Philippines-based fast-moving consumer goods company Fly Ace Corporation has signed an agreement to develop a seven-hectare production facility within LIMA Estate in Lipa-Malvar, Batangas, marking the company's strategic shift from product importation and distribution to integrated local manufacturing, according to a Punto Central Luzon report.

The facility will enable Fly Ace to produce its consumer goods portfolio closer to local markets, strengthen food supply chain resilience and create pathways for export-oriented activity and joint ventures with existing and future business partners. The plant is expected to be operational by 2030.

LIMA Estate was selected for its ready-to-operate infrastructure, Philippine Economic Zone Authority regulatory enablement and proximity to major transport corridors including the South Luzon Expressway, STAR Tollway and CALAX. The estate's location provides access to key ports of entry including the Manila International Airport, Manila International Container Terminal, the Port of Batangas and the emerging South Luzon Container Terminal.

Fly Ace president Lucio Cochanco Jr. said: "When we visited LIMA, I could see why it's the right place for this investment. As a well-planned industrial development, we look forward to partnering with Aboitiz for this landmark expansion project."

Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and chief executive of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land, said: "Over the last five years, our Economic Estates have attracted strong interest from both foreign and domestic investors across our portfolio, and we remain committed to providing a reliable environment through our ecosystem of solutions that help businesses grow and scale."

LIMA Estate currently hosts nearly 200 industrial locators and has generated 75,000 jobs across diverse sectors. Get the complete picture of Fly Ace's manufacturing expansion at LIMA Estate in the full article.
