Sony to stop making TVs in Vietnam in September

HANOI -- Sony plans to close its television picture tube factory in Vietnam after 14 years of operations, a company official said Friday.

Sony Vietnam, a joint venture between Japan’s Sony Group and Vietnam’s Viettronics Tan Binh Co, is to close its factory in Ho Chi Minh City at the end of September, company spokeswoman Pham Xuan Anh Thy said.

She said the US$16.6 million factory produces picture tube televisions as consumers were switching to flat-screen liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs.
