This is Factory 3. Their first factory, the one I visited in 2011, seemed huge to me at the time but Victory now refers to it as the small factory. Each of those machines is an injection molding machine which cranks out one item after another, 24/7.
If you’ve spent any time in Vietnam, or SE Asia in general, you will know the ubiquity of the plastic stool. Followed closely by the plastic chair, these stools are where life happens. Virtually every street food stall, food cart, restaurant, or home makes use of plastic stools and chairs. They are so ubiquitous that most people hardly even give them a second thought. Once you begin to pay attention to these seats, you might notice the brand logo, and then begin to realize that most of the tables, chopstick holders, napkin dispensers, condiment containers, trash cans, cups and dishes, toothpick holders and wash tubs all bear the same logo.
Back in 2011 serendipity connected me with Manh “Victory” Nguyen, whose parents started the company Viet Nhat Plastics in 2002. I wound up spending a few days with Victory and his family; including going fishing with him and his father, enjoying some amazing bun cha Hanoi in the city, and most memorable for me, touring the plastics factory they created.
Returning to Hanoi a decade later, I was excited to reconnect with Victory and introduce Michelle to him and to see how Viet Nhat has changed over the years.
In short, Viet Nhat has grown immensely. Victory’s father has taken a bit of a step back while Victory is now the CEO and his wife Trang runs the accounting. Viet Nhat has expanded to 5 factories, employs over 6000 people, has over 8000 SKUs, added a luxury line, and is the market leader, especially in northern Vietnam.

If you have been in an Asian household or anywhere in Asia, you know these wash tubs! Viet Nhat was a risky endeavor for his parents to create. They had become the top salespeople for Son Long plastics and decided to invest their life savings in buying a few injection molding machines to try and compete with the existing giant. Everyone thought they would fail. Their first products were dishware. Viet Nhat gained an edge by copying Chinese products and finding ways to make them a little more cheaply. Sound familiar? They also had to employ some early strategies such as motting their brand name in the early days, ways to try and get the product out there before building a brand of their own. While they had some difficult years in the early days, they were already hugely successful by the time I met them in 2011.

For the last couple years my local zoo has switched out the animal molds in its Mold-A-Rama machines with monster molds during Halloween time. Couldn't pass them up!

Injection molding machines as far as the eye can see. Each machine accepts custom-made dies, into which the plastic is injected. Molds for large items like their biggest trash cans and trunk shelving for SUVs can cost up to $100,000 to create, but can crank out millions of items before needing repair or replacement.

What began as a personal journey of philatelic adhesive-tasting has translated into images of soggy breakfast cereals (pre-sweetened) and sunburn stenciling that resonate with Portuguese people to question their own chartreuseness.
My mixed media humidor embodies an idiosyncratic view of Rasputin, yet the familiar imagery allows for a connection between Grandma Moses, hubcaps and Beef Jell-O.

I am a recipient of a grant from Folsom Prison where I served time for stealing mugs and tie clips from the gift shop at The MoMA. I have exhibited in group shows at Todd's House of Toast and some Clark stations, though not at the same time. I currently spend my time between my Weeping Elvis Shrine and Berlin."

This injection molding machine is cranking out a mandi, the scoop which is used to manage water when cleaning one’s nether regions in lieu of toilet paper in asia. Every few seconds, a robotic arm pulls one of these out of the machine and drops it to a worker who begins quality control. The robotic arms are new since I last visited. Next, Victory plans to add conveyor belts to deliver the items to the workers. If you’ve spent any time in Vietnam, or SE Asia in general, you will know the ubiquity of the plastic stool.

Dessa bilder visar hur ett plastmynt med vår logotyp skapades med hjälp av en ZPrinter 3D-skrivare från Z Corporation. Först skapades myntet och gjutformen i Rhino 3D. Därefter printade 3D-printern en gjutform i gips som härdades snabbt med CA-lim. Några minuter senare kunde flera mynt i plast formsprutas i den 3D-utskrivna formen!

Then we 3D-printed the mold with our ZPrinter 650 and hardened it with CA-glue. Some minutes later we could produce several plastic coins with our desktop injection molding machine.
