Business services for FDI companies in Vietnam

Lost in HCM is the local partner a foreign-invested company calls when it lands in Ho Chi Minh City with a plan and a deadline. We rent and sell the equipment, house the team, print the marketing materials, run the exhibition booth and research the market, and we invoice all of it to your Vietnamese entity on a VAT e-invoice. One account manager, one number, English, Vietnamese and Japanese.

What we do

  • Test equipment rental — Keysight, Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz, Fluke and Rigol instruments from local stock, delivered calibrated with a valid certificate, by the week or month.
  • Tools and new instruments — Snap-on and CDI torque tools from stock; new instruments from the five brands with CO/CQ and manufacturer warranty.
  • Apartment and house rental — serviced apartments and houses for engineers and managers, near the CBD, Thảo Điền, Phú Mỹ Hưng or the industrial parks, contracted to the company where possible.
  • POSM printing — standees, banners, backdrops, brochures, labels and packaging mock-ups printed in Ho Chi Minh City in days, proofed in two languages.
  • Event and exhibition support — booth design and build, AV and demo equipment, bilingual staff, logistics and registration at SECC and the city hotels.
  • Market analysis — market sizing, competitor and distributor mapping, customer interviews and site comparisons, delivered as a decision-ready report.

Information for FDI teams

We also publish what we learn: the Ho Chi Minh City guide for expats with a page for every district, the FDI equipment solutions for factory, lab and office setup, and guides such as which calibration laboratories in Ho Chi Minh City are accredited and how to choose one. We do not run a calibration laboratory ourselves; we point you to the right one.
