The loan is intended to provide SHIPPO MOULDS with the necessary funds to establish the die-casting mold manufacturing and sales business of DMS MOLDES MEXICO, S.A. DE C.V. (DMM), a Mexican subsidiary that SHIPPO MOULDS jointly established with Matsuoka Special Steel CO., LTD. (MATSUOKA) and DAIDO DMS MEXICO S.A.

SHIPPO MOULDS is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) which manufactures and sells die-casting molds for auto engine and transmission parts. Given a wave of auto parts manufacturers advancing into Mexico responding to the growing demand for vehicles in North America, the company seeks to further expand its business in Mexico through DMM, the joint company established with DAIDO and MATSUOKA. Thereby, this loan will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries through the support of the overseas business development of SHIPPO MOULDS.
