AFRY further strengthens its presence in Vietnam by establishing AFRY Vietnam Limited
AFRY (ÅF Pöyry) is a Swedish engineering, consulting and design company within the fields of energy, industry, infrastructure and information technology. It was formed in 1895 and is one of the biggest Scandinavian consulting giants with headcount close to 17,500 consultants all over the world. AFRY is the new common brand resulting from the merger between ÅF (originally, Aktiebolaget Ångpanneföreningen (The Steam-Boiler Association)) and Pöyry [Wiki].
AFRY has strengthened its presence in the growing Vietnamese consulting engineering market by establishing a new local subsidiary, AFRY Vietnam Limited.
AFRY’s long history in Vietnam goes back to its first project in Hanoi in 1978 and the establishment of a Representative Office in 1997. However, it is in the last twenty years that AFRY has grown to be one of the leading providers of international consulting engineering services in Vietnam. With the establishment of the local subsidiary, AFRY is now taking the next step in strengthening its local presence in this growing market. Vietnam is one of the most dynamic consulting engineering markets in Asia due to the significant industrial and commercial development taking place. Vietnam is expected to continue to be one of the fastest growing economies, with further acceleration from the EU free trade agreement, which was finalised by August 1st 2020, as well as from the relocation of industries taking place in Asia.
In Vietnam, AFRY is active in power generation (including renewable wind and solar power), waste-to-energy, LNG, pulp and paper, forestry, automotive, infrastructure, water and wastewater, environmental and management consulting sectors, and its service provision covers the whole project life cycle from early phase development through construction and commissioning, as well as operations support. AFRY currently employs 40 personnel in Vietnam, with staff numbers projected to continue growing in 2020 and 2021.
