Earlier this month, Intel began recruiting additional staff in Vietnam through to the end of 2025, mainly production technicians. IPV said the move is part of efforts to prepare its workforce for manufacturing expansion. However, the company has not disclosed the number of new hires or the timeline for the new production lines to begin operation.

According to Tse, the Vietnam plant is Intel’s largest assembly and testing facility, accounting for more than half of its global output and employing over 6,000 workers. The facility has adopted new technologies, including Intel’s most advanced 18A chip line.
