The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has formally expressed its support and approval for Teradyne Philippines Ltd. to establish and expand its Research and Development (R&D) capabilities in Cebu, with a strategic focus on Robotics and Automated Test Equipment (ATE).
This milestone underscores PEZA’s commitment to enabling high‑value, technology‑driven investments that elevate the Philippines’ position in advanced manufacturing and engineering innovation.
Through active engagement and close coordination with Teradyne leadership—including site visits led by Tereso O. Panga, Director General of PEZA—PEZA demonstrated strong alignment with Teradyne’s vision of growing its Cebu site beyond traditional operations and into a center for engineering innovation, product development, and advanced technical expertise.
The establishment of Teradyne’s R&D function strengthens the local ecosystem by anchoring high‑skilled engineering work in the country while supporting global robotics and test‑technology programs.
The R&D initiative will focus on the development, support, and continuous improvement of technologies related to robotics systems and Automated Test Equipment, reinforcing Teradyne Cebu’s role in global engineering collaboration, new product development, and sustaining engineering activities. This expansion aligns closely with PEZA’s mandate to attract investments that generate quality employment, deepen technical capability, and create long‑term value for the Philippine workforce.
