HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 13, WALOVI hosted a distributor recruitment event in Ho Chi Minh City and officially launched its WALOVI Vietnam can. The brand also showcased its international can lineup at the 5th China (Vietnam) Export Brand Joint Exhibition, drawing over 30,000 international buyers and distributors.
Attendees included Tran Ngoc Liem, General Director of VCCI-HCMC, Nguyen Phuc Khoa, Vice President of the Vietnam Retailers Association. Representing WALOVI were Ye Jizeng, Vice President of WALOVI Great Health, and Wang Jianli and Rao Bing, Vice President of WALOVI International.
As a key economy in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has a rising demand for health-conscious products — aligning closely with WALOVI's natural plant beverage portfolio. According to Wang Jianli, since stepping up its Vietnam operations in 2021, WALOVI has achieved a compound annual growth rate of 95%, making Vietnam one of the company's most important markets in Southeast Asia.
The launch of the WALOVI Vietnam can reflects WALOVI's commitment to expanding its presence in the country, which the company views as its most strategic market in Southeast Asia. With products, branding and operations tailored to local preferences, WALOVI aims to introduce its natural plant wellness beverage tradition to consumers across the region. Local distributors said WALOVI's refreshing flavor pairs well with Vietnam's climate and cuisine. The brand has already built a strong local following, and the new Vietnam edition can is expected to resonate even more with local consumers.
At the exhibition, WALOVI also met with distributors from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries to discuss potential partnerships. Liu Qiang, CEO of Bach Duong Trading Import Export Company Limited — WALOVI's agent in Vietnam — said the "Chinese quality" is helping company go global, with several partnership agreements reached during the exhibition.
In 2026, WALOVI plans to expand its partner network to 60–80 markets worldwide. Earlier this year, WALOVI Global Partner Conference in Guangzhou resulted in partnerships with companies from ten countries, extending the brand's reach into emerging markets including South America, Africa and Central Asia. Looking ahead, WALOVI plans to build its Southeast Asia distribution network from Vietnam, reaching markets in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia while continuing to strengthen its regional supply chain network.
From "WALOVI in China" to "WALOVI for the world," the brand is using localized operations to bring its natural plant beverage tradition to consumers globally.

WALOVI Debuts WALOVI Vietnam Can, Expands Southeast Asia Presence Through Localized Operations
OTTAWA, ON, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gastops, a Canadian leader in intelligent condition monitoring and maintenance solutions, today announced it has been awarded a contract for FluidSIGHT™ under Canada's Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program as a Test Drives participant in the All Systems Go! challenge.
Test Drives enable the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to evaluate innovative technologies in realistic operating environments to assess their potential to address future defence capability needs. As part of this effort, Gastops will further adapt and demonstrate its FluidSIGHT technology in support of advanced health and usage monitoring applications onboard military land vehicles, helping inform future capability decisions.
FluidSIGHT is a real-time oil condition, contamination, and wear monitoring system that provides continuous insight into the health of lubricated systems directly at the asset. FluidSIGHT allows operators to transition from periodic oil sampling to continuous, real-time condition awareness.
The IDEaS program has played a key role in advancing FluidSIGHT's technical maturity. Through participation in an IDEaS Competitive Projects challenge, Gastops has progressed FluidSIGHT from an early proof‑of‑concept to a deployable, testable system suitable for evaluation. The Test Drives phase represents a critical step in validating the technology's performance, integration readiness, and operational relevance alongside DND and CAF stakeholders.
"Being selected for IDEaS Test Drives reflects both the technical maturity of FluidSIGHT and its alignment with Canada's defence innovation priorities," said Shaun Horning, President and CEO at Gastops. "The IDEaS program has allowed us to systematically mature FluidSIGHT from concept to a product that can now be evaluated in a brand-new environment, military land vehicles, helping demonstrate how real-time oil condition awareness can improve equipment availability, safety, and maintenance decision‑making."
Gastops brings decades of experience delivering diagnostics, prognostics, and condition‑based maintenance solutions for mission‑critical platforms across aerospace, defence, marine, energy, and industrial sectors. The IDEaS Test Drives project builds on this foundation and supports Canada's objective to accelerate the adoption of innovative, Canadian-developed technologies in defence and security applications.
