LG Innotek breaks ground on a 330,000 m² semiconductor substrate factory in Hai Phong
Summary (Sapo): LG Innotek – a subsidiary specializing in electronic components and semiconductors under LG Group (South Korea) – has officially announced plans to build a new semiconductor substrate production facility in Hai Phong city. The project covers approximately 330,000 m², with construction expected to begin in July 2026 and completion scheduled for May 2027, aiming to meet global demand for artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and 6G network infrastructure.
Plan to expand production scale in Hai Phong
According to information published by the Korea Times, LG Innotek has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Hai Phong city government at its headquarters in Seoul (South Korea) regarding the investment in building a new production plant. The investment will be implemented directly through LG Innotek's subsidiary in Vietnam.
The new factory complex has an expected area of approximately 330,000 m² (equivalent to the size of 45 football fields). According to the roadmap, the project will officially break ground in July 2026 and is expected to be completed and put into operation around mid-2027 (tentatively May 2027).
A representative of LG Innotek stated that the decision to continue choosing Hai Phong as an investment destination is based on three core advantages:
Existing operational experience: The enterprise has a foundation of effective operation and management in the locality from previous projects.
Linked ecosystem: Favorable geographical location, situated near major semiconductor packaging and testing corporations in the region.
Operational efficiency: Highly competitive production costs along with the port city's synchronized seaport – expressway logistics infrastructure.
Perspective on the industrial infrastructure construction market
The event of LG Innotek breaking ground on a 330,000 m² semiconductor factory complex in Hai Phong is proof that Vietnam is becoming an important link in the global semiconductor supply chain.
From a construction perspective, semiconductor substrate production projects always set the highest strict technical standards:
Cleanroom system: Requires high standards for absolute control of dust, temperature, and humidity to ensure the microchip production environment.
Structure and load-bearing floor: Requires factory floors with ultra-precise flatness and vibration resistance to install precise lithography and packaging lines.
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) infrastructure & Green standards: Continuous industrial power supply systems, chemical waste/gas treatment meeting strict environmental standards, and integration of green building solutions.
The emergence of high-tech mega-projects like LG Innotek not only reinforces Hai Phong's position as an "industrial capital" but also brings significant cooperation opportunities for Vietnamese contractors with the capability to build smart factories and manage projects according to international standards.
