Automated Technology (Phil.) Inc. (ATEC) launched new dedicated production lines to serve Taiwan-based Panjit International Inc., a leading global semiconductor manufacturer, the Board of Investments (BOI) said Tuesday.
The BOI said the expansion would strengthen the Philippines’ position in the global semiconductor and automotive value chains, particularly in the fast-growing electric vehicle (EV) segment.
Panjit president Jeff Fang said expanding capacity and setting up in the Philippines is a forward-looking move amid global trade shifts.
“Excellence is embedded in our service—quality is what we consistently deliver,” he said adding that Panjit, one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers in China with trading ties in over 10 countries, sees this investment as “planting a seed for the future,” particularly in light of the current US tariff conditions.
ATEC, a Filipino outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider, plays a vital role in driving high-value manufacturing in the country.
