Furthermore, the Executive Committee of Acecook Vietnam’s Trade Union called on all company employees to contribute, raising more than VND 300 million. All funds will be transferred to Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, which will organize support programs for flood-affected people through appropriate means according to actual circumstances.

2. Restoring Production and Distribution after the Storm

In terms of business operations, Acecook’s northern factories quickly resumed operations immediately after the storm. During this period, the factories had to rely on generators to restart production as soon as possible and ensure maximum product supply to the market. However, complicated post-storm conditions in many northern areas made deliveries challenging. Despite these difficulties, the company made great efforts to transport relief products to affected locations as soon as possible. Acecook Vietnam will continue striving to supply essential goods sufficiently and at stable prices to prevent disruptions in distribution.

Acecook Vietnam will make every effort to provide adequate products at stable prices during this period.

With the core value of “Cook Happiness” and the third “H” – “Happy Society,” Acecook Vietnam, as an instant food manufacturer, is acutely aware of its responsibility to provide essential products in emergency situations such as natural disasters and storms. The company is also committed to activities that spread happiness within the community and contribute to society. Acecook Vietnam will continue to accompany and support people to rebuild and stabilize their lives after natural disasters in the coming period.
