Traenco Joint Stock Company, formerly a State-owned enterprise named Construction and Trade Company under the management of the Ministry of Transport, was equitised in 2005.
On April 24, 2017, the company was officially listed on UPCOM under the code TEC with the reference price of VNĐ7,000 per share, having charter capital of VNĐ16.6 billion.
The major shareholders of TEC include SCIC, owning 19.4 per cent of capital, Chairman Bùi Hồng Quân, holding 17.2 per cent, two members of the Board of Directors who are Nguyễn Tiến Hùng, holding 15 per cent and Nguyễn Hữu Điểm, with 8.5 per cent.
TEC operates mainly in labour export, construction and trading of construction materials. In recent years, the labour export segment has contributed the largest proportion of more than 70 per cent of total revenue.
In 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, labour export activities are significantly affected, thereby directly hurting the operation of the company. — VNS
