COFIDES will support P4Q Electronics, specialist in designing and manufacturing electronic products and systems, to acquire new machinery for its manufacturing subsidiary in China.

To this end, COFIDES has granted a co-investment loan worth 1.6 million euros to the project company, Professionals for Quality Electronics (Kushan) Co. Ltd., under the FONPYME (75%) and using its own resources (25%). The total investment of this project is 3.2 million euros.

This subsidiary was set up in 2018 in Kunshan and is engaged in manufacturing components for the photovoltaic and automotive industries. It currently has a wide range of contracts and is meeting the growing demand from its photovoltaic energy customers.

COFIDES and P4Q have previously collaborated in setting up the company´s production facility in Albuquerque, USA.

COFIDES Chairman & CEO, José Luis Curbelo, highlighted the need to “continue supporting SMEs to continue to grow abroad despite the difficulties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic”.

P4Q´s CEO, Aitor Alapont, sought to highlight COFIDES´ support and collaboration in successfully meeting the group´s financing needs. “We already had experience in collaborating with COFIDES, following the support they gave us in the US plant, so we had no doubts about approaching them with this new project, which will surely bear fruit for both parties in the future” he said.
