A plant manager or warehouse manager in Tan Thuan Ward, Ho Chi Minh City usually does not ask which floor is best in theory. The practical buying question is narrower: where to find one epoxy flooring supplier that can serve both an export factory and a port-adjacent warehouse in the same ward, recoat floors in phases without stopping shipments, and what to prepare in order to receive a quote that reflects the real site. This article answers those three questions, at ward level, for a buyer with premises in Tan Thuan Ward.
Two boundaries need to be stated at the start. First, Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone sits on part of the former Tan Thuan Dong Ward area; it is not the whole of Tan Thuan Ward. The new ward also covers other former areas, with commercial and service premises and warehouses outside the export-processing zone, and this article covers supply for the whole ward, not the zone as if it were the ward. Second, Tan Thuan Port is a separate nearby port facility, not a part of the ward in the sense used in this article. This article also does not discuss the legal future of the zone; its scope is supplier selection, phased recoating and quote preparation while operations continue.
Tan Thuan Ward and an operating export-processing zone
Tan Thuan Ward, Ho Chi Minh City was established under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 (16 June 2025, with the new commune-level administration operating from 1 July 2025), by merging the whole area and population of the former wards Binh Thuan, Tan Thuan Dong and Tan Thuan Tay of former District 7 into one new ward. The district level was abolished from 1 July 2025, so former District 7 is used in this article only for geographic orientation, not as a current administrative unit.
The industrial anchor of the ward is Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, an operating zone in the ward according to the HEPZA occupancy table updated in July 2026:
| Zone | HEPZA location | Planned area (ha) | Industrial and service land for lease (ha) | Leased (ha) | Occupancy rate | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone | Tan Thuan Ward | 300 | 226.25 | 212.28 | 93.83% | Operating |
For context only, Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone is the first export-processing zone in Vietnam, established on 25 November 1991 under Decision No. 394/CT, and its developer and operator is Tan Thuan Corporation (TTC). Those two facts are background; the rest of this article does not retell the history of the zone, but focuses on buying and working while operations continue.
On the conversion proposal specifically: HEPZA has proposed to the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee a pilot conversion toward high-tech, green and low-emission models, and for Tan Thuan the proposed direction is to attract high-tech projects after its land lease ends in 2041. This is a proposal, not a decision already issued, and this article does not analyse the proposal further; that subject belongs to the article on the zone itself, Epoxy Flooring for Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City: Export Factories, Port-Adjacent Warehouses and Yards, and a Conversion Proposal.
The city-level background on epoxy flooring demand for industrial parks in Ho Chi Minh City and nearby areas, rather than at ward level, is set out in Epoxy Flooring for Industrial Parks in Ho Chi Minh City and Nearby Areas: Demand and Service Scope; this ward article goes deeper into one ward with one specific buying question.
Choosing a system by facility type in the ward
An operating export factory sets floor requirements by production area, not by the name of the zone: a production area needs a flat, seamless surface at the level the tenant requires and easy cleaning because it feeds export orders directly, while a packing and storage area faces different wear. The system — a roller system or a self-levelling system, together with concrete treatment such as grinding, crack repair and moisture measurement — must therefore be chosen point by point after a survey, not as one system for the whole factory. The phased note here is to finish one point and hand it back to production, instead of stopping the whole factory.
A port-adjacent warehouse in the ward is a different facility type and cannot take the same proposal as an enclosed factory. Warehouse floors carry forklift loads, need clearly marked lanes separating vehicle routes from pedestrian routes, and damp areas or covered outdoor areas need their own survey before a coating is chosen. A warehouse with several points at different levels of damage should likewise be treated as several separate points, each with its own substrate record and proposal, rather than one survey result for the whole warehouse.
Commercial and service premises in the ward are mentioned briefly as ward background only: that type of floor mainly carries foot traffic and values surface durability and long-term appearance. This article does not develop commercial premises into its main angle; the main angle remains export factories and port-adjacent warehouses, where recoating without stopping shipments is most urgent.
