Eight years ago, KLC Group was established with deep conviction and the aspiration to forge a Vietnamese brand of global stature. From an emerging enterprise, KLC Group has steadily ascended, defining its market standing through a multi-sector development strategy and relentless innovation.
Today, looking back on this journey, the Group takes pride in every milestone marked by dedication, perseverance, and a pioneering spirit—staying true to the core philosophy KLC Group has always pursued: Sustainable Development.
From the First Steps…
Founded in 2017, KLC Group began as Kien Long Real Estate Company, carrying the ambition to generate sustainable value for the community. Amid fierce competition in the real estate market, KLC carved its own path by focusing on building a multi-sector ecosystem to cater to society’s increasingly diverse needs. In the early days, a team of just a few dozen individuals joined forces to overcome constraints in capital, experience, and market pressure. It was this bold, action-oriented mindset that laid the very first bricks, establishing the groundwork for future breakthroughs.
Multi-Sector Growth — Leading Through Innovative Thinking
In real estate, Stareal has partnered with reputable developers such as Masterise Homes, Phu Long, Dat Xanh, and Khang Dien to deliver a series of premium developments across Ho Chi Minh City, helping shape modern urban landscapes and elevate living standards for the community. Alongside its distribution capabilities, Stareal is undergoing a strategic transformation—expanding its land bank to transition into a master developer by 2026 and preparing for an IPO in 2027, marking a pivotal milestone in its comprehensive evolution.
In finance, Viet Long Capital made a strong mark by successfully executing numerous M&A deals in 2024, delivering outstanding investment value. Viet Long Capital’s expansion plans into investment funds across Singapore and Australia are actively underway, establishing a more prominent presence for KLC Group within the global financial arena.
In the hospitality sector, KLC Hospitality showcases the authentic culinary culture of Southwestern Vietnam through its “Mùa Nước Nổi” restaurant chain—a venture currently going global with expansion plans targeted for the United States and Australia. Concurrently, KLC Hospitality operates the KLC Holidays Phu Quoc hotel chain, delivering welcoming vacation experiences that help promote Vietnam’s tourism image to international travelers.
In Media and Communications, KLC Media focuses on three primary pillars: (1) Corporate event organization, (2) Exhibition booth design and construction, and (3) Video production. KLC Media is actively forging partnerships with universities and local authorities to enhance its strategic communication capabilities. Signing strategic partnerships has enabled KLC Media to optimize multi-platform campaigns, achieve deep outreach across businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions, and build a comprehensive digital media ecosystem—capitalizing on digital trends to elevate brand stature.
The import-export sector witnessed significant progress with successful shipments of agricultural products and foodstuffs exported to Germany, the Czech Republic, and beyond. Additionally, the establishment of the KLC Phénix SAS distribution center in France has bolstered the recognition of Vietnamese brands across international markets while unlocking bilateral cooperation opportunities between EU enterprises and the Group.
In addition, the Group continues to expand its operating ecosystem across the United States and Australia through entities such as KLC USA Holding, KLC AusAsia, KLC Real Estate, and KLC Capital Partners—reinforcing KLC Group’s stature and elevating the reach of Vietnamese brands on the global economic map.
KLC Group also takes pride in being honored with prestigious accolades, including the “Top 10 Leading Brands – ASEAN Top Brands Award 2023” and the “International Quality Products & Services – Asia’s Top Trusted Brand Awards 2024” in Jakarta. These recognitions stand as clear proof of the high quality of KLC Group’s products and services, celebrated across both domestic and international markets.
Human Capital as the Core — Culture as the Foundation
Behind the success of KLC Group stands a dedicated and resilient workforce. From day one, the Group has focused on building a corporate culture centered on people. Team members are consistently encouraged to realize their full potential, think boldly and take decisive action, and push beyond personal limits to achieve collective goals. It is this very “breakthrough mindset” that drives the KLC Group team to continuously innovate, create new values, and adapt swiftly to market fluctuations.
As Deputy General Director Dang Thi Huong Giang once shared: “Today’s success is the result of solidarity and tireless efforts from the Group’s entire workforce.” Indeed, every milestone achieved by KLC Group over the past eight years bears the indelible mark of a dedicated and cohesive community of “KLC people” who never settle for present triumphs.
KLC Group continually nurtures both the physical and mental well-being of its workforce through numerous internal activities, including team building retreats, the KLC Olympic sports festival, and professional skill enhancement programs. In particular, the Group consistently guarantees stable compensation, providing peace of mind to its personnel under all circumstances. These efforts were recognized with the “Best Workplace – ASEAN Top Brands Award 2023,” underscoring its commitment to creating a fulfilling work environment where every employee is valued, empowered to grow, and encouraged to build a long-term career.
A Mindset of Serving the Community and Society
For KLC Group, success is measured not only by business performance but also by the positive values the enterprise brings to the community. A culture of giving and sharing has become a defining hallmark, radiating from within the Group out to society at large.
KLC Group takes pride in being commended by the Tax Department of District 7 – Nha Be District for exemplary tax compliance, and in receiving a Certificate of Merit from the People’s Committee of Nha Be District for outstanding achievements in business operations and financial obligations. These accolades affirm the Group’s transparency, legal compliance, positive contributions to the state budget, and active promotion of local socio-economic development.
KLC Group also actively participates in educational and social initiatives, such as awarding scholarships to outstanding students facing financial hardship, partnering in student development programs, signing a training collaboration agreement with HUTECH, and supporting numerous activities aimed at nurturing young talent.
The Group is committed to contributing even more to community development, education, and cultural initiatives, living up to its role as an exemplary corporate citizen. Philanthropic programs, scholarship funds, and initiatives supporting the younger generation will be further championed by KLC Group to join hands in building a prosperous future—not only for the enterprise, but for the entire surrounding community.
Backed by a rock-solid foundation, strategic vision, and an enthusiastic team, KLC Group firmly believes that its journey of “Illuminating the Orient” will shine ever brighter, solidifying the stature of a global conglomerate carrying Vietnamese pride in an era of international integration.
