BOLTZ is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) engaged in the manufacturing and sales of fastenings, such as engine bolts and piston pins, for automotive parts including the engine, steering, and transmission. In August 2013, BOLTZ established PT. BZI in Indonesia, where demand for automobiles and motorcycles is expected to increase on the back of the country’s steady economic growth. BOLTZ seeks to increase its overseas fastening product market share through local production. Through the support of such overseas business deployment of BOLTZ by Indonesian rupiah loan, this financing will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.
