Eagle Cement Corp. is expanding its partnership with one of the Philippines’ top construction firms, EEI Corp., in support of the Duterte administration’s aggressive infrastructure spending program.
In a statement, Eagle said the new deal is set to strengthen the two companies’ existing partnership as it expands the EEI projects that would be supplied by the company.
The strategic alliance comes in the middle of the government’s P8-trillion Build Build Build program, as well as the increased construction activity spurred by projects from conglomerates and property developers.
“This contract is another feather in our cap. EEI is among the biggest players in the infrastructure industry and their confidence in Eagle, as exemplified by this partnership, is testament to the quality of our products and service,” Eagle chief operating officer and general manager Manny Teng said.
At present, Eagle is exclusively supplying two landmark EEI projects, the P37.4-billion Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 and the P62.7-billion MRT-7.
EEI vice president and chief procurement officer Edwin Constantino said EEI needs a supplier like Eagle which can provide cement that meets their standards in terms of quality and quantity.
With the upcoming line-up of projects for EEI, Eagle’s soon-to-be-expanded capacity would be of great asset to their business, Constantino said.
“With the excellent experience we’ve had with Eagle Cement, along with the expansion of their capacity, they will be able to provide companies like us with cement that matches the scale and requirements of our projects. Eagle’s cement meets the required strength that we need to be able to build our projects successfully,” Constantino said.
Eagle’s is expanding its capacity with the completion of its third production line in Bulacan by early 2018.
The new line will bring Eagle’s capacity up to 7.1 million metric tons per year.
The additional capacity will help provide the greater demand for cement in the country, which will come from the lined-up infrastructure initiatives of the government as well as projects from private firms.
