Saigon Cosmetics and Dodging Motorcycles

This morning we spent visiting Saigon Cosmetics, listening to their chief marketing director, as well as our own group from Loyola give presentations regarding the company and possible future marketing plans. The most interesting aspect of the visit for me was imagining the possibilities that this company could undertake in the future. From my perspective, it is a very small operation. But they have they drive and ambition to be a major player in the cosmetics world in the near future. They have the space, the knowledge, the people, and just about everything else needed to make strong inroads into additional markets as well as the Vietnamese market.

While touring the manufacturing facility, I took particular note of their quality operations. Brian Murphy was talking with one of the staff about their inspection and testing processes which were very interesting. Ben Ruf and I noticed the problems they were having with their soap extrusion process and pondered possible solutions.

Ok - enough of that. On to the motorcycle dodging. Here is a video of Steve and Kyle trying to get good footage of the madness that is the motorcycle traffic here in Saigon.
