MANILA -- Japanese owned manufacturing firm, Brother Industries Ltd. recently
signed an agreement with the Philippine government, whereby the company promises
to cooperate with the latter in growing its business, while positively
contributing to the country’s economic growth.
Brother
Industries President Terry
Koike penned the agreement during the recent
state visit of President Benigno Aquino III and key members of his Cabinet in
Japan, where Koike was among the executives of Japanese manufacturing firms who
met with the Philippine delegation.
Koike said, “It is important for Brother to strengthen
trust relationships with the Philippine government, which provides necessary
support for businesses like ours to thrive. In the same way, it is also vital
for the government to generate significant jobs and revenues from industries.”
During the meeting, Koike requested the Philippine government also
represented by Philippine Economic Zone Authority Director General Lilia B de
Lima, Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Gregory L. Domingo, and Secretary
to the Cabinet Jose Rene Almendras, to further improve infrastructure and human
resource skills training in the country.
More specifically, Koike emphasized the need for the Philippine
government to build key infrastructures like roads and ports, and to strengthen
the foundation for developing engineers specialized in mold design and
automation, among other skills needed by the industry.
Pres. Aquino’s team had, in turn, assured Koike that budget allocation for
improving infrastructure has been significantly increased, and that a second
highway between Manila and Batangas will be built to improve access to ports.
Aquino, who was the guest of honor last August 2013 at the opening
ceremony for Brother Industries’ new manufacturing plant in Batangas, also
praised the company for its growth.
After two years since it started operations in the country, the number
of Brother Industries Philippines manpower complement has grown markedly during
FY2015.
Koike said. “I have been calling
on all of our employees to contribute towards the company’s growth, hoping that
our sales and production in the Philippines will increase steadily and that
Brother can truly contribute to the Philippine society.”
