FASIC is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) specializing in development of private brands for retailers of men's clothes as well as for women's clothes, such as suits and jackets. The company is mainly planning, manufacturing and supplying its products to major volume sellers of suits. In March 2011, FASIC established PTFI in Indonesia as its production base under China plus one policy, for it has geographical advantage with access to its export destinations, Japan and Korea, in addition to having inexpensive and abundant labor force. Since FASIC has its sights on local production and consumption type business, it intends to increase the local market share by strengthening its production system in Indonesia where the market of textile products is expected to increase due to expansion of domestic demand along with the country's stable economic growth. Thus, this loan will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries through support for the overseas business deployment of FASIC.
