FAST Logistics Group, the Philippines’ leading end-to-end logistics provider, showcased its warehousing and ColdChain capabilities to officials and entrepreneurs from Isabela during a learning visit and facility tour.
The delegation was composed of 30 representatives from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Isabela, led by Provincial Director Atty. Cyrus I. Restauro, along with local government officials and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
They visited the FAST ColdChain Hub in Cavite, as well as FAST’s facilities in Cabuyao, namely, a mega distribution center, toll manufacturing facility, and Learning and Innovation Hub.
Held on Wednesday, November 12, the learning visit served as a platform for knowledge exchange on logistics innovations that can strengthen Isabela’s supply chain, particularly in warehousing, ColdChain, and cost-efficient transport for local products.
It is also part of FAST’s broader strategy of partnering with local government units (LGUs) and national agencies to strengthen collaboration and explore joint projects that enhance regional logistics capabilities.
Stronger Collaboration for Inclusive Growth
Delegates saw firsthand FAST’s Intelligent ColdChain solutions, including temperature-controlled warehousing, blast freezing, packaging, dry storage, and refrigerated transport. They also learned about the Honeywell-powered Warehouse Management System and Voice Pick technology, which are both designed to boost accuracy, efficiency, and productivity in warehouse operations.
FAST also showcased its Value-Added Services, including bundling, repacking, stickering, and labeling, all designed to support retail promotions and sales campaigns for some of the Philippines’ biggest brands.
FAST Logistics Group operates the country’s largest warehousing footprint. With over two million square meters of warehouse space across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, and an annual throughput of one billion cases, FAST has been serving businesses of all sizes — from multinational companies and leading conglomerates to MSMEs.
Moreover, the participants learned about TESDA-accredited training programs in warehouse and forklift operations offered at the FAST Learning and Innovation Hub. They also learned more about FAST’s workforce development initiatives for both aspiring and current logistics professionals.
“FAST has always believed that progress happens through partnership. By sharing our expertise and technology, we help empower local industries and communities to thrive,” said FAST CEO for Logistics Manuel L. Onrejas Jr. “We look forward to extending our collaboration and helping strengthen logistics capabilities in the region,” he added.
He added that the learning engagement and facility tour provided an opportunity for FAST to showcase technologies that make logistics smarter, faster, and more accessible across the country.
FAST has partnered with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region IV-A to hire beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). In addition, the company is working with LGUs to conduct job fairs and is exploring opportunities to hire more residents in Isabela, creating employment and supporting skills development in the logistics sector.
Supporting Regional Development with End-to-End Logistics Solutions
Provincial Director Restauro emphasized the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors in strengthening logistics infrastructure. He noted that partnerships with industry leaders like FAST can help improve warehouse, transport, and ColdChain operations, as well as enhance market access for local products and support the region’s agricultural and economic growth.
The visit concluded with a renewed commitment between FAST, DTI, and local leaders to enhance logistics infrastructure, expand regional trade, and ensure essential goods reach communities efficiently and affordably.
