AG&P Industrial Breaks Ground on 85-Hectare Module Fabrication Yard in the Philippines
AG&P Industrial (Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific Company of Manila, Inc.) has officially broken ground on a new 85-hectare module fabrication yard in San Pascual, Batangas, marking a major expansion of its global engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
The state-of-the-art facility, inaugurated on July 24, 2026, is designed to support the growing demand for plug-and-play modular solutions across the energy, power, refining, chemicals, digital infrastructure, and industrial sectors. The project is expected to strengthen global supply chains while reducing carbon emissions, optimizing costs, and accelerating project delivery.
Facility to Deliver 80,000 Metric Tons of Fabrication Annually
The new fabrication yard will have an annual production capacity of 80,000 metric tons, enabling AG&P Industrial to execute large-scale modular infrastructure projects worldwide.
The company said the facility has been purpose-built to manufacture standard-to-high-precision modules for industries including liquefied natural gas (LNG), petroleum, renewable fuels, power generation, refining, chemicals, and digital infrastructure.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by AG&P Industrial's senior leadership and local government officials.
Supporting the Company's Next Growth Phase
For more than 40 years, AG&P Industrial's Bauan Heavy Fabrication Yard in Batangas has served as the company's primary manufacturing hub, delivering complex industrial and modular infrastructure projects globally.
With the Bauan site now playing a key role in the Philippines' national infrastructure development, the company said relocating operations to the larger San Pascual facility aligns with its long-term growth strategy and increasing global project requirements.
Advanced Technology to Improve Efficiency
The new manufacturing complex will incorporate Modstruction™, AG&P Industrial's proprietary construction methodology that shifts traditional on-site construction into a controlled fabrication environment.
According to the company, the approach helps:
- Reduce project costs
- Shorten construction timelines
- Improve quality control
- Enhance worker safety
- Minimize supply chain bottlenecks
The facility will also feature a dedicated wharf, advanced assembly areas, specialized heavy load-out infrastructure, and potential dry dock capabilities, allowing it to efficiently manage large and complex industrial modules for international markets.
Company Targets Large Global Infrastructure Projects
Alex Gamboa, President and CEO of AG&P Industrial, described the groundbreaking as a major milestone in the company's 126-year history.
He said the San Pascual yard represents a strategic investment that will enable AG&P Industrial to execute global projects valued at more than half a billion dollars annually. He added that the company's proprietary Modstruction™ system strengthens its ability to address project delivery challenges while maintaining high standards of operational excellence, quality, and safety.
Strengthening Global Delivery Capabilities
Anupam Ahuja, Managing Director of AG&P Industrial, said the investment marks a transformative step in expanding the company's international manufacturing capabilities.
He noted that by combining advanced technology, a skilled workforce, and heavy load-out infrastructure, the new facility will enhance AG&P Industrial's ability to support high-value industrial sectors, improve supply chain resilience, and strengthen its position as a preferred partner for complex infrastructure projects worldwide.
The San Pascual fabrication yard is expected to play a key role in meeting rising global demand for modular industrial construction while supporting sustainable industrial development and long-term economic growth.
