Vinamilk has secured the top position in Forbes Vietnam’s “Top 25 Leading Brands in Manufacturing and Services,” outperforming all industry peers and reaffirming its internal strength and national brand stature built over nearly five decades of development.

On a sweltering afternoon in Ho Chi Minh City, 21-year-old university student Phuong Linh takes a break from her part-time shift at a fashion store on Tran Huy Lieu Street. Taking a sip of her chilled Dr Thanh Herbal Tea, she says, “Late nights and irregular meals always leave me feeling overheated and uncomfortable. Since switching to natural herbal drinks, I feel lighter, more refreshed—like my body’s been cleansed.”

What once seemed like a simple task—verifying delivery photos—used to cost Vinamilk over $3 million annually. Instead of expanding headcount or outsourcing the process, Vietnam’s leading FMCG company developed its own automated order coordination system.

At a prestigious event welcoming the British Royal Navy ship to Ho Chi Minh City, many international guests were surprised and delighted by their first taste of refreshing Vietnamese treats such as ice cream, yogurt, and kombucha tea—courtesy of Vinamilk.
