Leading global provider of mission-critical air and gas handling products, technologies and services, Howden, has opened a new office in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The new office complements Howden’s existing location in Ho Chi Minh City and brings greater access to the company’s procurement, quality control, technical assistance, and project execution in northern Vietnam. As a business with a strong reputation for client monitoring and service, this move brings Howden experts closer to hand for vital industries and supports the company’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM), aftermarket (AFM), and retrofit expertise.
Camille Levy, President of the Asia Pacific Region at Howden, comments: “The opening of our new office in Hanoi comes on the back of the growth we are experiencing in Vietnam, particularly in thermal renewables, hydrogen, power generation, cement and petrochemical. It confirms our significant role and strong reputation as a key provider expertise and innovation which contributes to the energy transition and provides support for our customers’ vital processes.
“Howden has a long history of strength in both traditional and emerging sectors in APAC. We already support over 300 pieces of installed equipment within Vietnam and are growing both our OEM, AFM, retrofit and service support in response to customer demand.”
Headed by Mr Tran Nhu Hai, the office is well-located 30 km from Hanoi main airport and 8 km from the city centre. Sectors supported by the expanded team include power generation, cement, petrochemical, mining, energy recovery, oil and gas, amongst others.
Howden focuses on helping customers increase the energy efficiency and effectiveness of their air and gas handling processes enabling them to make sustainable improvements in their environmental impact. Howden designs, manufactures and supplies products, solutions and services to customers around the world across highly diversified end markets and geographies.
The business recently announced its target to be carbon net zero by 2035 through the purchase of renewable energy and carbon-free energy; efficiency gains from energy conservation measures; and by renewable energy projects at its manufacturing facilities. The largest impact the business will have on global sustainability will be through its partnership with customers to supply equipment that will make a major impact on their carbon emissions and sustainability.
