Food ingredients and plastics producer D&L Industries Inc. said Monday it has started commercial operations of its P10.5 billion new manufacturing plant in Batangas.
“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 chief executive officer Alvin Lao in a statement said.
Lao said the opening of Batangas plant comes at an opportune time as this will enable D&L to expand its international footprint and manufacture higher value added products as global demand returns.
The plant is located within the 26-hectare First Industrial Township-Special Economic Zone in Batangas.
