Zeno Tech, established in 1991, is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) whose core products are powder metallurgy dies and cold forging dies. In 2014, Zeno Tech set up ZTI in Indonesia, where demand for automobiles and motorcycles is expected to grow, with the aim of increasing its overseas market share of powder metallurgy dies through local production, and by applying its advanced technology to produce high-quality dies. Through the support of such overseas business deployment of Zeno Tech, this financing will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.
