GLASEL, established in 1960, is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) that plans, designs and sells a wide range of containers for cosmetics, medicine, reagent and health foods. The company established GTCL to capture market share related to cosmetics in ASEAN, where demand is increasing as the middle-income class is growing in line with economic development. Therefore, this loan contributes to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries, through supporting the overseas expansion of GLASEL.
