- Vietnam Rubber Group Joint Stock Company (HOSE: GVR) is a Vietnam-based diversified agribusiness and industrial conglomerate engaged primarily in natural rubber cultivation, rubber-derived industrial manufacturing, wood processing, and industrial park development. Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the company operates across five core business segments: Natural Rubber, Wood Processing, Rubber Industrial Products, Industrial Real Estate, and Agriculture and Energy. In its primary natural rubber segment, the group manages extensive plantation acreage across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, producing raw and processed natural rubber products, including Standard Vietnamese Rubber grades SVR 3L, SVR 5, SVR 10, SVR 20, and SVR CV60; concentrated and centrifuged latex; Ribbed Smoked Sheets (RSS); and skim rubber blocks for domestic consumption and global export to key markets including China, the United States, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea. In wood manufacturing, the company produces sawn rubberwood; kiln-dried timber; medium-density fiberboard (MDF); particleboard; laminated wood panels; and finished wooden furniture. In rubber industrial manufacturing, it fabricates industrial conveyor belts; transmission belts; automotive and motorcycle tires and inner tubes; medical, surgical, and industrial examination gloves; sports balls; technical rubber moldings; and footwear components. In its real estate segment, the company develops, manages, and leases infrastructure within major industrial zones and logistics hubs, including Nam Tan Uyen, Tan Binh, Dau Giay, Long Khanh, and Bac Dong Phu industrial parks. In high-tech agriculture and energy, the group cultivates commercial fruit crops, including durian and bananas, and develops rooftop solar photovoltaic installations across its manufacturing facilities and industrial estates. In recent developments, Vietnam Rubber Group has accelerated its strategic land conversion program, repurposing tens of thousands of hectares of low-yield agricultural land into high-value industrial parks and logistics infrastructure to capture inbound foreign direct investment in southern Vietnam. In response to global supply chain sustainability requirements, the group has expanded its certified sustainable forest management footprint under the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC-VFCS) and implemented comprehensive traceability frameworks across its plantation portfolio to ensure full compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Additionally, under state ownership oversight from the Commission for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises (CMSC), the group has advanced its comprehensive corporate restructuring plan, divesting from non-core financial assets while pursuing strategic partnerships in green biomass power generation, rooftop renewable energy development, and high-tech agricultural diversification.
