August 9, 2023 – In time for D&L Industries’ 60th anniversary, its next generation facility in Batangas started commercial operations last July with the issuance of its first invoice. With upgraded capabilities and a footprint that will more than double the company’s existing manufacturing capacity, the new plant ushers in a transformational period for D&L.

“The plant that we have built is not just another plant. Specced to the highest standards and equipped with new capabilities, our Batangas plant will elevate the company to operate on a whole new level. Its
construction and completion during an unprecedented period due to COVID, to us, is a major milestone that attests to the commitment of all the people in our organization and to the resilience that we have built over the years as a company,” D&L President and CEO Alvin Lao remarked.

“Similar to what we have seen with the various plants that we have built over the past 60 years, the commercial operations of a new plant will mean incremental expenses that may affect near-term income.

This is part and parcel of putting up a new plant, as what we have done multiple times. We have a lot of confidence that even though it may take time, this plant will be a huge benefit for the company. It will allow D&L to explore opportunities that were previously beyond our existing capabilities. With the new plant, we see new markets, higher value added products, and deeper innovations that will further push our boundaries.

There has never been a more exciting time for D&L. We are profoundly inspired by its potential and we are steadfast in our commitment to see it to fruition,” Lao concluded.
