another safety match manufacturer. In 1978, the company name was
changed to Eurasia Match Incorporated. JEC only works with
accredited suppliers for the chemical components and packaging
materials used, assuring that JEC's safety matches follow the highest of
standards in the industry.

In 1994, Eurasia Match Inc. was renamed as the JAKA Equities

manufacturing operations within the JAKA Group of Companies:
match manufacturing, marketing and distribution, and food
processing. It was likewise planned that JEC would also hold the equity
investments of the JAKA Group, such as the shares in the Philippine
Global Communications, Far Eastern Bank and Trust Company,
Republic Glass Corporation and the United Coconut and Planters
Bank.
