Yamato Gravure Accelerates Overseas Expansion Through a Fabless Model Indonesian Subsidiary Makes Its Debut at an International Trade Show in the Philippines

PT. DAIWA GRAVURE INDONESIA (Headquarters: Jakarta, Indonesia; operated by Daiwa Gravure Co., Ltd.,hereinafter “DGI”) will be exhibiting at “PackPrintPlas Philippines 2026,” to be held at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Manila, Philippines, from Thursday, October 8, 2026, through Saturday, October 10, 2026.

At this exhibition, the company will showcase products that leverage the gravure printing and flexible packaging technologies Daiwa Gravure has cultivated in Japan, combined with Indonesia’s manufacturing capabilities. Through dialogue with professionals in the Philippine packaging and printing industries, the company aims to identify local market needs and challenges, create new business and collaboration opportunities, and expand its operations in the Southeast Asian market.

◎Background of Our Participation

Since its establishment in 1957, Daiwa Gravure has been engaged in the development and manufacture of flexible packaging materials used for food, cosmetics, and other products. Leveraging the high color reproduction and fine detail capabilities of gravure printing as its strengths, the company has established an integrated production system covering everything from printing to bag manufacturing.

As part of its expansion into overseas markets, the company established “PT. DAIWA GRAVURE INDONESIA” in Jakarta, Indonesia, in May 2025—its first overseas base—and began full-scale operations in June of the same year.

DGI employs a “fabless business model,” in which it does not operate its own factories but collaborates with local manufacturing partners. By combining the printing and processing technologies Daiwa Gravure has cultivated in Japan with Indonesia’s manufacturing capabilities, the company is building a system to flexibly supply products to overseas markets.

At this exhibition, we will showcase products created through this “Japanese Technology × Indonesian Manufacturing” approach.

◎Approach to the Philippine Market

As DGI expands its business, one of the markets it is targeting this time is the Philippines.

With a population of approximately 120 million, the Philippines continues to see its consumer market expand alongside economic growth.

At this exhibition, we will engage directly with the Philippine packaging and printing industries and gain an understanding of market needs and challenges through business negotiations and exchanges of views with local companies.

We will also showcase products that leverage Japanese gravure printing technology and Indonesian manufacturing capabilities, exploring opportunities for new business deals and collaborations with Philippine companies.

◎Exhibition Highlights

At our booth, we will showcase the gravure printing and flexible packaging technologies that Yamato Gravure has cultivated over many years through actual products and samples.

◎ Future Plans

We do not view this exhibition as a one-time event; rather, through dialogue with local companies, we aim to identify the needs and challenges of the Philippine market and use this insight to drive future business expansion.

Specifically, we aim to:

・Business negotiations with local companies and the creation of new business opportunities

・Gaining an understanding of the needs of the Philippine packaging and printing market

・Building new networks in Southeast Asia

・Incorporating local needs into the development of new products and services

Furthermore, using this entry into the Philippine market as a stepping stone, we will explore opportunities to expand sales of flexible packaging products to other ASEAN regions—including the Philippines—and even the Islamic world, with Indonesia serving as our manufacturing and supply hub.

Combining the printing and packaging technologies cultivated in Japan with Indonesia’s manufacturing capabilities, we will leverage these respective strengths to provide products and services that meet local market needs, thereby advancing the establishment of an overseas business foundation centered in Southeast Asia.
