SAKO PILIPINAS, a subsidiary of Hong Kong (HK) SSG Limited, has inaugurated its 1,000-square-meter expansion at the Cavite Economic Zone, where it will make woven sacks to supply the rice and fertilizer industries, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) said.
“The expansion is expected to boost SAKO Pilipinas’ growing operations, which currently produces more than 22 million packaging units annually,” PEZA said in a social media post on Wednesday.
SAKO Pilipinas makes polypropylene and paper sacks and also supplies the feed, sand, gravel, and detergent industries. A portion of its raw materials consists of recycled packaging.
Erny Yu, chief executive officer of SAKO Pilipinas, said that the new facility will support manufacturers with reliable and tailored packaging solutions.
“SAKO Pilipinas combines global expertise with a local, sustainable approach to ensure that our packaging solutions meet what the local market needs,” he added.
PEZA Director General Tereso O. Panga said that the company’s products “are an essential partner in keeping our industries and daily lives moving.” — Justine Irish D. Tabile
