1. PNOC Alternative Fuels Corporation Industrial ParkThe PNOC AFC Industrial Park (formerly PPDC) is situated in a 530-hectare land between the municipalities of Limay and Mariveles. It is 135 kms. away from Manila by land and more or less an hour away across Manila Bay. At present, the complex houses the following companies: Philippine Resins Industries, Inc., NPC Alliance Corporation, and Phoenix Polypropylene Plant (formerly Petrocorp) that process petroleum by-products for rubber and plastic industries. Soon to start its initial operation is the PNOC Alternative Fuels Corporation registered with the Board of Investments with a pioneer status will use jatropha plants as source of biofuels.
2. Petron Bataan Refinery ComplexPetron Corp., the country’s top oil refiner inaugurated on April 09, 2008 the Philippines’ first petrochemical feedstock facilities at PBR Complex in Limay, Bataan. The Petro Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (PetroFCC) unit and Propylene Recovery Unit (PRU) are part of the company’s refinery Master Plan to further diversify and boost its position in the local petrochemical industry.
The PetroFCC, the first “cracking” unit of its kind in the world will convert black products (fuel oil) into higher value LPG, gasoline, diesel and yields high level propylene. The PRU further purifies the propylene to be used in making petrochemical products such as food packaging, appliances, suitcases, furniture, DVDs and even car parts. Petron Corp. has signed an agreement with Mitsui Co. Ltd. for a six-month supply of polymer-grade propylene.
3. PEZA-Bataan Economic Zone (BEZ) The first and largest economic zone in the country was once the magnet of investments in the country. The established shipping port within the zone however would significantly serve the whole region as a strategic transshipment point.
There are 47 companies presently operating inside BEZ whose major exports include electronics, garments, textiles, fashion accessories, optical lenses, tennis balls, leather goods, sports bags and accessories, athletic shoes, and fiberglass products.
Plastic City Special Economic ZoneUnder the administration of Bataan Economic Zone, Plastic City SEZ is located in a 25-hectare land at Barangay Alion, Mariveles, Bataan. It is about 2 kms. from the Petrochemical Industrial Complex, source of raw materials for its two (2) locators inside, Diversified Plastic Film Systems, and Modern Packaging Film Systems. Preferred industries are from light to heavy.
Mariveles Grain TerminalPrimarily to serve as main hub for handling, storing, and unloading of
grains within the terminal, industries identified for the Food city are flour milling, oil seed crushing/refining, starch production (corn and cassava), and feed compounding as core businesses. Downstream industries include pasta/noodle production, snack foods/biscuits and other varied food processing.
The terminal has the capacity to cater both the local and foreign grain producers with a handling discharge rate of 10,000 metric tons per day.
Support industries outside the Food City include backward linkages such as cattle-raising, corn-growing, fish/prawn farming and service industries.
4. Bataan Technological Park, Inc. (BTPI)A 380-hectare site in Sabang, Morong, Bataan was once a UN High
Commission’s Refugee Processing Center. BTPI is ideal for world-class facilities for science-based and multi-use research and high technology development. A portion of the area is being geared towards research laboratory, modern agricultural training center and model farm.
Now under the management of Subic Bay Freeport Zone which is around 10 minutes away, BTPI stretches out to accommodate light and customized manufacturing industries.
5. Hermosa Special Economic Zone (HSEZ)HSEZ would become a natural catch-basin of opportunities from existing industries in the W-Growth Corridor especially when the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway Project (SCTEP) becomes operational. This development would complement to the growth of the agricultural sector alongside manufacturing business where HSEZ promises to be a better alternative site for light industries.
Hermosa Ecozone Industrial Park (HEIP)
A world-class 165 hectares industrial estate inside HSEZ is strategically located alongside the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway making it just a few minutes away from Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Clark SEZ, and the rest of Central Luzon.
HEIP’s proximity to these transshipment hubs would greatly benefit its investors of the deep water port facilities (SBFZ) and international airports (Subic and Clark).
Subic-Hermosa Cyber CitySeated on a 96-hectare land (first phase only), it is intended for locators engaged in electronics, information technology, multi-media and other light industries. Its development includes factory buildings, industrial lots, commercial/residential buildings, office buildings, and shopping/entertainment complex. It is just a few meters away from Roman Superhighway.
6. Balanga BPO Center Included in the list of “Next Wave Cities” of Information Technology in Central Luzon by the Department of Trade and Industry, the City of Balanga is gearing up to become the next ICT Hub in the region because of available infrastructure, presence of IT professionals and highly trainable manpower resources.
The City of Balanga is an hour away from the Mall of Asia, the latest ICT Hub in the country, via ferry services plying Manila-Port of Orion. Literally, “the city across the bay” since Manila Bay alone separates the two cities.
Located in the city commercial district, the Bataan Transport Mall is being developed as a BPO Center. The building is seated on a 4.6 has. land with a floor area of 11,340 square meters. The center is close to the proposed ICT Park of Balanga.
