From Manila
Bulletin
Laguna Technopark, a development of AyalaLand Logistics
Holdings Corp. (ALLHC), celebrates its 30th anniversary
marked by the transformation of agricultural lands in
Laguna into a progressive industrial center.
A pioneer industrial estate in Calabarzon that started
in 1990, Laguna Technopark has allowed global and local
firms to thrive, marking itself as an ideal destination
for the world’s leading manufacturing investors.
In a statement, the company prided itself for being
instrumental in the economic progress of the region,
transforming parts of the cities of Santa Rosa and Biñan
from sugarcane fields to the 471-hectare growth center
it is today.
With over 270 locator-companies, the industrial estate
remains unmatched in export revenues and employment
generation among other economic zones in the country.
Laguna Technopark hosts over 100,000 employees directly
employed by locator-companies in the industrial park.
“We thank our partners for the constant support and
confidence they have placed in us since 1990. We strive
to continue enhancing our offerings to steadily increase
our portfolio and cater to the growing market of
enterprises that are interested to locate in the
country,” said Patrick C. Avila, ALLHC Head of
Industrial Parks and Real Estate Logistics.
Shinji Kawabata, President of Denso Ten Philippines
Corporation shared, “Laguna Technopark is a reliable
business-friendly community that allows us to access
skilled Filipino talent, high-quality onsite facilities,
and nearby key infrastructures more conveniently than
any other location. Being the very first company to
operate in Laguna Technopark, we commend the management
for continuously creating great synergies with their
partners and putting value into long-term and
mutually-beneficial alliances with their clients.”
Currently, ALLHC is the leading developer of dynamic
industrial communities. Inspired by the continuing
success of the Laguna Technopark, three more industrial
parks are envisioned to become future growth centers in
their respective regions.
ALLHC also owns and operates Cavite Technopark in Naic,
Laguindingan Technopark in Misamis Oriental, and
Pampanga Technopark in Mabalacat City. Similar to Laguna
Technopark, these industrial estates are highly
accessible to major facilities and infrastructures such
as national highways, seaports and airports to support
the requirements of locator-companies.
ALLHC is likewise working to grow beyond industrial land
sales by offering standard factory buildings for lease.
At present, ALLHC owns and manages a portfolio of 8
properties within 5 locations in Luzon. By year-end, the
group is expected to have over 200,000 sqm of gross
leasable area in its warehouse portfolio.
“As we have seen with Laguna Technopark, we believe our
industrial estates are co-catalysts of progress. Our aim
is to develop industrial estates in key areas in the
country that would promote regional development and
bring employment opportunities to more and more
Filipinos,” said Rowena M. Tomeldan, ALLHC President and
CEO.
Other developments of ALLHC include Tutuban Center in
Manila and South Park Center in Muntinlupa.
