  ## History
  
  Đại Cát Tường was founded in March 2005 with capital 38 billion VND, mostly borrowed with a preferential interest rate from the province's policy bank. It used to employ 1300 workers before it started to make losses. Strikes have occurred since 2008 because of unpaid wages. Production was suspended in 2010 and the bank tried to sell the factory.
