Global interconnectivity solutions provider EDAC Group has chosen Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City as the site of its newest manufacturing facility, marking its formal entry into the Philippines and expanding its footprint in Southeast Asia.

EDAC signed a five-year lease for a 5,000-square-meter ready-built factory at Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City, which will serve as the company’s regional manufacturing hub. Commercial operations are targeted to begin by the second quarter of 2026, with the facility expected to employ up to 90 workers at full capacity.

The lease agreement was signed by Francis Ceballos, senior vice president and business unit head for industrial and logistics of Filinvest Land Inc., and Connie Robinson, financial director of EDAC Philippines Inc. The signing was witnessed by Carmelo Centeno III, general manager of Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City; Sherwin Robinson, director of operations of EDAC Philippines; and Kenneth Peralta, vice president and head of investment promotions and marketing of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority.

“Our expansion into the Philippines through Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City is a strategic step for EDAC,” said Sherwin Robinson, director of operations of EDAC Philippines. “The park’s modern infrastructure, strong government support, and proximity to key logistics and export gateways make it an ideal base for our manufacturing operations. We look forward to growing alongside the community and contributing to the region’s industrial development.”

Filinvest Land said EDAC’s entry reflects the growing appeal of Central Luzon as an industrial destination for global firms.

“We are pleased to welcome EDAC to our expanding roster of locators at Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City,” said Francis Ceballos, SVP of Filinvest Land. “Their investment reflects the strong confidence global companies have in the Philippines and in Central Luzon as a strategic industrial hub. FIP-NCC continues to attract forward-looking enterprises that see long-term value in its location, infrastructure, and growth potential.”

EDAC Philippines secured registration with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority on 5 January 2026, making the company eligible for fiscal incentives, including income tax holidays and enhanced deductions.

“On behalf of BCDA President and CEO Joshua Bingcang, we welcome EDAC to New Clark City—a city built for resilience, sustainability, and long-term growth,” Peralta said. “EDAC’s decision to locate here reflects the strong fundamentals of New Clark City and its growing appeal to global investors.”

The signing ceremony was held at Quest Plus Hotel Clark, located within Mimosa Plus Leisure Estate, a leisure township developed by Filinvest Development Corporation in partnership with the Clark Development Corporation.

With EDAC’s entry, Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City continues to position itself as a key industrial and logistics hub in Central Luzon, supporting manufacturing growth and investment in the Philippines.
