Saraya, established in 1959, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) engaged in the manufacture and sales of health and hygiene products, established SMTC in 2004. The company plans to expand its market share of health and hygiene products manufacturing and sales through SMTC, while demand for various sanitation products such as liquid soap, detergent and disinfectant is expected to increase backed by the steady economic growth of Thailand and neighboring countries. Thereby, the loan will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries through supporting the overseas business deployment of Saraya.

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 Thailand, by drawing on its various financial facilities, including loans to meet the need for local currency funding, and schemes for structuring projects, and performing its risk-assuming function.
