Jamco Philippines Inc. has committed at least PHP 600 million in new investments to expand its aircraft interiors manufacturing operations at the Clark Aviation Capital, formalizing the agreement with the Clark International Airport Corporation on June 23, 2026.
An "Elevation of Capability" for Clark's Aerospace Industry
Jamco Philippines Inc. (JPI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan-based Jamco Corporation, formalized its expansion at the Clark Aviation Capital through a lease agreement signed on June 23, 2026, by CIAC President and CEO Joseph Alcazar and JPI President Giovanni Atzei . Under the agreement, JPI has committed to invest at least PHP 600 million within the first three years, with the expanded facility expected to be fully operational by 2028 . The company, which has maintained a presence in Clark for 15 years, will transition from partial assembly operations previously done in Japan to full and final assembly in Clark . Finished products will be shipped directly to Airbus facilities in Toulouse, France, and Boeing facilities in South Carolina and Seattle, Washington . CIAC President Alcazar described the development as "more than an expansion of capacity; it is an elevation of capability," noting that it "positions Clark as a strategic manufacturing hub within the global aerospace industry".
Job Creation and Economic Impact
Beyond the capital investment, the expansion is expected to generate substantial employment opportunities for Kapampangans . Jamco's workforce is projected to grow from approximately 450 employees to as many as 1,400 personnel upon completion of the expansion . Alcazar highlighted that Jamco's plan to double its production capacity "is expected to generate thousands of skilled and sustainable jobs, contribute to regional economic growth, and strengthen the local talent base needed to support the country's expanding aerospace manufacturing industry" . The expansion also supports the national government's efforts to transform the Clark Civil Aviation Complex into the "Clark Aviation Capital," an integrated ecosystem for aviation, logistics, commerce, and sustainable urban development . Alcazar added that the partnership "sends a strong message to the global investment community that Clark continues to offer the infrastructure, talent, business environment, and long-term vision required by high-value industries".
