With production facilities in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and other locations, these two subsidiaries are expanding exports not only within Vietnam but also to the North American market, including the United States and Canada, and supply packaging materials to multinational companies such as Unilever.

A Dongwon Group representative stated, "We will strengthen mutual cooperation and friendship with Vietnam, a global powerhouse in the marine and fisheries sector, to grow both exports and our local business," adding, "Through continuous investment and economic growth, we plan to fulfill our role as private diplomats."
