First Atkins Holdings Corp. (FAHC), the parent company of one of the leading players in the wholesale and retail meat industry in the Philippines, acquired additional land at AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp.’s (ALLHC) Cavite Technopark.
“We are delighted to welcome First Atkins Group’s expansion within Cavite Technopark,” said Robert Lao, president and chief executive of ALLHC in a statement.
“Choosing Cavite Technopark for their facility and upcoming expansion underscores our shared commitment to creating vibrant business environments that support growth and innovation,” he said.
Cavite Technopark, launched in 2015, is ALLHC’s second industrial park in the bustling industrial corridor of the country, CALABARZON region.
Cavite Technopark provides excellent accessibility and connectivity to businesses with its strategic location in Naic, Cavite and proximity to international gateways, including the Cavite Gateway Terminal and Sangley Airport.
FAHC is a key player in the Philippine meat industry, supplying major traditional and modern trade channels, hotels, restaurants, meat shops, commissaries and meat traders across Luzon, and is further expanding its reach in the South of Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, and the rest of Region IV and Region V.
It distributes over 120,000 metric tons (MT) of quality, affordable meat like pork, chicken and beef. It utilizes a fleet of 150+ trucks and with a workforce of over 900 individuals.
FAHC president and chief executive Gabriel Ang said the company considered Cavite Technopark’s advantageous location, especially with the upcoming Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge, which is set to revolutionize regional transportation, cutting travel time from four to five hours to 45 minutes.
He also expressed enthusiasm about leveraging Cavite Technopark’s strategic benefits to further the company’s goal of delivering high-quality meat products to Filipino consumers.
He emphasized the importance of addressing market demand discrepancies and aligning with government food safety initiatives.
Cavite Technopark emerges as a dynamic hub driving economic progress and business excellence in South Luzon, as the region’s leading meat supplier strengthens its presence.
The facility incorporates renewable energy sources, boasting 1,078 solar panels contributing about 1 megawatt of solar power. This augments the facility’s energy requirements and significantly reduces carbon emissions, aligning with broader environmental objectives.
