As Vietnam attracts strong FDI inflows and demand for industrial meals rises sharply, the domestic company Stavi has steadily built its position through its commitment to quality and food safety.

FDI reshapes the industrial catering landscape

Over the past 10 years, Vietnam's industrial catering industry has made great strides, keeping pace with the growth of industrial parks, schools and office-based businesses, all of which have a high demand for professional food services. According to figures from the Ministry of Planning and Investment over the years, FDI inflows into Vietnam in the 2014–2024 period exceeded USD 210 billion, reflecting the growing confidence of international investors in the country's stable business environment and abundant workforce.

At the same time, modern lifestyles and the pace of industrial life have driven ever-increasing demand for quick, convenient meals that still deliver nutritional value and safety. In export processing zones, factories and schools, the standard for a quality meal has become an indispensable requirement.

Stavi – A brand-building journey grounded in real-world quality

Understanding the market's transformation, Stavi was founded with the goal of providing safe, quality-assured meals and "bringing happy meals to customers". Over a decade of operation, Stavi has continuously improved and grown on a foundation of professional service, transparent operating processes and, above all, strict compliance with food safety and hygiene regulations.

The Stavi brand is now the trusted choice of many large domestic and foreign enterprises. Notable partners include Wilmar, Canon, Toyota, Coca-Cola, Nissei, Taisei, Fujikura and Esoft, along with domestic groups such as Techcombank, Hoa Phat and Hoa Binh - Latrobe. This demonstrates the market's enduring confidence in Stavi in the industrial catering segment.

Food safety – The core element of Stavi's growth strategy

Holding the view that "food safety is a matter of survival", Stavi has always prioritised investment in its people and operating systems. The company's staff receive regular training to keep their knowledge and skills in food safety and hygiene up to date. At the same time, internal control and supplier evaluation systems are rigorously enforced: all ingredient suppliers must pass quality assessment steps and hold complete quarantine documentation, certificates of origin and valid invoices.

The kitchens in the Stavi system are built on a closed, one-way flow model in full compliance with Ministry of Health standards. All facilities hold certificates of eligibility for food safety. Notably, Stavi is also one of the reputable industrial catering providers to have held ISO 22000:2018 certification continuously throughout the past 10 years. Furthermore, the company provides meal insurance for all of its customers, a clear demonstration of its commitment to protecting public health.

The far-reaching vision of a Vietnamese enterprise

Remarkably, throughout a decade of operation, Stavi is among the very few industrial catering providers in Vietnam never to have recorded a single food poisoning incident. This achievement not only reflects Stavi's commitment to quality and safety but also demonstrates the strong management capability of a Vietnamese enterprise.

So how has Stavi built trust with major partners and retained their confidence over the past 10 years? Mr. Nguyen Quang Manh, Director of Sao Viet Nam Production Trading Services Co., Ltd., shares: "We understand that in the industrial catering industry, quality and reputation are the decisive factors in earning customers' long-term trust. Stavi focuses on building a tightly managed system, from ingredients to preparation, together with listening to and precisely meeting the needs of each customer. With our partners, we always listen to each customer's needs and build an operating plan tailored to each of them; in addition, we strictly comply with industry standards, never 'compromising' on unsafe food at any price, while maintaining decency, transparency and consistency in our business. It is this commitment and rigorous execution that has allowed us to retain contracts with major partners for many consecutive years."

In an increasingly competitive industrial catering market, Stavi's 10-year journey is not only proof of the capability and steadfastness of a Vietnamese enterprise, but also a symbol of enduring values: "Quality as the foundation, customers at the centre".
