AyalaLand expands cold storage capacity in Cebu

Published Aug 23, 2024 04:39 am

AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC), a unit of property giant Ayala Land Inc., is expanding its cold storage capacity with the start of construction of ALogis Artico Consolacion in Cebu. 

Strategically located to meet the increasing demand for temperature-controlled facilities in the Central Visayas region, the new facility will add 6,000 pallet positions to ALLHC’s cold storage portfolio.

This will be ALLHC’s second facility in the province of Cebu following the addition of ALogis Artico Mandaue in late 2022.

The firm is expanding its cold storage footprint, aiming to provide solutions for storing perishable goods around the country. 

Aiming to cater to diverse sectors, its intended clientele varies from the frozen meat, seafood, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, among others.

During the first half of 2024, ALLHC opened its fourth cold storage facility, ALogis Artico Santo Tomas in Batangas. Now, ALLHC is furthering its growth by enhancing its presence in Cebu with the Consolacion site slated for completion by the third quarter of 2025.

Situated in Brgy. Tayud, Consolacion, Cebu, the facility is easily accessible via the Cebu-North Coastal Road and is in close proximity to key transportation hubs, including the Mactan-Cebu International Airport and Cebu Port—both just 12 kilometers or a 30-minute drive away. 

ALogis Artico Consolacion will be equipped with 16 cold rooms with temperatures ranging from 5°C to -25°C; one processing room; and a capacity of 6,000 pallet positions. 

The facility will be registered with the Board of Investments (BOI), the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), and the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI). 

These registrations ensure that the facility will meet stringent industry standards for food safety and quality. 

NMIS Regional Director Dr. Alvin A. Leal looks forward to the completion of the facility stating, “I consider Cebu as an economic hub that distributes meat products outside of Cebu going to Mindanao and the adjacent provinces of Cebu." 

“This facility can really help us in our desire and our implementation to produce sound, safe meat for the meat-consuming public,” he added.

ALLHC Chief Operating Officer Patrick C. Avila said, “our focus is on meeting the rising demand for dependable modern cold storage solutions, which are vital for the preservation of the quality of perishable goods to reduce food waste and post-harvest losses." 

“By investing in this facility, we are not only broadening our capabilities, but also ensuring that we can provide our clients with various locations that can meet their needs,” he also said.
