Mr. Nguyen Viet Thai (born in 1983) is a worker who has just been commended by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor at the 1st Conference to honor 95 outstanding workers who are members of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 2025.
Sharing about this joy, Mr. Nguyen Viet Thai said that this is a source of pride and motivation for him to continue to strive to contribute to building the increasingly rich and beautiful land of Lai Chau.
The capital comes from a soldier with determination, ready to accept all tasks assigned by superiors. After completing his military service, Mr. Thai overcame all difficulties to study an intermediate level of electricity and returned to work as a worker at Tam Duong Tea Development Investment Joint Stock Company, Lai Chau.
As a direct production worker at a tea factory, applying the knowledge he has learned, Mr. Thai has researched, upgraded and improved equipment, machinery and electrical systems. In particular, he can proficiently carry out the winding of the engine when the production process has an incident.
When a sudden power outage caused a power outage, causing the engine to burn and not be able to operate, he wrapped the engine back at the factory to help the production line quickly return to operation. From the ability to handle this incident, each year the company has reduced costs by 20-30 million VND.
Mr. Thai was also assigned to be in charge of operating tea production equipment, preventing accidents and unsafe working conditions.
From practical production labor, with passion and enthusiasm, Mr. Nguyen Viet Thai has had 2 initiatives that meet OCOP standards, including: "Solution to improve the technology of conveyor belt transferring to tea processing system shaping" and "Solution for product development model of Tam Duong Tea Development Investment Joint Stock Company". In particular, the "Solution to improve the technology of conveyor belt transfer to tea with a shaping machine system" has created a replacement device with 2 production workers to reduce costs for the company by 120 million VND/year.
After 17 years of working, worker Nguyen Viet Thai has overcome all difficulties, becoming an outstanding worker with high skills. Since 2013, Mr. Thai has been honored to be in the ranks of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
