Deputy wished, after restructuring to a joint stock company, Viglacera would continue to grow, and become a strong brand in Vietnam and in the region.

During the 40 years of development, Viglacera has undergone several changes in name and organizational models, but this restructure can be an important turning point for the Corporation. The joint stock model creates more opportunities than challenges for the Corporation. Along with equitization and implementation of the enterprise restructuring proposal that was approved by the Ministry of Construction, Viglacera has been changing organizational management and executive management procedure, expanding opportunities to approach capital markets and diversing funding methods in order to increase production and financial capacity. Equitization process in conjunction with the reorganization of production and commercial management systems activity generates specialization in production and distribution of products to the market. Thus, Viglacera can continue to grow, develop, and become a multinational business.
