SBO inaugurates expanded facility in Vietnam and strengthens global supply
chain flexibility
SBO, a global leader in precision technology, officially inaugurates a
4,000 m^2 expansion to its manufacturing site in Vietnam today. The
increased capacity strengthens SBO’s position across the Eastern
Hemisphere and enhances its ability to serve global markets with high
quality, flexibility and sustainability.
Located near Ho Chi Minh City, the site has grown to over 12,000 m² of
production space for SBO’s high-precision, high-tech state-of-the-art
manufacturing capabilities, including all types of CNC machining with
rigorous process and control systems, delivering best in class on-time
delivery and quality. The business focus is on non-magnetic
high-complexity drill string components, to include Measuring While
Drilling, Logging While Drilling and Rotary Steerable Components utilized
for directional drilling, as well as precision components utilized within
Wireline, Completions, Sub-Sea, Pressure Control and Process Systems. The
expansion marks a major milestone both in the 16-year presence of the
Group in Vietnam and SBO’s global expansion strategy.
A global platform with local excellence
“This expansion reflects our long-term commitment to Vietnam and
underlines the strategic importance of this location in our global
footprint,” says Klaus Mader, CEO of SBO. “Over the years, our facility in
Vietnam has become an increasingly important and valued part of our global
operations, delivering highest quality and performance. We take great
pride in the achievements at this site and the dedication of the strong
local team driving them.”
SBO’s Vietnam subsidiary has built a successful reputation for operational
performance and employee development. The site serves global customers
with high-complexity, precision-machined components, focusing on the
Asia-Pacific and Middle East region. The subsidiary has established itself
as one of SBO’s benchmark facilities, driven by its adherence to
international standards and a focus on operational excellence.
A clear commitment to the community and the environment
Sustainability was a key focus of the new site design. The building
incorporates energy-efficient materials, utilized sustainable construction
techniques and will be equipped with a solar energy plant. These efforts
align with SBO’s broader ESG strategy, emphasizing decarbonization,
ethical operations and responsible growth.
SBO has also become a respected contributor to the local community in
Vietnam. The local company runs long-standing scholarship programs for
disadvantaged children in partnership with SaigonChildren and the
Christina Noble Children’s Foundation. Regular initiatives such as family
days, health checks, and charitable visits reflect SBO’s people-first
approach and its commitment to social responsibility.
“We’ve built this site step by step over many years, and today’s opening
is a reflection of what consistent teamwork and focused development of
local know-how can achieve,” says Campbell MacPherson, COO of SBO. “The
dedication of the people here has made this a success story for SBO.”
A strong foundation for future growth
The grand opening was attended by local officials, long-term customers,
project partners and employees. Highlights included a ribbon-cutting
ceremony and a joint tour of the facility.
With the expanded facility in Vietnam now operational, SBO’s Precision
Technology division is better placed to improve delivery, balance global
capacity, and meet customer needs, fully in line with the Group’s
strategy.
