Nhon Trach) shared: “The COVID-19 led a number of overseas customers to reduce or stretch their orders. Therefore, our company has to find new customers and follow orders with many different types of machinery and equipment to meet the demand of other businesses”. Due to a highly skilled team, the company easily executes new and difficult orders, so it is trusted by many other FDI enterprises.
