At the invitation of SUMOU & BUNA Group, Mr. Tran Quang Tuan – Chairman and CEO of CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company – recently undertook a special business trip to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. CENTRAL is currently serving as the main contractor for key construction packages of the iconic Sumou Towers project – a mixed-use development comprising residential apartments and a hotel, with twin towers reaching 71 stories, located on the shores of the Red Sea.
This working visit marks a significant follow-up to the 2024 visit to Vietnam by SUMOU & BUNA’s executive leaderships, which concluded with a highly positive evaluation. It also provided Chairman and CEO of CENTRAL the opportunity to meet directly with Dr. Ayedh Farhan Al-Qahtani – Chairman of SUMOU & BUNA Group – and senior managers to review construction progress, evaluate quality, and explore deeper, long-term cooperation.
Built on a foundation of an increasingly solid partnership, these meetings have opened up various strategic opportunities for CENTRAL in the Middle East – a region currently undergoing transformative growth, particularly aligned with the Saudi Vision 2030 roadmap and preparations for the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
With a pioneering spirit, the support of prestigious international partners, and a steadfast commitment to exceeding construction standards, CENTRAL continues to affirm its capabilities as a Vietnamese general contractor with a global outlook – progressively conquering new milestones in its journey of innovation and excellence.
The investor highly commended CENTRAL’s capabilities in comprehensive coordination, timeline management, and quality control – all critical factors in a large-scale project spanning over 415,000 m², featuring 5-star hotels, branded residences, shopping centers, and state-of-the-art amenities.
At the construction site, CENTRAL’s Chairman/CEO personally inspected the progress, engaged with engineers and workers, and acknowledged their relentless efforts and determination. Operating in a multicultural, multinational environment, the team’s dedication has become a source of pride. Leadership engagement serves as a powerful motivator, empowering the on-site management team to overcome future challenges with confidence.
CENTRAL recognizes that in order to thrive in demanding markets such as the Middle East, it must continuously strengthen internal capacities, modernize its management systems, embrace digital transformation, and cultivate a highly professional workforce. At CENTRAL, quality is not merely a standard—it is an identity, a commitment, and the very path to global recognition.
Regardless of the project location—domestically or internationally—precision, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment remain non-negotiable principles. These core values distinguish CENTRAL as a professional, dedicated, and visionary organization, continually asserting its position through resilience, integrity, and excellence. Today’s efforts lay the groundwork for CENTRAL’s growth, adaptability, and forward momentum.
Additional highlights from the business trip:
Concluding the four-day business trip in Saudi Arabia, CENTRAL’s leadership team will continue their journey with a three-day visit to Dubai and Qatar for further meetings with key strategic and potential partners.
