Sako Pilipinas, Inc., a leading provider of quality and sustainable packaging solutions, has inaugurated a new 1,000-square-meter warehousing and production facility inside the Cavite Economic Zone to strengthen its local manufacturing capabilities.
“This new facility underscores our commitment to provide reliable and tailored packaging solutions that support the country’s manufacturing sector. Sako Pilipinas combines global expertise with a local, sustainable approach to ensure that our packaging solutions meet what the local market needs,” said Sako Pilipinas chief executive Erny Yu.
The expansion is expected to boost the company’s capacity to support growing demand for its packaging products, which already exceed 22 million units annually.
A subsidiary of Hong Kong-based SSG Limited, Sako Pilipinas offers diverse packaging solutions for a wide range of commodities and manufactured goods. Its multipurpose woven and polypropylene sacks are used for rice, fertilizers, feeds, sand, gravel, detergent and other industrial products.
Established in 2006, the company also partly sources raw materials from recycled sacks and packaging, reflecting its commitment to sustainable and responsible manufacturing practices.
The expansion comes as the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) reports a 34% rise in investment approvals in the first nine months of the year, covering 215 projects worth P154.7 billion.
The investments, which already account for 62 percent of PEZA’s annual target, are projected to generate more than 10,000 jobs.

“Sako Pilipinas’ new facility complements our efforts to expand the manufacturing value chain in the country. This helps provide our manufacturers with quality but cost-efficient packaging products that can help streamline their operations,” said PEZA Director General Tereso Panga.
