This year, all employees in Hoa Sen had stable jobs, guaranteed income and good remuneration, so even though the workers had to go to the factory during Tet, they were still very excited.

Hoa Sen has "made the first purchase" in the new year with large-value galvanised steel products exported to the US, Mexico, Europe and Southeast Asia from the port clusters of Phu My, Quy Nhon and Nghi Son. As a result, in January and February 2021, although it was the Tet holiday period, Hoa Sen's export volume continued to exceed 100,000 tonnes/month, bringing in an estimated revenue of $70-80 million/month.
