“We are seeing an ever-growing demand for our products. This new flour mill will allow us to meet that demand, maintain the quality of our products and keep our price point competitive,” said Irwin C. Lee, URC President & CEO
The new facility will use a fully automated flour-milling technology that fully integrates the roller mill’s control and monitoring system in the main station, a first in the Philippines.
This technology upgrade maximizes efficiency at the plant, reduces costs and overall cuts URC’s carbon footprint. It is in line with URC’s push to bring down the amount of energy and other resources it uses to manufacture its products. The mill sits on 10 hectares in Sariaya. When fully operational, it will provide at least 150 jobs.
“URC Flour Sariaya is a testament to our unwavering dedication to innovation, quality and growth,” said Lee. “With its enhanced technology, substantial capacity and focus on community development, the plant is poised to become a cornerstone of URC’s progress and a catalyst for positive change in the area,” Lee added.
URC Flour is one of the Philippines’ top flour millers. It started commercial operations in 1970 with its first plant in Pasig. It opened its second plant in Davao in 1991.
