to the deepening of China–Vietnam industrial capacity cooperation.
