|March 23, 2025
Food company Ajinomoto Philippines Corp. (APC) is considering setting up a third manufacturing plant in the country with its output nearing full capacity.
"We need to consider because we have two factories here in the Philippines, (in) Bulacan and Cebu, but also the capacity is almost reaching our full capacity," APC president Koichi Ozaki told reporters.
He said the decision is expected to be made within three to five years.
Possible locations and the amount of investment needed to build the third plant are still under study.
