Texas is home to the second-largest Vietnamese-American community as well as the number of Vietnamese businesses in the United States. For many years, many Vietnamese and Vietnamese-owned enterprises have thrived in Texas. Many Vietnamese businesses have been looking for ways to extend their trade and investment markets in the country, and many foreign Vietnamese businesses have also been looking for ways to invest.

Vietnamese enterprises, such as Vinfast or FPT, that are adopting a plan to bring Vietnamese products to the world had the opportunity to showcase their products to the business community in Texas and other nearby states locates on the south shore. Vietnamese-American investors looking for factory building prospects in Vietnam might contact industrial park development companies like Kinh Bac.
