“Today, we celebrate an important milestone. After facing several challenges in the form of a pandemic, strict lockdowns during the construction, and global supply chain bottlenecks, our next generation facility in Batangas has finally started commercial operations,” said D&L President and CEO Alvin Lao.

D&L’s Batangas plant sits on a 26-hectare property in First Industrial Township - Special Economic Zone in Batangas. It has successfully moved into a soft-opening status with several production lines already up and running.

The firm expects the full commercial operations in the next couple of months after the final fine-tuning works on the remaining parts of the plant have been completed.

“This marks the beginning of an exciting journey as we venture into new global markets and manufacture higher value added products. Our Batangas plant puts us in a good position as global demand returns,” Lao added.

The new plant will enable D&L to move a step closer to its customers by providing customized solutions and simplifying their supply chain, which is of high importance given ongoing global logistical challenges.

It will also be instrumental in D&L’s goal of putting the Philippines on the map as a quality manufacturing hub for sustainable, natural and organic products.

 

D&L is launching a full range of shelf-ready products for its export customers, made from coconut oil, for the personal and baby care, cosmetics and beauty care, household cleaning, health and nutrition, and food and vegetable oils categories that are sustainable, natural, and organic.

The company is gearing up towards launching a full range of shelf-ready products for its export customers, made from coconut oil, for the personal and baby care, cosmetics and beauty care, household cleaning, health and nutrition, and food and vegetable oils categories that are sustainable, natural, and organic.

This initiative offers a plug-and-play solution for global brand owners who are looking to beef up their sustainable product offerings.

With the new capabilities that the Batangas plant will bring, D&L aims to offer turnkey solutions to customers that are both economically and environmentally friendly.

D&L envisions empowering brands globally to make a meaningful shift towards high impact sustainability initiatives in the manufacturing of their products by giving them the option to buy direct from source.

The direct from source approach simply means converting raw materials into finished goods in the country of raw material origin, instead of going through multi-leg production stages which usually happen across different locations in the globe.

This naturally translates into simpler logistics, less wastage, lower costs, higher efficiency, and as such, significantly cutting down the carbon footprint (C02) of the entire supply chain.

D&L’s Batangas plant expands the manufacturing capabilities of the company’s food, oleochemicals, and consumer products ODM segments.

It operates under wholly-owned subsidiaries Natura Aeropack Corporation (NAC) and D&L Premium Foods Corp (DLPF). This plant allows the vertical integration of sourcing, formulation, packaging, OEM/ODM, and export capabilities, enabling D&L to offer a one stop shop, direct from source manufacturing solutions to global brands.

Being in a Philippine Export Zone Authority (PEZA) location, D&L’s Batangas plant is required to maintain at least 50 percent export revenue contribution to be able to take advantage of PEZA tax incentives. As such, the said facility is focused on developing new markets.

Coconut oil continues to gain traction globally as a sustainable, natural, and organic substitute for many petroleum or palm-oil based applications.

PEZA Chief welcomes the Inauguration of the Manufacturing Plant Expansion Project of Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc. at Lima Technology Center, Special Economic Zone, Batangas 

23 February 2021 (Tuesday)

Davao City – The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) Director General Charito “Ching” Plaza attended the Inauguration of the Manufacturing Plant Expansion Project of Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc., (YMPH) yesterday, February 22, 2021, at the Lima Technology Center, Malvar, Batangas. The PEZA Chief attended the said Inauguration on Monday.

The Inauguration formally marks the start of operation of the PEZA approved plant expansion with Supplemental Agreement last January 15, 2020. This is also Yamaha’s testament to their commitment to further business operations in the Philippines.

Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc. has been with PEZA since its registration on September 5, 2007. This is part of PEZA’s aim to attract Japanese companies to locate and invest here in the Philippines.

Director General Plaza expressed her appreciation and gratitude to locator companies’ continued operations such as the YMPH for keeping the Philippines afloat and protected amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, thus preserving the welfare of our countrymen, our country’s economy, and the jobs of Filipinos.

“PEZA welcomes YAMAHA’s Expansion Project especially during this time that we are reeling from the uncertainties at hand,” Plaza said. The PEZA Chief also emphasized that PEZA has always been supportive of these relative projects as it aims to encourage locators not to leave nor transfer but to expand and continue operations in economic zones amidst the pandemic.

This is also a significant event for the YMPH President Hiroshi Koike as this is his first time setting up a new factory in the Philippines in his 34 years working in Yamaha Motor. According to Koike, with the pandemic shifting the mode of public transportation from commuting to personal use of mobility, there is an increase in the demand for automatic models. “Generating a huge number of products will result to creation of more jobs roughly about 1500 employees for old factory and additional recruitment of 1300 workforce for this newly-built factory. This is in line with our corporate social responsibility in contributing to the enhancement of the Philippine economy,” Koike said.

YMPH aims to continuously cooperate with PEZA in expanding their business in order to also fulfill the mission of Yamaha Motor Philippines which is having the highest

growth in the motorcycle industry among ASEAN countries and to take pride in impressing the Filipino people by creating products that are beyond expectations.

As PEZA continues to do its best in promoting the creation of economic zones especially in the countryside, Plaza encourages locator companies to retain this in the entire nation and attain much inclusive growth for the Philippines. “We look forward to strengthening our partnership with you to achieve our goal of transforming the Philippines to become an investment haven in Asia.” PEZA Chief said

PRESIDENT Duterte’s approval of 12 new economic zones in the first half of the year is seen to have secured for the economy more than P6 billion worth of investments at a time the government is struggling to attract capital to the Philippines.

According to the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza), the President’s proclamation of 12 new industrial parks across the country will bring in P6.4 billion of investments. Duterte signed the papers between January and June licensing their operations as economic zones.

Mostly located in Luzon, the first half approvals are made up of nine information technology (IT) centers, two manufacturing zones and one IT park, disclosed Peza Director General Charito B. Plaza on Wednesday.

“Peza is grateful to the President for his wise approval for the proclamation of new ecozones in the country amid the Covid-19 pandemic,” Plaza said. “Once export companies invest in these newly proclaimed ecozones, these will surely multiply investment and economic activities and opportunities in the Philippines.”

“Majority of the new ecozones—composing 67 percent of the total—will be located in Luzon, whereas the other 33.33 percent will be positioned in the Visayas and Mindanao,” she added.

The President issued the proclamations of Abiathar Commercial Complex, TDG Innovation and Global Business Solutions Center, Ayala Bacolod Capitol Corporate Center and Silver City 4, all of which are IT centers, in January. During the same month, he signed the papers of Millennium Industrial Economic Zone, a manufacturing park.

In May and June the Chief Executive authorized IT centers GLAS Office Development, Bench City Center, Ortigas Technopoint Tower 1 & 2, NEX Tower and Robinsons Luisita 2 to operate as economic zones.

During the same period, manufacturing park Davao del Sur Industrial Economic Zone received the green light from Malacañang. IT park Batangas State University Knowledge, Innovation and Science Technology Park also got its presidential nod.
