In Viet Nam’s industrial sector, finding the right site means tackling a complex mix of logistics, regulations, and growth planning. With the market evolving rapidly and global demand increasing, businesses need more than just space, they need locations that match their long-term goals. This is where the expertise of Savills Industrial Services proves invaluable.
John Campbell, Director and Head of Industrial Services, leads a national team that is deeply involved in understanding each client’s needs. “When we take on a project, our focus extends beyond the immediate needs. It is about how this decision will support the client’s growth five, even ten years down the line,” John explains. This forward-thinking approach has earned the team a reputation as a strategic partner in the industry.
One of their most notable projects was with Coca-Cola Viet Nam, which required a 190,000 sq m site. This process was not about finding just any large space. The team thoroughly assessed Coca-Cola’s logistics, labor, operational and infrastructure requirements, and future expansion plans. Their insights as the project’s site search consultant ensured that the shortlisted sites and selected property would support the company’s growth down the line.
The country’s industrial market is constantly evolving, especially with recent changes in land laws that bring both opportunities and challenges. “The new land law is reshaping how companies approach industrial real estate,” John points out. “It creates new possibilities but also requires strategic planning. Our role is to offer clarity and insights that align with each client’s goals.”
