BBM secures P1.3B investment commitments from Swiss firms

  • January 25, 2023
  • Bilyonaryo.com

The Board of Investments (BOI) said Wednesday the Philippines has secured initial investment commitments from Swiss companies, amounting $24.7 million (P1.3 billion) during the country’s investment mission to Switzerland.

These potential investments were generated during the business meetings organized by the Philippine Trade Investment Center (PTIC) in Geneva, Bern and Zug in Switzerland from January 9 to 13.

These business meetings were conducted on the sidelines of the Philippines-European Free Trade Agreement (EFTA) meeting and the 5th Joint Economic Commission (JEC) meeting between the Philippines and Switzerland.

“With no less than the President as the country’s number one salesperson in pitching the Philippines, the country’s improved business climate continues to soar high as several multinational companies ramp up their interests in setting up businesses in the country along with existing firms expanding their investment portfolios,” Trade Undersecretary and BOI managing head Ceferino Rodolfo said.

The $24.7-million investment pledges, which are expected to generate 475 jobs, came from the keypad and silicone sensor manufacturer, Sateco AG and startup company, NaturaLoop.

Sateco AG aims to invest $9.7 million (P530.5 million) for a manufacturing facility at the TECO Industrial Park. The manufacturing plant is expected to be completed by 2024.

NaturaLoop also plans to set up a $15-million Cocoboard factory in the Philippines.

NaturaLoop is developing a supply chain for coconut husks in the Quezon province with local partners ProSource International Inc. and Quezon Federation and Union of Cooperatives.

For the past five years, investments of Swiss companies in major investment promotion agencies amounted to P1.4 billion, with notable projects from companies such as Nestle, Avaloq and CPW. (PNA)
