MANUFACTURING firm Sako Pilipinas has inaugurated a new 1,000-square-meter facility at the Cavite Economic Zone (CEZ), the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) announced on Wednesday.
Present at the inauguration were PEZA Director General Tereso Panga, Sako Pilipinas CEO Erny Yu, and other company officials.
A subsidiary of Hong Kong SSG Limited and established in 2006, Sako Pilipinas produces woven polypropylene and paper sacks used for rice, fertilizers, feeds, sand, gravel, detergent, and other industrial products.
The company sources part of its raw materials from recycled sacks and packaging as a commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing.
Panga commended the company for fortifying the resilience of the country’s domestic supply chain while promoting a sustainable manufacturing base.
“Your company’s core business, the manufacture of woven polypropylene sacks and paper sacks, literally carries the weight of many industries. You are an essential partner in keeping our industries and our daily lives moving, and as we evolve and adopt sustainability, I hope that, as you continue to expand, you shall be partners with us in this effort and challenge of securing the resilience, viability and longevity not only of your business but also that of the ecozone industry and environment,” Panga said.
Yu reaffirmed the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
“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,” Yu said.
Sako Pilipinas' expansion is seen to boost its growing operations, which produce more than 22 million packaging units annually.
