“Queen of Bolts and Nuts, Nguyen Thi Thuy, is a woman who proves the saying ‘Form is temporary, class is forever‘ by daring to venture into a field that is often considered dry and dominated by men, leading to her tremendous success today.

Operating in the production and business of bolts and nuts, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuy (CEO of Cuong Thinh Industrial and Trading Joint Stock Company – CTEG) has earned the title ‘Queen of Bolts and Nuts.’ She reveals that this impressive title came about when she became a trailblazer, daring to enter a field that is usually dry and predominantly male. Strong, resilient, beautiful, and successful – these are the qualities that define this ‘powerful woman‘ after years of confidently “steering” the company through numerous challenges and difficulties to achieve the great success it enjoys today.

A fascinating detail about Mrs. Thuy’s business journey is that everything started by chance, as a perfect example of the saying ‘the profession chooses the person.’ Coming from a background in accounting and finance, she never imagined herself venturing into business. However, in 2014, she shifted to the business of fasteners, going through several significant milestones, from small-scale domestic trade to directly importing in 2016. The year 2017 marked an important turning point in her career when she received an offer to buy a production line for screws and build her own brand.

Her business philosophy is ‘Win – Win‘; she always seeks ways to provide her partners with better job opportunities and lives. For customers, she believes that adding value in terms of product quality and competitive pricing is the most important factor. Although she is the head of the company, she always takes time to encourage and create conditions for employees to continuously improve and harness their strengths, fostering long-term connections within the company, which grows into a powerful collective. These motivations have driven her to continuously improve products and services, as well as create a professional working environment to build lasting trust with customers and employees who work alongside her.

Starting from scratch, through effort and perseverance, she succeeded in expanding her business and creating value for customers. Her credibility has opened many doors for strategic partnerships with like-minded partners who support each other to grow together. She always considers product quality as the fundamental basis and seeks ways to improve the products and services to provide the best quality to customers. Under her leadership, in just a few years, Cuong Thinh Bolts has become a leading provider of bolts and nuts, operating in the production, import, and distribution of materials both wholesale and retail for businesses and factories across various industries. With a bolt manufacturing capacity of 5,000 – 10,000 pieces/day and a screw production line of 150 tons/month.”

With a calm demeanor and concise language, a habit of someone in the technical field, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuy shares her leadership secret, which is valuing talent. With her “iron fist in a velvet glove,” she has built a team of responsible employees who work effectively.

Not only achieving economic goals, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuy and CTEG always prioritize accompanying meaningful social activities to create positive values for the community. She also hopes to spread her own story to inspire women to not set limits for themselves just because they are women. Instead, they should be determined and responsible for their passions. When you are truly passionate about something, you will always strive without feeling exhausted, which increases your chances of success.

Moreover, as a very busy CEO, Mrs. Thuy is still a traditional Vietnamese woman. Like other mothers, she loves her children, teaches them in her own way, and always knows how to balance work and family. Her dedication is a shining example for the CTEG team to follow, as we work alongside her to build and develop the company, aiming to fulfill the dream of advancing Vietnamese bolts and nuts to be on par with advanced countries worldwide. At the same time, we strive to make Vietnamese people proud of high-quality products with the ‘Made in Vietnam‘ brand.
