On a meeting with The Department of Trade and Industry of Philippines Taiheiyo Cement discussed an ongoing construction of a PHP 3.72 billion Luzon Distribution Terminal in Calaca City, Batangas.
Scheduled to begin operations in early 2026, the facility is designed to supply up to 700,000 tons of cement annually to Luzon.
Noting the strategic significance of this development, DTI’s commercial counselor in Tokyo, Dita Angara-Mathay, remarked, “Luzon is the country’s largest market for construction materials, accounting for approximately 60–70% of the Philippines’ total cement demand, and ensuring stable cement supply here directly supports the Philippines’ infrastructure and economic growth priorities.”
As part of its strategy to support sustainable infrastructure, Taiheiyo will utilize this terminal to distribute blended cement. The company emphasized that the shift to blended cement is not only a response to the rising market demand, but also as part of its broader carbon reduction roadmap.
