The construction of Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation's (APC) third factory is underway at TARI complex, the newest and most advanced industrial-anchored mixed-use complex in Tarlac City. Recently, APC held a groundbreaking ceremony to begin the construction project, which will require a total capital investment of about Php 9.1 billion.
As APC increases up operations to suit the changing needs of Filipino customers, the soon-to-be-built building represents a critical expansion. After more than 60 years, it's a big step in bolstering the company's market presence in the Philippines. The facility is well-positioned to meet the company's overarching objective of providing affordable and high-quality food items, increase production capacity, and effectively strengthen the supply chain.
“The development of a third factory reflects our long-term commitment to innovation in the Philippine Food industry and the communities we serve. It’s also part of our continuing effort to fulfill our founding purpose to help Filipinos ‘Eat Well, Live Well’. We are strengthening our capability to consistently deliver high-quality flavored seasoning, cooking sauces, and breading mixes that enable Filipinos to experience the joy of cooking delicious, nutritious and affordable meals.” ~Daizaburo Koga, APC President
