Xiaomi Corp, based in China, announced the production of its first batch of smartphones in Vietnam on Thursday, as the company seeks to expand its presence in Southeast Asia.
The devices were made at a factory in the province of Thai Nguyen, north of Hanoi, according to an emailed statement from the company. DBG Technology, a Xiaomi partner, operates the plant.
In recent years, Vietnam has emerged as a regional manufacturing hub for global electronics manufacturers. Last year, the country’s smartphone export value increased 12.4 percent to $57.5 billion, primarily due to Samsung Electronics.
Xiaomi said the first batch of its smartphones made in Vietnam had been delivered to a local distributor, and that the company would soon export smartphones to other Southeast Asian markets such as Malaysia and Thailand.
The company did not provide any additional information about its production capacity in Vietnam.