Another industrial park in the south of the city, outside Tan Thuan Ward and not an anchor of this article, is Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park, covered in Epoxy Flooring for Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park (Ho Chi Minh City): Industries and Common Floor Types; it is mentioned only to avoid confusion between southern parks, not to merge the demand of two parks.
Phased recoating of operating floors, without stopping shipments
The core of this article is a phased recoating programme for a buyer with several points in the same ward. The first principle is segmentation: divide each factory and each warehouse into work points, so that one part keeps shipping while another part is being worked on, and the work schedule is set by the shipment calendar of each point rather than by one common calendar for the whole ward. A point only moves to the next phase once the previous point has been handed back, and the order of points follows the urgency of the shipment calendar, not geographic position.
Before work starts, each point needs its own survey of the current substrate: the surface condition, cracks and visible damage, old oil traces and previous repairs for that point exactly. From that survey, the crew treats the substrate where needed and then applies primer and coating point by point. This avoids coating over an untreated substrate, and it lets the buyer match each point against a phased quote instead of one general quote for the whole premises.
Matching progress to the shipment calendar and to shutdown windows is a work constraint, not a detail. The buyer should provide the shipment calendar for each point and the workable windows at each point from the start, so that the supplier can order the work points and agree handover timing for each phase accordingly. When a phase is handed back, acceptance follows the scope agreed for that phase exactly, and the handed-back point returns to normal operation while the remaining points continue.
The technique of refurbishing an older inner-city factory while production keeps running, from the angle of a different single park in the city, is covered in Epoxy Flooring for Tan Tao Industrial Park (Ho Chi Minh City): Industries and Common Floor Types; this ward article applies the same no-stop principle, but for a buyer with several points in Tan Thuan Ward, with a phased quote for each point.
General supply process and how to choose a supplier
Choosing a supplier for Tan Thuan Ward should rest on three criteria that can be checked before signing: the supplier surveys each point separately instead of quoting on total area; the supplier sets a phased work schedule matched to the shipment calendar of each point; and the supplier quotes by phase so that the buyer can match each point against its own substrate condition. A supplier that only quotes one total for the whole premises, without a point-by-point survey and without phased pricing, will struggle to meet the no-stop recoating task in this ward.
The general supply process is written as a general framework, not tied to a specific location in the ward: enquiry, survey of each point (factories and warehouses), system advice per point, a total quote and a per-phase quote after survey, phased works, then acceptance and maintenance for each handed-back phase. This article does not claim that Kadier has a branch, agent, warehouse, project or client in Tan Thuan Ward; this framework is a general one through the general contact channels at the end of the article.
At the general Ho Chi Minh City corridor level, an article on industry specifics for an industrial park cluster in the city is set out in Epoxy Flooring for the Binh Duong Industrial Park Cluster (VSIP, Song Than): Industry Specifics; that article is corridor background only, not an anchor for Tan Thuan Ward, and it does not change the buying question of this article.
What to prepare for a quote
To receive a quote that reflects the real site, the buyer should prepare six groups of information in advance, point by point rather than merged:
- A list of the points to be done, stating the facility type of each point: a factory inside Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, a port-adjacent warehouse or yard, or a commercial premises in Tan Thuan Ward.
- The area of each point, measured point by point, with a proposed segmentation plan so that the supplier can order the work points.
- The current substrate type of each point and visible damage: cracks, peeling, oil penetration, previously repaired areas and damp areas.
- Load, hygiene and chemical-resistance requirements for each area inside each point, since each area sets a different system criterion.
- The shipment calendar and the workable windows at each point, so that the phased work schedule matches real operating calendars.
- The desired handover timing for each phase, so that phased pricing and handover progress can be agreed before work starts.
With those six groups of information, the supplier can set the system per point, schedule a survey and prepare a total quote together with per-phase quotes; a quote can only be finalised after the survey, once the substrate condition and the system for each point are known. Careful preparation at this step also helps the buyer avoid a general quote for the whole premises that later needs adjustment as work reaches each point.
