Aboitiz Construction Inc. said Wednesday it signed a deal with the logistics arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. to build a modern logistics hub in Cavite province.
ACI said it signed a memorandum of agreement with MetroPac Movers Inc. to master plan, design and construct the South Mega Distribution Center, a modern logistics hub that will rise along a stretch of land in General Trias, Cavite.
ACI will initially prepare the master plan and basic design for the development of the massive logistics facility sprawling more than 202,000 square meters.
ACI president and chief operating officer Albert Ignacio Jr. said the company was looking forward to building the logistics hub as a demonstration of the company’s capability to fully develop large-scale infrastructure projects.
“This bolsters ACI’s growing expertise in engineering and design complementing the company’s transformation from metal works and fabrication capability into full-scale engineering, design, and construction expertise,” he said.
South Mega DC is the first of a series of logistics infrastructure that ACI will build for MMI.
Once completed, the logistics infrastructure will advance business and communities as it facilitates the movement of products and goods nationwide, stimulate local economic activity and provide thousands of jobs in South Luzon
MMI also engaged the services of DCCD Engineering Corp. as the project manager for the project.
NMI provides logistics, shipping, freight forwarding and e-commerce services.
