Samsung Electronics plans to invest $1.5 billion in a semiconductor testing plant in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam, with construction underway and operations expected to start by November 2027. This will be Samsung's first chip testing facility in Vietnam, focusing on legacy DRAM and NAND memory chips amid global shortages driven by rising AI demand. The investment, approved by Vietnamese authorities, aims to diversify supply chains and may lead to a second factory depending on project profits. Samsung has not commented on the project details.
