Phu Tho enterprises maintain production during Tet
Entering early 2026, as the Lunar New Year of Binh Ngo is approaching, many businesses in Phu Tho province are still maintaining a stable production rhythm, creating an important foundation for industrial growth right from the first months of the year.
According to the reporter's records in key industrial parks, many businesses have quickly returned to production immediately after the New Year holiday. The rate of workers returning to the factory is high, the lines are operating continuously to meet the order progress at the beginning of the year.
Some exporting enterprises said that the order has been signed since the end of 2025 and extended to the first quarter of 2026, focusing on the electronics, mechanical, textile and wood processing industries. Not breaking the production chain during the transition period from the old year to the new year is contributing to stabilizing the growth rate for the province's industrial sector.
At Viet Thien Garment Company Limited, in Vinh Tuong commune, the bustling working atmosphere takes place throughout the workshops. The enterprise specializing in exporting garments currently creates stable jobs for more than 2,000 workers with an average income of over 8 million VND/person/month. To keep up with the progress of transitional orders to the beginning of the new year, the enterprise has arranged additional shifts, ensuring the delivery progress is on schedule.
Ms. Tran Thi Mai Ngoc, a worker in the 01 production department, said: Although they have to work overtime, workers are still excited because their jobs are stable and their income is improved. Overtime benefits are paid in full and on time, along with many incentive policies to help us feel secure in sticking with them.
Not only domestic enterprises, but also foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises have maintained a positive production rhythm. At Compal Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Ba Thien Industrial Park) - a unit specializing in assembling electronic components, the lines are centralized to meet large export contracts.
According to Mr. KC Chen - Senior Deputy General Director of Compal Vietnam Co., Ltd., in 2026, the enterprise plans to expand production scale, build more factories and recruit about 2,000 workers, bringing the total number of employees to nearly 16,000 people. Along with that, salary and welfare policies continue to be focused on to retain workers, creating a foundation for sustainable development in the context of increasingly fierce human resource competition.
The efforts to maintain and accelerate production of Phu Tho enterprises are accompanied by local authorities through administrative procedure reform, improving the investment environment and promptly removing difficulties. This is also an important premise for the province to enter 2026 with positive growth momentum, when GRDP in 2025 is estimated to increase by 10.5%, the highest ever, in which the industrial - construction sector continues to play a key role.
From the perspective of the Trade Union organization, Mr. Tong Duc Chien - Member of the Standing Committee of the Phu Tho Provincial Federation of Labor - said that maintaining stable production in the period near Tet has a positive impact on the employment and income of workers.
In 2026, Trade Unions at all levels will continue to closely coordinate with enterprises to monitor the implementation of salary and welfare regimes, promptly support and encourage workers to work with peace of mind. This is a key factor for businesses to maintain stable production and create momentum for sustainable growth" - Mr. Chien emphasized.
