Pomina Flat Steel has never left the market. We always define our responsibility to contribute to export turnover, fulfilling the dual goals set by the government of combating the pandemic and developing the economy. During the complex developments of the Covid-19 pandemic, we continuously executed export orders to the European and American markets.

  1. Since joining the market in 2019, what differences have created a strong brand for Pomina Flat Steel that quickly gained consumer trust?

As a member of the Pomina Flat Steel Corporation, Pomina Flat Steel inherited the core values of building and developing consumer trust in products.

 From the outset, we introduced distinct product lines catering to specific customer segments, such as Solar hot dip aluminium zinc coated steel coil tailored for harsh weather conditions like coastal environments, ShieldViet icecloud meeting stringent criteria of large projects, or Pomina Granite Sheets for high-aesthetic buildings like villas and townhouses. All these products have been warmly received by the market and customers.

Pomina's cold-rolled sheets exported to the French market meet the European BS EN 10346 standard. To date, Pomina Flat Steel products are available in all 63 provinces, spanning from North to South, with most distributors being major customers and partners. This is a significant success, and we will continue to leverage this strength.
