Our story
How it Started
Originating in 1980 from modest beginnings, NGHIA emerged as a nipper sharpening shop nestled in a corner of a supermarket.
Fueled by a vision to secure a better life for his family, Minh Tuan Nguyen, the visionary behind NGHIA, diligently refined his sharpening craft day and night, aspiring for his nippers to stand as unrivaled choices for customers while ensuring sustenance for his family.
With burgeoning recognition, Tuan's siblings pooled their resources and motivated him to establish his very own brand. Committed to not letting his family down, Tuan toiled ceaselessly, seizing every available opportunity. Amid this journey, his wife, Thu Huong Nguyen, selflessly dedicated her time to support her husband's store.
Rooted in love, dedication, and ethical conduct, NGHIA evolved into a prominent brand recognized by all. NGHIA proudly embodying the spirit of Vietnam.
