Laguna Technopark—the industrial park where JFE Shoji Steel Philippines, Inc. (JSSP) is located—is home to around 250 companies, including Japanese firms. The industrial park is celebrating its thirty-second anniversary this year.
　Tenant companies operate Laguna Technopark Association Inc. and hold annual board elections. At the general meeting on June 30, JSSP President and CEO Kazumi Saito was re-elected to his second term as Chairman and President. He was sworn in as Chairman at an August 4 ceremony presided over by Philippine Economic Zone Authority Deputy Director General Vivian Santos. Japanese Embassy officials and the presidents of many companies in Laguna Technopark attended the event.
　Saito is looking forward to developing Laguna Technopark maintenance and support systems to make the already safe and secure complex an even better industrial park. He will also promote initiatives to increase the brand value of JFE Shoji and motivate JSSP employees.
