The event was attended by the executive leadership of both companies and signified a major milestone in CENTRAL’s strategic expansion—from a leading General Contractor to an investor in infrastructure investment and development.

CENTRAL’s Strategic Expansion into Infrastructure

The partnership with 620, a company renowned for its expertise in bridge and road construction, underscores CENTRAL’s long-term vision to strengthen competitiveness, expand operational scale, and contribute more significantly to national socio-economic development.

Mr. Tran Quang Tuan, Chairman and CEO of CENTRAL, stated: “Becoming a shareholder of 620 opens the door to a host of key infrastructure projects. The synergy between our two companies will optimize resources and improve execution efficiency, particularly in large-scale bridge and road works, where 620 leads the market with nearly VND 1,450 billion in annual revenue and industry-leading pre-stressed beam casting technology.”

620 – A Solid Foundation in Infrastructure

Originally established as 620 Long An Concrete Jsc in 2005, in 620 Infrastructure Development And Investment Corporation made its mark early with the Saigon–Trung Luong Expressway, supplying 1,817 Super T-beams worth VND 500 billion. Following its privatization in 2006, the company rapidly evolved into a major player in Vietnam’s infrastructure sector, especially in bridge and road construction.

In Bridge construction, 620 is known as a pioneer in Super T-beam and pre-stressed beam technology—modern solutions for overpasses, expressways, and major national routes. Its large-scale component manufacturing and assembly capabilities have positioned the company as a preferred contractor for complex, high-specification projects. In the Road sector, 620 brings extensive experience in subgrade works, cement concrete and asphalt paving, and has executed major highway and industrial zone infrastructure packages, delivering modern, sustainable transport routes that meet the country’s growing mobility needs.

What sets 620 apart is its integrated capacity across both bridge and road construction—from advanced beam production to foundation and surface execution—placing it among the Top 16 largest hybrid road-bridge contractors in Vietnam. This robust platform will empower CENTRAL in its mission to drive national infrastructure development.

A Partnership for the Future

Looking ahead, CENTRAL and 620 plan to implement a series of strategic initiatives, including on-site beam casting yards, sheet pile and bored pile production facilities, and concrete mixing stations—aiming to establish a decisive competitive edge in major infrastructure projects.

Mr. Pham Thanh Dien, Chairman of 620, emphasized: “Having CENTRAL as a strategic shareholder marks a strong step forward, reflecting our shared commitment to advancing national infrastructure. As the entire country operates like a vast construction site, we stand ready with CENTRAL to strengthen the construction sector and support investors in delivering modern, enduring infrastructure projects.”

Long-Term Vision and Commitment

This strategic investment not only reaffirms CENTRAL’s position as one of Vietnam’s top-tier General Contractors but also signals its commitment to sustainable development. By expanding into the infrastructure sector—especially bridges and roads, critical pillars of national growth—CENTRAL is laying the foundation for future success. Together, CENTRAL and 620 are poised to leverage their strengths, deliver exceptional value, and contribute meaningfully to the transformation of Vietnam’s urban landscape and infrastructure capabilities in the years ahead.

On the morning of June 23, 2025, Mr. Frank Cui, General Director, Global Business Development of Glodon, along with representatives from Glodon Vietnam, visited the headquarters of CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company to present the prestigious “Vietnam 5D BIM Contest 2025” award. The visit not only recognized the outstanding efforts of CENTRAL’s engineering team in advancing digital construction management but also marked a significant milestone in the strategic partnership between CENTRAL and Glodon.

At the competition organized by Glodon, CENTRAL secured two distinguished awards:

• Team Award: “Best Cubicost Application 2025” for the Estuary Tuyen Son project in Da Nang.
• Individual Award: Engineer Vo Thanh Thien for his inspiring submission titled “Cubicost 5D BIM – A Journey of Pioneers.”

The award ceremony was attended by Mr. Tran Quang Tuan, Chairman and CEO of CENTRAL, along with the BIM engineering team — key contributors to shaping the future of the construction industry through technological innovation.

Glodon representatives praised CENTRAL for its robust and systematic implementation of BIM technology in construction execution and project management.

• “Cubic”, representing the 3D BIM modeling foundation,
• “Cost”, emphasizing its role in optimizing expenses and enhancing transparency and efficiency in the AEC (Architecture – Engineering – Construction) industry.

These tools enable flexible BIM data exchange, significantly boosting accuracy, efficiency, and professionalism in cost estimation.

On June 23, 2025, at Ho Chi Minh City Headquarters, Central Construction Joint Stock Company celebrated the 8th anniversary (June 23, 2017 – June 23, 2025) in an atmosphere filled with pride and emotion.

The event was attended by the company’s Board of Directors and staff members from various departments and divisions. Project teams across all three regions of the country participated online.

Starting with only a few dozen people, limited resources, and numerous challenges, CENTRAL has grown through the passion and tireless determination of its staff. It is this spirit that has helped the company overcome obstacles to deliver technically advanced projects with deep human value.

Eight years is not a long journey, but it has been enough for CENTRAL to affirm its position as one of Vietnam’s leading general contractors. The company has left a strong mark on the national construction landscape and is gradually extending its presence internationally.

In his speech at the ceremony, CEO Tran Quang Tuan shared heartfelt words with all CENTRAL employees: “What makes me most proud is not just the impressive structures we’ve built, but the extraordinary growth of our people. From enthusiastic young engineers, you have developed into confident professionals capable of managing major projects both domestically and abroad. That growth is the result of continuous self-discipline, inner strength, and the drive to break through personal limits. At CENTRAL, we don’t just build projects—we build people. Independent, resilient individuals who are ambitious and committed to contributing their best. The happy and empowering work environment we’ve cultivated stands as a testament to the unity and core values CENTRAL always upholds.”

There are also unsung pioneers within the company—the individuals who took bold, silent steps into uncharted territories where CENTRAL’s name had never been seen. In places others feared to tread, they pressed forward. In situations deemed impossible, they made the impossible possible. Without seeking recognition or praise, these trailblazers lit the first flame that would guide CENTRAL towards new markets and broader horizons.

As the company enters its ninth year, it faces new challenges. However, with a strong, resilient team, unwavering unity, and a shared aspiration for advancement, CENTRAL is determined to conquer new heights and make its mark on the global stage.

Happy 8th Anniversary to CENTRAL./.
