In parallel, VACS made significant investments in infrastructure, including renovations of office spaces and departments, as well as upgrades to KIOSKs and the main gate, creating a modern and professional working environment. These improvements not only marked 2024 but will continue to be a focus in 2025, promising groundbreaking advancements.

As a pioneering enterprise adapting to the new era, VACS consistently integrates technology and digital transformation into management and operations.
