Production in figures
We would like to illustrate the size and scope of our production facilities with some figures and comparisons: At our two production sites in Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Dinh Province, 704 employees manufacture more than 1,156,180 Tatonka products per year on about 1,030 machines and in about 2,260 working hours. At our Binh Dinh factory, about 65% of our daily electricity needs are generated by our own photovoltaic system. Since opening in 2011, over 400 people have already visited the OPEN FACTORY in the city on the west bank of the Saigon River.
