25/07/2008 22:11:37 Sony to close Vietnam TV plant
 
 
The Japanese electronics company Sony says it plans to close its television assembly plant in Vietnam at the end of September with the loss of 200 jobs.

The Ho Chi Minh City plant has been producing television sets with cathode ray tubes and liquid crystal displays for Vietnam's domestic market since 1994.

However, a Sony spokeswoman says demand for the TVs has been shrinking in recent years, and supplies will now be met byplants in Malaysia and Thailand.
