Comments on the business situation of the company That sale from the above-noted services has soared over years proves that the company has done business more and more effectively. This existed because the company has always kept old customers and tried to look for new customers. Through two data sheets, it is possible to see that the company’s business activities has succeeded and brought about a lot of profit. The objective reason for the company’s success is that the integration path and the need of Exporting and Importing goods must have steadily increased, which contributed to the increase in the number of customers and goods. The subjective reason is that the company must have operated effectively and been credited by customers. Thanks to the experienced and professional employees line-up together with the Marketing line-up’s assistance in searching for customers, Cong Thanh Co., Ltd has increasingly enhanced its prestige on the international market.  List of Typical clients of Cong Thanh Co., Ltd:  Taewang Vina Co., Ltd (manufactures sneakers)  Vietnam Changshin Co., Ltd (manufactures sneakers – Nike)  Viet Vinh – Dona Victor Co., Ltd (manufactures trainers – Nike)  Dona Pacific Co., Ltd (manufactures trainers – Nike)  Dong Phuong – Dona Orient Co., Ltd (majors in trainers – Reebook, Adidas)  Hoa Sen Garments Co. – Trang Bang Industrial zone (manufactures Garments)  Vietnam Tapioca Co., Ltd (majors in wheat)  Vietnam Kenda Co., Ltd  All Super Co., Ltd (majors in Garments)  ShingMark Co., Ltd (manufactures wooden cabinets and beds)  Vietnam Tiger Drylac Co., Ltd (majors in polyester powder) Etc Page 12
