Clark Freeport — A South Korean company has invested P103 million for the expansion of its manufacturing of wireless technology inside this Freeport.

According to statement by the Clark Development Corp. (CDC), DeviceDesign Philippines Corp. (DPC) has opened a new factory on 13 March 2025, as part of its expansion plan to manufacture wireless technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) in Clark Freeport.

The new factory is located at Manunggal Street here, with the company creating employment opportunities for more than 500 individuals over the next five years.

The CDC emphasized agency’s commitment to providing support to its registered locators, including ease of doing business, manpower requirements, and promotion and marketing.

“CDC aims to provide not only regulatory and promotional services but also services that will increase locators’ revenues. One such service is promoting business interdependence, allowing products to be purchased by other locators who are also registered as export enterprises,” a company official said.

A leap forward

Established in 2010, DeviceDesign specializes in the development, manufacturing and sales of IoT communication products. The company has been a registered Clark Freeport locator since 2019, subleasing under KX Hitech Phils. Corp.

“After two years of this [expansion] decision, we have established our factory today. In the era of globalization, we plan to make a second leap forward by utilizing Korea’s excellent technology and the Philippines’ excellent labor force,” DPC chairperson and president Cho Young-Guk said.

DeviceDesign develops and sells Bluetooth-related products like earbuds and headsets, as well as LBS location tracking systems. The company is expanding from IoT modules to monitoring systems and medical devices. 

Since January 2020, it has commercialized Bluetooth thermometers and earbud thermometers, with plans to include healthcare devices using heart rate and brain wave monitoring, according to its website.
