Throughout GELEX’s 36-year journey, each generation of leadership has left its mark through different decisions, milestones, and chapters of growth. Yet one value has remained constant – integrity. It is a legacy passed from one generation of leaders to the next, forming the foundation on which GELEX has been built.
Successful companies are often remembered for their numbers – assets, revenue, profits, and growth milestones.
But behind those achievements are stories that are less often told: the critical decisions made at defining moments, the difficult choices, and the people who guided GELEX through every stage of its transformation.
At GELEX’s 36th anniversary celebration, held under the theme “Keeping the Trust,” these stories were shared for the first time through the perspectives of the Group’s past and present Chairmen, each of whom has played a unique role in shaping GELEX’s development.

Integrity: The Foundation Built from Day One
In its early years, as GELEX established its position in the electrical equipment industry, integrity was built through fundamentals: product quality, responsibility to customers, and a steadfast commitment to every promise made.
It was a time when trust was not earned through ambitious statements, but through consistent actions, by delivering on commitments and creating real value.
These principles laid the foundation for GELEX’s reputation within Vietnam’s industrial sector and became the cornerstone for the company’s future growth.
Integrity as a Strategic Asset
As GELEX expanded beyond its manufacturing roots, evolving into an industrial and infrastructure investment group, integrity took on a broader meaning.
It was no longer defined solely by the trust of customers. It also came to encompass the confidence of shareholders, investors, business partners, financial institutions, and the broader market.
As GELEX forged new partnerships and gained access to new sources of capital and opportunity, integrity became one of GELEX’s most valuable strategic assets, one that strengthened long-term relationships with leading partners and created the foundation for sustainable growth.

Passing on Values, Building the Future
Each generation of GELEX leaders has added a new chapter to the Group’s story.
If earlier generations built the foundation through perseverance and responsibility, today’s leaders are carrying those values forward with stronger governance, long-term thinking, and the ambition to create even greater value.

Speaking at the anniversary celebration, GELEX Chairman Nguyen Van Tuan emphasized that the achievements of previous generations have provided the foundation for the Group’s next stage of development.
“As GELEX works toward becoming Vietnam’s leading investment group – a symbol of Growth, Efficiency, and Sustainability, integrity is no longer just about preserving what we have built. It is about demonstrating our ability to deliver, continuously raising governance standards, and earning the lasting trust of all our stakeholders”.
Over the past 36 years, GELEX has transformed in scale, business model, and ambition. Yet some values have remained unchanged.
Because at GELEX, integrity is more than a slogan. It is a legacy built, preserved, and strengthened by generations of leaders, one that will continue to guide the Group’s journey into the future.
