Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines Tarlac plant broke ground last September 2025 on its new 42-hectare, state-of-the-art manufacturing hub within TARI Estate.
The 384-hectare Tarlac Agro-Industrial Growth Corridor (TARI) Estate is steadily realizing its vision of progress with major milestones and global investments. In just over a year, TARI Estate has attracted multiple locators occupying more than 60 hectares, led by two global manufacturing giants—Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP) and Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC).
CCEAP is the official bottling partner and distributor of Coca-Cola products in the Philippines and is currently building a state-of-the-art 42-hectare manufacturing facility at TARI Estate. This project is considered to be among the largest Coca-Cola investments globally and a major milestone for Central Luzon’s industrial growth.
Underlining Tarlac as a manufacturing and logistics hub, the plant is expected to create hundreds of jobs and strengthen local supply chains across Central Luzon, emerging as the next industrial frontier.
“Coca-Cola’s decision to establish one of its largest manufacturing plants here underscores both the strategic importance of Tarlac and the strength of our vision for this region. As a foundational anchor, Coca-Cola sets the stage for complementary industries to grow, deepens supply chains, and creates thousands of jobs—stimulating economic activity well beyond the estate,” Monica Lorenzana Trajano, vice president and head of Commercial Strategy.
Global brand Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation is also building a ₱9.1-billion, 16-hectare factory, its largest in the Philippines to date, within TARI Estate. The facility will produce flagship products, with construction scheduled to begin in May 2026 and operations set to start by April 2028.
Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation secured a 16-hectare industrial parcel at TARI Estate last August.

Ajinomoto’s new factory will integrate automation, digital transformation, and sustainable production to improve productivity, logistics, and environmental efficiency. The facility also aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, reflecting the company’s commitment to “Eat Well, Live Well” through innovation and shared value creation.
“The transformation unfolding in Tarlac today is proof that we deliver on our commitments—real progress you can see on the ground,” Trajano added. “With TARI Estate, we are building more than an industrial park; we are shaping an integrated ecosystem designed for sustainable industry and inclusive growth.”
Launched in May 2024, the estate in Central Luzon has achieved 90 percent completion of Phase 1 site development, with build-ready lots now available for incoming locators.
Located at the intersection of TPLEX, CLLEX, and SCTEX, TARI Estate offers connectivity across Luzon—linking Metro Manila, Subic, and Clark with major northern provinces. Backed by the Aboitiz Group’s ecosystem of solutions—covering power, water, construction, telecommunications, and banking—the estate ensures businesses have reliable infrastructure and end-to-end support.
As the newest addition to the Aboitiz Economic Estates portfolio, TARI Estate complements the success of LIMA Estate in Batangas, and West Cebu Estate and MEZ2 Estate in Cebu. Together, they represent Aboitiz Economic Estates’ next-generation economic centers—smart, sustainable, and future-ready developments that empower industries, create jobs, and drive national progress.
