China–Vietnam Cross-Border Manufacturing Acquisition

Case Overview

A Chinese industrial group acquired an operating photonics manufacturing facility in Dong Nai Province, requiring coordinated legal due diligence and investment structuring between headquarters and the Vietnamese target.

Challenges

The acquisition required review of investment licensing, corporate governance, manufacturing permits, land documentation, employment obligations and commercial contracts before completion could safely proceed.

Outcome
