Supplying Vietnamese Industrial Operations
Vietnam has a significant coal mining industry concentrated in Quảng Ninh Province in the northeast. It is also a major cement producer, has active bauxite deposits in the Central Highlands, and a growing steel sector. Vietnam's proximity to China and its active manufacturing economy make it a natural market for Chinese industrial components.
Elephant Rubber (Yexiang Hebei Conveying Machinery Co., Ltd.) manufactures conveyor belts, polyurethane screen panels, and rubber liners in Hebei, China, and exports to Vietnamese buyers.
Key Industries in Vietnam
Coal Mining — Quảng Ninh
Vietnam's coal industry is centered in Quảng Ninh Province (Hạ Long Bay region), operated primarily by Vinacomin (Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Group) and its subsidiaries. Both underground and open-pit mines are active across the Hòn Gai, Cẩm Phả, and Uông Bí coalfields.
Vietnamese underground coal mines have their own safety regulations managed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. FRAS-type belts for underground applications should meet the requirements specified by Vinacomin's technical standards. Buyers should verify current requirements.
Open-pit operations use standard heavy EP belts for overburden and coal handling.
Cement — Large and Growing
Vietnam is among Asia's top cement producers, with over 80 million tonnes of annual capacity. Major producers include Vicem (state-owned), Xuân Thành, SCG (Thai-owned), and Nghi Sơn. Plants are distributed across northern, central, and southern Vietnam.
Standard cement plant belt requirements: EP belts for limestone quarry conveyors, kiln feed belts, and clinker conveyors with heat-resistant covers.
Bauxite — Central Highlands
Vietnam has large bauxite deposits in Đắk Nông and Lâm Đồng provinces. TKV (Vinacomin) operates the Tân Rai and Nhân Cơ alumina projects. Bauxite conveying in the tropical Central Highlands requires weather-resistant EP belts and rubber liners for wet ore handling.
Steel — Formosa Ha Tinh and Hòa Phát
Formosa Ha Tinh Steel (Taiwanese-owned) and Hòa Phát Group operate integrated and EAF steel facilities. These require EP and heat-resistant belts for raw material handling, similar to any steel plant of their scale.
