Masan High-Tech Materials: How a Vietnamese Company Is Building a Role in Global Strategic Materials Supply Chains

THAI NGUYEN, Vietnam, Sept 14 (Bernama) -- As global strategic-minerals supply chains are reshaped, competitive advantage is no longer defined by resource ownership alone. The ability to combine long-life resources with advanced processing capabilities and an international partner network is becoming increasingly important. Against this backdrop, Masan High-Tech Materials (UPCoM: MSR), a publicly traded Vietnamese strategic materials company, is expanding beyond its mining roots by connecting resources, processing capabilities and international partnerships across the global tungsten value chain.

When Supply-Chain Capabilities Become a Strategic Advantage

Tungsten is increasingly viewed as a strategic material rather than simply an industrial metal. It is used across a range of advanced technology and industrial applications, including semiconductors, AI infrastructure, batteries, additive manufacturing and defense systems. While demand continues to expand, supply remains highly concentrated, with China accounting for approximately 82% of global tungsten production.
