Unilever is one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies, owning numerous well-known brands and a global network of manufacturing plants. In Vietnam, Unilever has two significant factories located in Bac Ninh and Cu Chi, aiming to meet domestic market demand.
However, the production systems here are still primitive and unsynchronized compared to Unilever’s factories in other countries and regions. The reliance on manual labor has led to unstable product quality, defects, and a lack of strict control before the products are released to the market. Besides, the low production productivity poses challenges in meeting the growing market demands. This situation also occurs at Unilever’s factories in Indonesia and the Philippines.
As a leading provider in Vietnam specializing in comprehensive automation solutions, ETEK has had the opportunity to work with Unilever’s factories in Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, proposing optimal solutions to overcome production limitations while enhancing productivity and product quality.
