The company also incorporates recycled sacks and packaging materials in its production, underscoring its commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing.
In his remarks, Panga lauded the company’s contribution to local manufacturing and its emphasis on sustainability.
“Your company’s core business – the manufacture of woven polypropylene sacks and paper sacks – literally carry the weight of many industries. You are an essential partner in keeping our industries and our daily lives moving,” Panga was quoted in a press release.
“(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 of the ecozone industry and environment,” he added.
For his part, Yu said the new facility reflects 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,” Yu said. “SAKO Pilipinas combines global expertise with a local, sustainable approach to ensure that our packaging solutions meet what the local market needs.”
