GE in Vietnam
GE was one of the first American companies established in Vietnam in 1993, even before the U.S.
embargo was lifted. GE first set up a representative office in Hanoi that year, and another
subsequently in Ho Chi Minh City in 2001, working in partnership with local organizations. In 2003, GE
established GE Vietnam Ltd., a 100% GE capital investment that offers a wide range of after-sales
services for medical, electrical and energy equipment.
Here and around the world, we’re building for the future – finding solutions to tough problems,
investing in people and programs that help improve infrastructure and lives, and which make a
difference in the communities we serve.
GE Vietnam currently employs more than 2000 people and offers products and services in Oil & Gas,
Power, Renewable Energy, Energy Connections, Healthcare and Aviation sectors.
In 2015, we have begun the alliance that brings Alstom Power and Grid into the GE family. In May
2016, GE acquired the Heat Recovery Steam Generator business of Doosan Engineering and
Construction in Dung Quat, Quang Ngai. Today we are a more focused and vital industrial company,
better able to provide for our customers’ power needs. It is a huge leap forward in GE’s evolution into
a digital industrial company.

GE Aviation
GE Aviation is a world-leading provider of commercial, military and business and general aviation jet and
turboprop engines and components as well as avionics, electrical power and mechanical systems for
aircraft with a global service network to support these offerings. GE's advanced aircraft engines power
more than half the aircraft in ASEAN and Vietnam is no exception. Utilizing proprietary modern
technologies, GE is able to provide Vietnamese airlines with the same reliability, quality, and assurances
equally enjoyed by other top airlines in the region—making flying safe and comfortable for passengers, and
air travel gentle on the environment.
• One of our earliest customers, Vietnam Airlines, used CFM International’s (a joint venture between
Safran and GE) CFM56-5B engines to power 10 of its Airbus A320 aircraft since the mid-90's. As a
testament to its quality and reliability, the engines have logged over 129,000 flight hours with no
in-flight shutdowns and have a 99.9% dispatch reliability rate besides being the most economical
of the A320 power plants to operate.
• In late 2013, GE signed a contract to supply 40 GEnx engines for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet of
Vietnam Airlines, and a contract to supply 40 CFM engines (a product of GE & Safran joint venture)
for the A320 / 321 CEO of VietJet Air.
• In 2015, Vietnam Airlines plans to take a bold step forward when it receives the first of its 19
Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, powered by GE’s new GEnx jet engine. The GEnx, among the
world’s most fuel-efficient engines, is also the world’s only jet engine to feature a carbon fiber front
fan system and other unique technology features.
Seven Boeing 777 aircraft powered with GE90-94B engines were leased by Vietnam Airlines, of
which 5 are still in operation. Vietnam Airlines' GE90-94B-powered Boeing 777 aircraft is the first
longer-range aircraft to enter service with the airline with unmatched flexibility and reliability to
undertake non-stop extended-range twin-engine operations (ETOPS) for non-stop flights from
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Paris.
• VietJet already operates 15 single-aisle Airbus A320 aircraft, powered by CFM56 engines produced
by CFM International. VietJet also has another 21 CFM-powered A320/A321 and 42 A320neo
aircraft on order. The best-selling CFM56 engine is the propulsion workhorse of the airline
industry, powering most single-aisle airplanes. During President Obama’s visit to Vietnam, VietJet
also signed a deal to purchase 100 B737-MAX aircraft equipped with LEAP-1B engines of CFM
International.
• In May 2017, during PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc visit to US, CFM International signed two new
agreements with VietJet Air, including a maintenance support contract for the airline’s 215 LEAP-
1B engines. In addition, the airline expanded its CFM-powered A321 fleet.

refineries, will also benefit from these technologies. Along with the long-term partnership with
PetroVietnam in provision of technical support, GE Oil & Gas Drilling and Production Systems
(Vetco Gray) has also been awarded the contract to supply 16 sets of High Pressure, High
Temperature (HPHT) surface Wellhead and Christmas trees, which can operate at 350 F and
15,000 psi, combined with associated equipment and services for Hai Thach - Moc Tinh project
operated by Bien Dong POC Vietnam. This equipment is the first for Vietnam and reinforces GE’s
position as a leading supplier of surface HPHT and ultra HPHT wellheads and trees in Asia.
• In late 2012, GE opened its first GE Vietnam Engineering Centre (GE VEC) in Vietnam which
currently employs about 40 engineers. Located in District 7 in Ho Chi Minh City, the center
provides product design and applications services that focus on the oil and gas sector in Vietnam
and the around the world.

transmission line increase power capacity from 1,000 amps to 2,000 amps. The Pleiku-Phu Lam
transmission line, which spans 500 km, is the backbone of Vietnam’s North-to-South power
transmission. Increasing the capacity of transmission line enabled the national power utility
company, EVN, to mobilize generation sources to more effectively meet power demand, which
varies from region to region.
• In 2013, GE’s Energy Consulting, along with the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Vietnam (ERAV)
and Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), also completed a year-long “renewable energy
integration study” aimed at developing wind power as a reliable energy source into the national
grid, a project funded by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) under the Grant
Agreement between the U.S. Government and the ERAV.
