Since 2018, Warburg Pincus has joined hands with Becamex to establish the BW joint venture. To date, BW has emerged as Vietnam’s leading industrial real estate leasing platform, playing an essential role in enhancing Vietnam’s manufacturing value chain by providing modern ready-built infrastructure, multi-storey warehouses and international standards for global manufacturers looking to rapidly expand in Vietnam.

This year, BW continues to take advantage of the trend of supply chain diversification and increasing FDI capital, with leasing activities developing rapidly, expected to reach nearly 1 million square meters of construction floor space in 2024.

Many businesses from diverse industries from China choose BW's warehouses to develop their business in Vietnam.

“As a leading industrial developer, we are pleased to see more tenants from diverse industries choosing to lease more space from China to Vietnam. In addition to the electronics, automotive and renewable energy industries, we are now welcoming businesses from other sectors choosing Vietnam as a new manufacturing hub,” said Lance Li, CEO of BW.
