FUJIYA, established in 1923, is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) manufacturing and selling tools such as pliers and nippers. FUJIYA established FMV in 2007, as demand for tools in Vietnam was increasing backed by growing income, while there were not many other Japanese, American or European manufacturers selling tools in Vietnam until very recently. The company plans to expand its business through the expansion of FMV's production facility in Vietnam. Thereby, the loan will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries through supporting the overseas business deployment of FUJIYA.

As Japan's policy-based financial institution, JBIC will continue to support the overseas business deployment of Japanese companies, including mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, in growing markets such as Vietnam, by drawing on its various financial facilities and schemes for structuring projects, and performing its risk-assuming function.
