Thien Long was initially established as a small unit in District 6, Ho Chi Minh City. Previously, it was only famous for its TL pens. However, in 2008 Thien Long invested in building the Thien Long-Long Thanh Plant in Dong Nai Province and upgrading its factories with advanced machines and technology. Defining its orientation of “supplying stationery and different kinds of pens for study and conquering the intellectual peak”, Thien Long has focused on diversifying and improving the quality of its products. It always attaches much importance to researching carefully all details in every stage. For instance, the core of ball-point pens must be tested both manually and by machine. If the ink doesn’t run smoothly, it will be made again. The pen points also must ensure a proper amount of ink to make writing look smooth.
The covers of pens or office supplies like documentary files, glues, pen brushes and correction pens are made in diverse sizes and designs with different functions to meet the demand of customers. Thien Long products are produced with “green criteria” so they are not harmful to users and are much sought after by customers, such as high-grade BIZNER brand name pens with a luxurious and delicate design for businessmen, FlexOffice office supplies of different types; Colokid fine art tools or student tools of Mark 10 with eye-catching designs that trigger students’ creativeness.
To increase the competitiveness and reduce the price of products, Thien Long invested in manufacturing machines to make moulds that speed up the production process and improve the precision. The whole system of machines in the plant is run under international management standards, including ISO 9000, ISO 14001, SA 8000, OHSAS 18001 and ICTI CARE.
Thanks to its high quality and diverse designs, Thien Long’s products are now the favourite in the domestic market and are sold in all provinces and cities nationwide through a network of 145 distributors and 100,000 retail agents. Furthermore, they are also exported to over 40 countries around the world. Thien Long also established a network of representative offices in the UK, Germany and Southeast Asian region. In recent years, the group has had an average growth rate of 20%/year and reached a total revenue of 1,6000 billion dong in 2014.
The Thien Long Group specialises in manufacturing different types of pens and stationery.
