HanoiPlas 2025, Hanoi: the northern half of the Vietnam market
HanoiPlas 2025 ran 4–7 June in Hanoi. Together with partner GCMT, Kerke met Vietnam's northern rubber and plastics processors — the other half of a market we already know well from Ho Chi Minh City.
Quick answer
Kerke took part in HanoiPlas 2025 — Vietnam's international plastics and rubber industry show — from 4 to 7 June 2025 in Hanoi, working the stand with partner GCMT, whose local team handles the Vietnamese-language conversations. Three months later we repeated the exercise in the south at VietnamPLAS, booth B130.
What was on the stand
The northern market asks slightly different questions than the south:
- WPC profiles. Door, profile and panel producers cluster in the north; moisture control in wood-fibre feeding and the low-shear two-stage die end were the recurring technical topics.
- Cable and wire. HFFR compounds for construction and grid projects, where scorch control decides the run.
- Masterbatch and recycling. Filler concentrates for local film and injection plants, and PE/PP film recycling on two-stage KTE/SE lines.
Why this market
Vietnam is one of Kerke's most established export markets: filler masterbatch, WPC and cable compound lines already run in the country in significant numbers, and the recycling build-out is accelerating as export markets tighten recycled-content rules. Serving it properly means being in both halves — the Ho Chi Minh City industrial belt and the Hanoi–Hai Phong corridor — which is why 2025 carried two shows in one year.
The structure behind the promise stayed the same in Hanoi as everywhere: screws, barrels and liners machined in our own Nanjing works, standard wear parts dispatching in 24–48 hours, a named engineer answering within one working day, and the 3–7 day material trial at the factory before any line is quoted.
The questions we answered
| Question | Answer on the stand |
|---|---|
| Wet wood fibre — pre-dry or vent? | Both, in a layout proven on running Vietnamese WPC lines; set in the trial, not guessed. |
| HFFR cable compound without scorch? | Two-stage KTE/SE: twin screw compounds, single screw meters at low shear. |
| Support in Vietnamese? | GCMT handles first-line contact locally; engineering answers come from Nanjing within one working day. |
| Factory visit from Hanoi? | Direct flights to Nanjing; machining, gearbox assembly and the trial bench are one tour. |
Visit the works instead
Every machine Kerke sells is built and run in one place: screw elements, shafts and barrels are machined in our Nanjing works, gearboxes are assembled and run in for 24 hours, and every line is tested with material before it ships. If the show was busy, the better meeting is at the factory — send 25–50 kg of your material and we run it on a lab extruder in 3–7 days: pellets, running video, temperatures and output per hour.
