Thai fiber cement manufacturer SHERA said its P2-billion plant in Mabalacat, Pampanga is now 60-percent complete and is on track to commence operations by January 2025.
The facility, with an annual production capacity of up to 240,000 tons of fiber cement, is set to boost local production and exports, catering to both domestic and international markets.
It aims to provide easier access to SHERA’s eco-friendly and durable fiber cement products for Filipino consumers.
SHERA chairman and director Ongek Taechamahaphant expressed confidence in the project’s progress, emphasizing its importance in SHERA’s expansion plans in the Philippine market.
Once operational, the facility will offer a diverse range of fiber cement products for various applications, including wall cladding, sidings, floor decking and ceiling eaves well-suited for the Philippine climate.
SHERA said its dedication to sustainability is reflected in its eco-conscious production processes, utilizing solar energy and recycled materials.
The Mabalacat plant will also export to Taiwan, South Korea and parts of North Asia and Oceania. The expansion is projected to generate about 150 new jobs for Filipinos.
