FPT Partners with KITZ to Boost Digital Transformation in Valve Manufacturing Industry
FPT Software, a subsidiary of FPT Corporation, and KITZ Corporation, a world-leading manufacturer of industrial valves and fluid control products, recently signed a strategic partnership agreement. The collaboration leverages FPT Software’s scalable workforce and robust expertise to accelerate the digital transformation initiatives across KITZ’s manufacturing and business operations.
Under the
agreement, FPT Software will provide digital solutions to enhance KITZ’s
product development and design, global supply chain, maintenance services, and
sales and marketing activities. FPT Software will also enhance KITZ’s IT
infrastructure through cutting-edge, AI-infused solutions to facilitate its
operation and manufacturing with greater precision, efficiency, and safety.
“Driving agility,
scalability, and enhanced productivity for our clients has always been FPT
Software’s priority. With two decades of experience accompanying industry
giants in Japan, a diversified delivery network, and a high-quality workforce
globally, we are confident to help KITZ streamline operations and improve
time-to-market to stay ahead of the rapidly changing manufacturing landscape,”
said Pham Minh Tuan, FPT Corporation Executive Vice President and FPT Software
Chief Executive Officer.
"I believe
that forming a strategic partnership with FPT, a company that provides the
latest technologies and services in the digital field, is a significant step
forward. We are currently constructing a factory in Vinh Phuc Province,
Vietnam, to manufacture and sell stainless steel valves, which are expected to
be in high demand in the future, and a factory to produce high-purity gas
valves for the semiconductor equipment market. In Vietnam, which is
experiencing remarkable growth, we will continue to provide products and
services tailored to our customers' markets and regions by partnering with FPT,
a global company that has been at the forefront of DX initiatives for many
companies,” said Makoto Kohno, KITZ Corporation Chief Executive Officer.
With nearly 20
years in Japan, FPT Software has become one of the largest foreign technology
firms in terms of workforce, with 3,500 employees across 17 local offices and
innovation hubs, as well as 15,000 global employees dedicated to the Japanese
market. The company has provided services and solutions to over 450 clients
worldwide, supporting their digital transformation through strategic consulting
services and advanced technological solutions such as AI, machine learning, and
cloud computing. The IT firm also plays a significant role in promoting
technology cooperation and development between Vietnam and Japan, notably an
active member of the Japan
Business Federation (Keidanren) and the chair of the Vietnam Association of
Digital Transformation in Japan (VADX Japan).
Manufacturing is among FPT
Software's key domains. It provides comprehensive strategies and execution
processes for digital factories on a global scale, leveraging its deep
expertise and wide skills network to deliver complex end-to-end projects that
enhance manufacturing operations. These proven competencies and success place
