About
JTEKT PKBC, Inc. (originally incorporated and historically operating as Philippine Koyo Bearing Corporation) is a prominent automotive, motorcycle, and industrial components enterprise in the Philippines. Established in 1975 as a joint venture between the local CP Group (headed by Carlos Palanca Jr.) and Koyo Seiko Co., Ltd. of Japan, the corporation serves as the exclusive primary pipeline for the world-renowned Koyo brand of bearings. Following the global Japanese merger of Koyo Seiko and Toyoda Machine Works that created the JTEKT Corporation, the local entity transitioned its name to JTEKT PKBC, Inc.. Operating through an indent system and an elite network of nationwide authorized sub-distributors, the company supplies everything from deep groove ball bearings and miniature components to heavy-duty industrial rollers. This long-standing distribution framework makes it an essential supply chain partner for the domestic manufacturing, agriculture, and transport engineering sectors.
