Omega Global Technologies, Inc. (Omega GTI), a Silicon Valley-based 4PL supply chain solutions firm specializing in the semiconductor and electronics sector, recently opened a regional office in the Philippines.
The expansion was facilitated by the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Silicon Valley (PTIC-SC) and “underscores the government’s push to highlight the country’s economic viability in the global electronics industries,” DTI- Foreign Trade Service Corps (FTSC) said in a statement.
The expansion allows the company to provide the full extent of its services, including global sourcing, vendor managed inventory, kitting, laboratory testing, and more, within Asia, Omega GTI said in a separate statement.
“Omega GTI’s expansion in the Philippines marks a significant boost to the country’s logistics and supply chain capabilities, reinforcing its role as a strategic hub for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing in the global value chain,” trade commissioner of PTIC-SC Kristine Umali said.
“This move also paves the way for deeper collaboration between Silicon Valley and the Philippines, driving innovation and investment opportunities,” Umali added.
Omega GTI president Zedric Ochoa, for his part, said choosing the Philippines for the expansion “was a strategic decision,” noting that the country “is home to incredible talent, a strong work ethic, and a spirit of perseverance that aligns perfectly with our company’s vision.”
Omega GTI Asia, Inc.’s executive vice president Jayson Alfonso echoed Ochoa’s statement, saying the company’s goal is to attract further investment from Silicon Valley to the Philippines.
“This expansion is just the beginning, and we are committed to strengthening partnerships that will drive innovation, create jobs, and enhance the country’s position in the global electronics and technology industries,” Alfonso said.
DTI-FTSC noted that the electronics industry is a key driver of Philippine exports, “benefitting from the government’s investor-friendly policies, infrastructure development, and skilled workforce.”
It said these advantages are further reinforced by the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act No. 12066, or the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises to Maximize Opportunities for Reinvigorating the Economy Act, signed in February. The legislation refines implementation guidelines, addresses investor concerns, and clarifies value-added tax zero-rating certificate eligibility and coverage.
DTI said it is dedicated to driving opportunities by building robust linkages with potential foreign investors alongside leveraging its strategic initiatives to solidify the Philippines’ foothold in the global supply chain.
