MURCIA, Negros Occidental—The municipality of Murcia in this province has just welcomed one of its biggest investments to date—the P350-million state-of-the-art Sapporo cold storage facility and ice plant of Czark Mak Corporation Group of Companies.
The investment includes those for the solar power, real estate and planned dry warehouses.
CZM’s businesses all over the country include real estate, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, agribusiness, food and hospitality, and technology, among others, even as it continues to explore new business opportunities and to expand its current customer reach.
The construction of the cold storage facility is expected to be completed this month, with start of commercial operation scheduled for the third week of July. It will have a capacity of 1,728 pallet positions, with five frozen rooms, two chiller rooms and two blast freezing rooms.
CZM chairman and president Caesar Wongchuking said they identified Negros as one of their preferred areas of investment for the company’s cold chain portfolio as the region is heavy in agriculture and identified by the administration as one of the key growth areas.
