AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) said over the weekend it opened its fifth cold storage facility at Pampanga Technopark.
ALLHC said in a statement Artico Mabalacat was designed with a capacity of 4,000 pallet positions across 19 cold rooms, with temperatures ranging from 5°C to -25°C.
The facility will increase ALLHC’s portfolio to about 20,000 pallet positions—addressing the growing demand for temperature-controlled facilities in Central Luzon.
It will primarily serve industries including frozen meat, seafood, pharmaceutical and industrial.
The facility will be registered with the Board of Investments (BOI) and key regulatory agencies including the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI).
“By building this cold storage facility within our very own industrial park development, Pampanga Technopark, we reaffirm our commitment to providing exceptional service and setting new standards in the industrial and real estate logistics industry,” said ALLHC chief operating officer Patrick Avila.
Artico Mabalacat is strategically located with easy access via NLEX, SCTEX and MacArthur Highway and is close to key infrastructure such as Clark International Airport and the Subic Bay International Terminal.
“The facility is a significant addition as it caters to not only to corporate clients but, more importantly, to micro, small and medium enterprises which make up 98 percent of businesses in the country… This new facility will make a substantial contribution to the socioeconomic agenda of the government particularly concerning food security,” said Ernesto Delos Reyes Jr., One Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments director at the Board of Investments.
ALLHC also completed the first phase of ALogis Mabalacat, a 7,700-square-meter warehouse, with construction already underway for the second phase, adding another 18,000 sq. m. of gross leasable area.
These ready-built facilities provide light to medium enterprises with the infrastructure needed to immediately launch operations, fostering business growth and economic activity in the region.
ALLHC said the strategic integration of Artico Mabalacat cold storage facility and ALogis Mabalacat ready-built facilities bolsters the supply chain in Luzon by empowering businesses across various sectors and fostering a more efficient, sustainable distribution network within the region.
This also positions Pampanga Technopark as a pivotal player in addressing the nation’s increasing demand for streamlined and reliable logistics solutions.
