EDAC to set up electronics hub in New Clark City
A global manufacturer of electronic connectors has registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza), setting up export-oriented operations in Tarlac and adding to the country’s electronics manufacturing base.
Peza has announced its approval of the registration of EDAC Philippines Inc., a company specializing in the manufacturing and assembly of electronic connectors, as an export-oriented enterprise.
It will be located at the 120-hectare Filinvest Innovation Park in New Clark City, part of the Clark Special Economic Zone.
The Canada-based firm is scheduled to start operations in the first half of 2026 and is expected to generate at least 90 jobs, Peza says.
The government agency says the project is a “meaningful contribution to local employment and the country’s export-driven growth,” particularly in the electronics and semiconductor manufacturing services sector.
Incentives
The registration was signed on Jan. 5 by Peza Deputy Director General for Policy and Planning Anidelle Joy Alguso and EDAC treasurer Connie Robinson.
As a registered Peza locator, EDAC is now eligible for fiscal incentives, including an income tax holiday of four to seven years and an option of a 5-percent special corporate income tax, or enhanced deductions for up to 10 years.
Since its establishment in 1966, EDAC has expanded across multiple markets in Asia, including China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey.
Its products include USB and HDMI connectors used in computing, medical, aerospace, industrial and communications applications.
EDAC also provides logistics solutions in addition to its design and manufacturing offerings.
EDAC’s entry boosts Peza’s manufacturing sector, which accounted for P150.52 billion, or 57.69 percent, of total approved investments in 2025. It also contributes to the agency’s export revenues, which reached $11.52 billion last year.
