KYOTOSEIKO, which was founded in 1995, is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) manufacturing and selling automatic machine and inspection machine. Specifically, the company produces leak test machines, which inspect leakages of various automobile parts; picture inspection machines, which inspect and sort out printed surface at high-speed; and various automatic assembly and inspection machines, which clamp bolts as well as press fit, insert and assemble parts. It has received high credit from the customers for maintenance after product delivery and meticulous after-sales service. In Indonesia where its automobile market is expected to expand backed by robust economic growth, a number of Japanese auto parts makers have been extending their operations along with Japanese vehicle assembly manufacturers, and demand for auto-related inspection machines is also foreseen to increase. KYOTOSEIKO established KSI in January 2013 in Indonesia and intends to expand its overseas market share. Thus, this loan will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries through support for the overseas business deployment of KYOTOSEIKO.
