Lionapex Equipment (Phil.), Inc. - Makati City, Philippines

In 1995, a group of Filipino, Japanese and Singaporean businessmen founded LIONAPEX EQUIPMENT (PHIL.), INC. in order to engage in the distribution of CNC machine tools and allied products/services to the then fledging hard disk drive manufacturing industry of the Philippines. The initiative introduced micron-level machining technologies which are fundamental to producing high precision components for 3.5" and 2.5" HDD products, as well as the mass production of automotive and various electronics parts, mainly for export.
