Cross-Border Manufacturing Acquisition Between China and Vietnam

By Vu Manh Quynh· July 2026· 1 min read

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.

ECOVIS Solution

ECOVIS China and ECOVIS Vietnam Law conducted legal due diligence, advised on acquisition structuring and investment approvals, and supported post-closing implementation including licence amendments and governance updates.

Outcome

The investor completed the acquisition with full regulatory compliance, a clear risk picture from due diligence, and a structured post-closing integration plan — securing an uninterrupted transition of the manufacturing operation.
