CLARK FREEPORT, Pampanga, Philippines  – A leading Japanese semiconductor firm is spending P731 million to expand its manufacturing plant here.

Nanox Philippines Inc.’s expansion is expected to generate additional 1,000 jobs in the next five years.

The company is capable of producing four million LCD devices monthly.

It is the second top exporter among Clark investors.

Nanox’s export comprised 25 percent of the total annual export from this freeport.
