DAIWA SEIKO is a mid-tier enterprise manufacturing and selling mainly agricultural machinery-related and automobile-related parts. The company set up in January 1997 DSPC in the Philippines as its overseas production base. Amid the expected growth of demand for automobile-related parts primarily in Asia, it intends to expand local business by expanding its production facilities. Thus, this loan contributes to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries through support for the overseas business deployment of DAIWA SEIKO.

As Japan's policy-based financial institution, JBIC will continue to support overseas business deployment of Japanese companies, including mid-tier enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in Asia's growing markets, by drawing on its various financial facilities and schemes for structuring projects, and performing its risk-assuming function.
