Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI) continues to strengthen its contribution to regional economic development with the entry of Japan-based Platinum 7i Holdings Inc., an affiliate of Nagatsu Precision Mold Co., Ltd., into Filinvest Innovation Park – Calamba (FIP-Calamba).Platinum 7i Holdings has acquired a 7,597-square-meter industrial lot within the 350-hectare Ciudad de Calamba township, marking another step in expanding foreign manufacturing presence in Southern Luzon.
The investment builds on Nagatsu’s long-standing operations in Laguna through Nagatsu Seisakusho Philippines, Inc., further strengthening South Luzon’s position as a growing hub for advanced manufacturing and regional industry.
More than a locator expansion, the investment reflects the increasing role of integrated industrial ecosystems in enabling employment and sustained local economic activity. Once operational, the facility is expected to create employment opportunities across production, technical services, logistics, and support functions, while strengthening linkages with local suppliers and service providers.
Beyond employment, the presence of Platinum 7i Holdings is expected to contribute as estimated Php 50 million annually in local economic activity in Calamba and neighboring communities driven by workforce income, supplier linkages, and service demand within Calamba and neighboring communities.
Strategically located within a key growth corridor, Filinvest Innovation Park – Calamba provides access to transport networks, skilled labor pools, and established industrial supply chains. Its integration within Ciudad de Calamba enables proximity to residential communities and essential services — creating a sustainable environment where both enterprises and workers can thrive.
“This investment demonstrates how industrial ecosystems can translate into meaningful economic outcomes at the regional level,” said Tristan Las Marias, President and CEO of Filinvest Land Inc. “Beyond providing space for businesses, we aim to create environments where industries generate jobs, stimulate local economies, and contribute to long-term national growth.”
Francis Ceballos, Senior Vice President and Business Unit Head for Industrial and Logistics, emphasized the broader impact of such investments. “Each new locator activates a chain of economic activity beyond its immediate operations. From supplier networks to workforce-driven demand, these developments help stimulate sustained growth within the region.”
The signing ceremony was attended by Platinum 7i Holdings Director Ken Yamanoi and Chairman Kiyoshi Yamanoi. Representing Filinvest Land were Andrew Gotianun III, Tristan Las Marias, Francis Ceballos, and Mark Lester Limbo, together with representatives from Cushman and Wakefield, the client’s brokerage partner.
FIP-Calamba forms part of Filinvest Land’s expanding Filinvest Innovation Parks portfolio, which includes Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City. Together, these developments are designed to attract investment, enable enterprise growth, and support the expansion of regional economies through job creation and sustained industrial activity.
