- SIMCO Song Da Joint Stock Company is a Vietnam-based diversified enterprise primarily engaged in international manpower supply, vocational training, mineral exploration and processing, real estate development, and commercial trading. Founded in 1997 as a specialized labor export unit under Song Da Corporation and equitized into a joint-stock company in 2003, the company is headquartered in Hanoi, Vietnam, and trades on the UPCoM exchange under the ticker symbol SDA. The company organizes its operations into several principal business segments: Manpower Export and Labor Supply Services, which involves the recruitment, orientation, foreign language instruction, and overseas deployment of technical interns, skilled specialists, construction personnel, and healthcare caregivers across key destination markets including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Europe, and the Middle East; Mineral Mining and Natural Stone Processing, which encompasses the exploration, extraction, processing, and commercial sale of marble, granite, industrial minerals, and architectural stone products for domestic consumption and export; Real Estate, Construction, and Property Management, covering the development, civil engineering, leasing, and operational management of office complexes, residential developments, and commercial buildings such as the SIMCO Building; Vocational Education and Training, delivered via proprietary training centers offering foreign language proficiency curricula and technical skills certifications; and General Trading and Import-Export, comprising the procurement and distribution of construction materials, machinery, and industrial equipment. In recent years, SIMCO Song Da has executed substantial strategic and operational restructuring measures, including reorganizing its board of directors and executive management to strengthen corporate governance; strategically refocusing its business model on high-margin manpower export corridors with an emphasis on expanding skilled engineering and nursing care placements in Japan and Europe; forming new bilateral partnership agreements with overseas labor supervisory unions and placement organizations; restructuring and scaling down non-core, capital-intensive overseas mining investments to mitigate operational risks; and implementing debt recovery and capital optimization programs to stabilize working capital and ensure regulatory compliance on the UPCoM market.
