The company is committed to sustainable manufacturing, focusing on long-lasting products that reduce replacement frequency, minimize waste, and contribute to eco-friendly construction.

🌟 What Makes Hoa Sen Mag Shield Different?

At its core, Hoa Sen Mag Shield is engineered to outperform conventional galvanized steel in durability, strength, and long-term performance. Using a continuous hot-dip coating process, the product features a precisely formulated Zinc–Aluminum–Magnesium alloy that delivers:

  • 3–5× Higher Corrosion Resistance compared to traditional galvanized steel
  • 2× Coating Hardness for greater wear resistance and longevity
  • Self-Healing Protection at cut edges and drilled areas, thanks to the presence of magnesium in the alloy
  • High Formability for easier shaping, bending, and design flexibility without compromising surface quality

🏗 Designed for Demanding Environments

From coastal industrial zones to high-tech agricultural facilities and renewable energy projects, Hoa Sen Mag Shield is purpose-built to thrive in harsh conditions. Its durability ensures that structures remain reliable and visually appealing for decades.

Potential Applications Include:

  • Pre-engineered warehouses and factories in marine climates
  • Greenhouses, livestock facilities, and other agricultural structures
  • Solar panel mounting systems, cable trays, and control cabinets
  • Guardrails, public shelters, and roadside protective infrastructure
  • Premium residential and commercial roofing and wall cladding
  • Industrial machinery and consumer products with rust-proof casings

🔬 International Standards & Long-Term Warranty

Hoa Sen Mag Shield is produced under globally recognized certifications, including:

  • JIS (Japan)

📈 Malaysia Ends Anti-Dumping Duties on Vietnamese Steel

In a positive trade development, Malaysia’s Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) announced on June 21, 2025, that anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled non-alloy steel from Vietnam and South Korea will be lifted, effective June 23, 2025.

This decision comes after a review initiated in December 2024, following a petition from Mycron Steel CRC Sdn. Bhd.. The ruling removes tariffs and further investigation for Vietnamese and South Korean exporters, providing a competitive boost to both countries’ steel industries.

Impact on Other Exporters

  • China:
    • Angang Steel, Maanshan Iron & Steel, Shougang Jingtang – 4.82% to 8.74% duties
    • All other Chinese exporters – 26.38% duties
  • Japan:
    • All exporters – 26.39% duties

These duties will remain in force for five years until June 22, 2030.

🔍 Strategic Implications for Vietnam’s Steel Sector

The simultaneous launch of Hoa Sen Mag Shield and the removal of Malaysian tariffs creates a rare window of opportunity for Vietnamese steel producers:

  • Enhanced Export Competitiveness in Malaysia’s growing construction and manufacturing sectors.
  • Product Differentiation via advanced coated steel solutions like Mag Shield.
  • Increased Market Access without the burden of anti-dumping duties.
