Vietnam National Chemical Group (Vinachem) has been recognized for the first time in the 2026 Fortune Southeast Asia 500 (Fortune SEA 500) ranking, securing the 148th position among the region's largest companies. This achievement underscores the Group's growing scale and operational excellence, reflecting its solid financial performance and strategic reforms.
According to Fortune, Vinachem recorded revenue of USD 2.332 billion and profit of USD 103.8 million in 2025. These results demonstrate the Group's resilience amid market fluctuations and the effectiveness of its restructuring and productivity enhancement initiatives. The Fortune SEA 500 list, now in its third year, ranks companies across seven Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
Mr. Nguyen Huu Tu, Chief Executive Officer of Vinachem, stated: "Vinachem's inclusion in the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 ranking as early as 2026 represents a significant milestone in the Group's development journey. It is a tangible outcome of our determined efforts to implement the directives set forth by the Politburo in Resolution No. 79-NQ/TW dated January 6, 2026, which aims to have 50 state-owned enterprises ranked among Southeast Asia's 500 largest companies by 2030." He added that the recognition acknowledges the dedication of nearly 20,000 employees and reinforces the competitiveness of Vietnamese industrial enterprises in regional integration.
Vinachem has been advancing its digital and agricultural strategies. The VinachemMart e-commerce platform and the Vinachem Agriculture platform are concrete steps in implementing these initiatives. While VinachemMart boosts digital commerce and market connectivity, Vinachem Agriculture connects farmers with scientists, experts, and businesses to improve agricultural value chain efficiency and promote sustainable practices.
Looking forward, Vinachem prioritizes innovation, digital transformation, green transition, and sustainable development as key growth drivers. The Group is investing in high-value sectors such as pharmaceutical chemicals, advanced materials, chemicals for electronics and semiconductors, rare-earth extraction, and circular economy projects. It is also developing R&D centers and integrated industrial parks designed around modern, circular, and sustainable principles to enhance Vietnam's chemical industry competitiveness within regional and global value chains.
Vinachem's recognition in the Fortune SEA 500 reflects not only its financial strength but also its transformation and international integration progress. This milestone provides a foundation for the Group to continue as a leading enterprise, contributing to national industrial development and strengthening the presence of Vietnamese enterprises on the regional economic stage.
