EDAC Philippines Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic connectors, has registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) to establish export-focused operations in Tarlac.
The company will set up its facility within the 120-hectare Filinvest Innovation Park in New Clark City, part of the Clark Special Economic Zone.
The Canada-based firm is expected to begin operations in the first half of 2026 and create around 90 jobs, contributing to local employment and the country’s electronics manufacturing sector.
As a Peza-registered enterprise, EDAC Philippines is eligible for fiscal incentives, including a four- to seven-year income tax holiday, a 5-percent special corporate income tax option, or enhanced deductions for up to 10 years.
Since its founding in 1966, EDAC has expanded across Asia, serving markets in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey.
The company produces USB and HDMI connectors for computing, medical, aerospace, industrial, and communications applications, and also offers design and logistics services.
EDAC’s entry strengthens Peza’s manufacturing base, which accounted for over P150 billion of total approved investments in 2025, and adds to the agency’s export revenues, which reached $11.52 billion last year.
