The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Board of Investments (BOI) welcomed the launch of new production lines by Automated Technology (Phil.) Inc. (ATEC) to support Panjit International Inc., a global semiconductor maker.

The expansion hopes to strengthen the Philippines’ role in the global semiconductor and automotive supply chain, particularly in the growing electric vehicle (EV) market. The new lines increase ATEC’s ability to provide advanced semiconductor solutions for Panjit’s multinational automotive clients.

ATEC, a Filipino outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) company, is a player in high-value manufacturing in the country. Panjit, based in Taiwan, makes, assembles, and distributes semiconductors to global markets.

DTI and BOI said the investment exhibits the Philippines’ skilled workforce, supportive infrastructure, and business-friendly policies. It also shows global confidence in the country’s ability to produce the advanced technologies needed in modern vehicles and electronics.

The government said it remains focused on growing the semiconductor and electronics sector through policies, workforce training, and incentives to attract more investment and encourage innovation.
