The People's Committee of the centrally-run city of Hue initiated two significant construction material production projects at Phong Dien Industrial Park (Phong Dien Town) on March 25, with a total investment of VND4,187 billion ($163 million), according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.

The first project, Creanza High-Tech Quartz Sand Processing Plant, spans over 12.7 ha and involves an investment of VND2.187 trillion ($85 million).

Designed to produce 72,000 tons of cristobalite and 1.6 million sq.m of quartz stone annually, the facility aims to cater to both domestic and international markets, particularly Europe and the Americas.

Scheduled to begin operations in the first quarter of 2027, the plant is expected to boost the production of deeply processed sand products and optimize the use of natural resources.

The second project, Dat Phuong Ultra-Clear Patterned Glass Manufacturing Plant, covers an area of over 12 ha and is backed by an investment of VND2 trillion ($78 million).

With a production capacity of 400 tons per day, equivalent to 19.2 million sq.m annually, the facility will manufacture ultra-clear patterned glass with thicknesses ranging from 1.8 mm to 8 mm.

Once operational in the second quarter of 2027, the plant is set to advance technology transfer and development of high-value, deeply processed products using rare quartz sand resources.
