15% Rise in revenue

 

It marked a 15 percent year-on-year rise despite the challenges to keeping factories going and sourcing parts amid Covid-19, he said.

 

Exports accounted for 89 percent of the revenues, he added.

 

The company is building a $220-million research and development center in Hanoi, the first of its kind outside of its home country.
