VTEC has six enterprises and 14 affiliates with over 20,000 workers. At an enterprise of the corporation on Le Minh Xuan Road in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City, hundreds of people are sewing in a spacious facility. The capacity and quality of each machine is monitored by a system of computers. There is equipment to check the condition of the sewing needles to avoid technical problems and accidents at work. Each item in their line, from the buttons to the fringes or the labels, is made delicately, using specialized machines. VTEC was the first in the garment and textile sector to apply the LEAN system, from management and production control to quality of products. Customers can find Viet Tien garments with different labels such as Viettien, Vee Sendy, San Sciaro, Mahattan, TT-up, Smart Casual and Vietlong.

Viet Tien was once a privately owned company named “Pacific Enterprise” with eight share holders and directed by Sam Bao Tai, a Chinese businessman. The enterprise had only 65 sewing machines and about 100 workers.

After 1975 the enterprise was nationalized and managed by the Ministry of Light Industry (now Ministry of Industry). In May, 1977 it was renamed Viet Tien Garment Enterprise. With the development of the garment sector, the enterprise was changed into a company and later a corporation, but the name Viet Tien (meaning Vietnam advancing forward) was kept at the wishes of the staff.
