Camel Beer invests US$107M in Vietnam brewery, beverage plant
The new Can Tho facility will expand Camel’s production capacity, improve access to southern markets and support the brewer’s nationwide distribution and future export plans.
VIETNAM – Camel Beer Co., Ltd has broken ground on a VND2.78 trillion ($106.78 million) beer and beverage plant in Can Tho, southern Vietnam, as the brewer expands its production capacity and distribution network.
The Camel Hau Giang plant will be built on 10.7 hectares at Tan Phu Thanh Industrial Park. The first phase requires an investment of more than VND1.8 trillion ($69.19 million), with annual production capacity of 150 million litres. Commercial production is expected to begin in 2027.
Once fully operational, the facility will have capacity to produce 200 million litres of beer and 200 million litres of non-alcoholic beverages annually, bringing total output to 400 million litres.
According to Camel’s financial plan, the plant is expected to generate average annual revenue of about VND5.7 trillion ($219.1 million) and contribute approximately VND1.5 trillion ($57.66 million) to the state budget.
The facility is planned with modern production lines and a high degree of automation, while meeting requirements covering product quality, safety and environmental protection.
Nguyen Thanh Long, Camel’s general director of domestic commercial operations, said the plant would become one of the company’s important production bases in southern Vietnam.
“Upon commencement of operations, we expect this to become one of Camel’s important production bases in the South, helping the Group to be more proactive in terms of supply capacity, shorten the distance from the factory to the market, improve service quality and competitiveness,” Long said.
He added that products manufactured at the facility would gain faster access to markets in the Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City and southeastern Vietnam.
The plant will also connect with Camel’s nationwide distribution network and support the company’s future export strategy.
Vietnam beer market expands
The investment comes as Vietnam’s beer market continues to attract industry investment. According to Expert Market Research, the country’s beer market is projected to reach $19.27 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of about 6.6% between 2026 and 2035.
The Can Tho facility is expected to strengthen Camel’s supply capabilities in southern Vietnam while adding production capacity for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
