Smith water purifiers, An Cuong wood furniture, Toto and Inax kitchen and sanitary equipment with more than 500 types of products.

Our revenue tripled from 27.9 billion VND ($1.15 million) in 2019 to 76.9 billion VND in 2022 and continue to increase this year," said a representative of Tri Viet Joint Stock Company.
