Hey folks, big news just dropped in Panabo City! The **Largest Cold Storage Facility in Mindanao Opens in Panabo City**, and it's seriously leveling up the region's game. GMAC Logitech Refrigeration Corporation just launched this monster at Damosa Land Inc.’s Anflo Industrial Estate (AIE). This bad boy boosts the cold-chain setup big time. It supports agricultural exports and keeps the Philippines' food supply chain rock solid.
Moreover, GMAC teams up Glacier Megafridge Inc. and AC Logistics (yep, Ayala's logistics crew). Their joint venture screams confidence in Mindanao's boom. The spot sits super close to major ports and farm zones. Thus, it handles perishable stuff like bananas and processed meats way better now.
Why This Facility Rocks for Exporters and Farmers
First off, picture this: 11,728 pallet positions ready to chill everything from fruits to meats at perfect temps. Exporters, processors, and distributors across Mindanao gain huge wins. They store and ship goods without spoilage headaches.
Additionally, Philippine banana exports jumped 26% in 2025. Demand for solid cold-chain logistics skyrocketed. This new hub meets that need head-on. It strengthens the whole export flow from Mindanao farms straight to global markets.
Furthermore, Anflo Industrial Estate (63 hectares, started in 2016) keeps growing as Mindanao's top agro-industrial spot. It pulls in local and international investors. Therefore, the Davao Region drives serious economic growth in Southern Philippines.
In short, this opening marks a massive step forward. Panabo City solidifies its spot in Mindanao’s industrial and logistics network. Exciting times ahead for farmers, businesses, and the economy!
