Freudenberg inaugurates thermal insulation factory in Vietnam

"With the opening of our first production site in Vietnam we are set to meet the thriving demand in the Southeast Asian and South Asian garment manufacturing industries, reinforcing both our presence in and commitment to the region," said John McNabb, chief technology officer at Freudenberg Performance Materials. "By localising the production of our thermal insulation materials in Vietnam, we are not only reducing lead times for our customers but also streamlining the supply chain, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value for customers."

The Vietnamese facility is equipped to produce sustainable thermal insulations, providing customers with options that align with their sustainable garment production initiatives and goals, the company said in a press release.

This additional new factory extends Freudenberg Apparel's thermal insulation production across key Asian markets, including the Chinese mainland and South Korea. It also significantly strengthens Freudenberg Apparel’s global production capabilities and supply network. This expansion will bolster the company's competitive edge in Asia and reaffirms its ongoing dedication to innovation and evolution within the apparel industry.
