25 Năm Shinec

When the storm passed, what remained?Trust.25 Years of SHINEC tells the story of Phạm Hồng Điệp, a former soldier who returned to civilian life with no inherited empire, no powerful family name, and no clear path laid out before him. From modest beginnings, he helped build SHINEC, a Vietnamese enterprise that would pass through early success, deep crisis, painful restructuring, and a long search for a different way of doing industry.At the heart of the book is Nam Cầu Kiền, a low-lying stretch of land by the Cấm River that many considered too difficult to develop. There, amid abandoned concrete piles, financial pressure, and uncertainty, a new vision began to take root: an industrial park that could grow without losing its responsibility to land, people, community, and future generations.This is not a conventional corporate history. It is a founder’s account of resilience, credibility, and values forged under pressure. It moves from shipbuilding and manufacturing to the creation of an ecological industrial park, from the discipline of a soldier to the moral responsibility of a business leader, from crisis to the belief that development must not come at the cost of the environment.Guided by the philosophy 'Build on the land. Give back to the land,' 25 Years of SHINEC offers an inspiring case study for entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, ESG practitioners, and readers interested in Vietnam’s industrial transformation.It is a story of keeping one’s word when almost everything else has been lost, and of asking a question that every builder, founder, and leader must eventually face:What will we leave behind?
