He is also the youngest entrepreneur of Ninh Binh awarded the title of Labor Hero in the renovation period, but surprisingly, he started his career as a bicycle repairman.

Not properly trained but a series of bold ideas in the field of mechanics have become a reality, making a great contribution to the country.

Starting a car mechanic's career

Mr. Nguyen Tang Cuong was born and raised in the spiritual land of Hoa Lu, Ninh Binh province. In 1986, after leaving the army, Mr. Cuong started his career as a bicycle and motorbike repairer. With curiosity and creativity, he "dissected" hundreds of motorcycles, cranes, replace old parts, improve functions to help them "revive". Soon, his workmanship became famous throughout the "car-cutting" world in Ninh Binh.

Realizing that the profession of mechanics is growing and the market is wide open, in 1992, Mr. Cuong decided to establish Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise with 9 members and focused deeply on the field of metallurgy, casting and manufacturing. heat-resistant, wear-resistant and acid-resistant steels ... A series of products of Quang Trung Mechanical have been put into use in cement and chemical plants at prices of only 50-60% of the goods. imported.

Who would have thought that motorbike and bicycle repairmen would “research” every year to research and produce lifting equipment with large capacity from 10 to 80 tons for shipbuilding industry. Next, large lifting equipment from 100 tons to 1,200 tons were born one after another, effectively serving

Recently, the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has approved the renting price of the anti-flood pump service on Nguyen Huu Canh street for nearly 10 billion dong / year. The city rated this pump as essentially effective, helping the vehicle to move more conveniently.
Mr. Cuong said, in May 2014, the Prime Minister agreed on the policy and the Ministry of Transport approved the Project to build 186 suspension bridges in 28 provinces of the Northern Mountains, Central and Central Highlands. The Ministry of Transport has set a rather urgent goal: In 9 months, 186 suspended bridges must be built. Realizing that his business is competent with well-trained architects and engineers, possessing many of the most modern technology machines, Mr. Cuong is confident that he can implement this project.

After considering the capacity of many businesses, the Ministry of Transport has "chosen to send gold" and delivered the 186-bridge project to Quang Trung Mechanical as the survey, design and construction contractor. To implement the project, the Ministry of Transport requested Quang Trung Industry Group to quickly design typical typical suspension bridge samples from 30m, 40m, 50m to 200m for the Ministry's approval. Mr. Nguyen Tang Cuong said, after only 1 month, the company's engineering team has completed all the typical designs, submitted to the Ministry of Transport for approval. And in the same month, with a strong team of workers and applying the technology of "casting suspension bridges in the factory", Mr. Nguyen Tang Cuong instructed officials and engineers to finish 30 suspension bridges, making private traffic command at that time, Mr. Dinh La Thang was not surprised. The name "crane king" was given by the people in the mountainous provinces ...

Up to now, with more than 50 types of cranes with the localization rate of over 85%, Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise, led by Mr. Nguyen Tang Cuong, has opened a new page for Vietnam's mechanical industry, saving foreign sources. major currencies for the country due to restrictions on imports of heavy industrial equipment. With that success, in 2000 Mr. Cuong was awarded the title of Labor Hero in the renovation period; Quang Trung Mechanical Factory was awarded the Medal of Labor 3 times and became the Joint Stock Company of Quang Trung Industrial Group, ranked No.1 in Vietnam for manufacturing large cranes with factory area. over 100ha, 4 units directly under and create jobs for thousands of workers ...

"Giants" go against flooding

From a car mechanic making a career with the dream of escaping from poverty, Mr. Cuong has become a "giant" with a capital of up to millions of billion, but he does not play super cars, does not buy private aircraft. but always live with his love of mechanical engineering. Recently, the story that he made many people suspect and murmur is to declare flood protection for Nguyen Huu Canh Street (Ho Chi Minh City) with the pledge "not to get completely flooded, not to take money".

Many people believe that he "chill the wind" for fun, how the project fails because the characteristic of Ho Chi Minh City is often flooded by high tides, plus the problem of garbage and traffic jams, not to mention the city has many The pump is not operating effectively. 

Before many concerns, Mr. Cuong is still determined to make this work and the fact that in 2018, the super pump system he built has had more than 20 successful water absorption.

Mr. Cuong and his team of engineers have worked out a specific pump for Ho Chi Minh City. “The city's sewer system is small, the flow is slow, I use a centrifugal pump to make the flow faster, 2 times better, 10 times better, especially suction and filtering all garbage. Based on that principle I do, ”Mr. Cuong said.

Nguyen Huu Canh Street has been flooded for more than a decade now. There is also a flood control center pump, but it takes 7-15 hours to drain the water. “Now my system only takes less than 15 minutes to save the entire 75ha area. People will self-assess how effective, ”Mr. Cuong said confidently.
