"A knowledgeable workforce remains the heart of our operation, from sales people to the engineers that conceive our packages."

- Mr. Albert Tanlimco, President, Fompac Plastics Corporation

By Mano Hanako Figueras
 The world as we know it in the 21st century is moving faster than ever. Between earning a living and raising a family, social networking has become a valuable means of meeting new people, whilst fast food meals have become the order of the day even for those in high level business meetings.
 Fompac Plastics Corporation taps directly into the demand of today's fast paced lifestyle by being a leading manufacturer and distributor of plastic packaging products used by fast food giants in the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific region. Mr. Albert Tanlimco, President and Owner of Fompac Plastics Corporation, talks to International Plastics News for Asia (IRNA) about the trends in plastics manufacturing industry in Asia.

IRNA: How did Fompac Plastics Corporation (Fompac) emerge into an important player in the industry?
Tanlimco: Fompac Plastics Corporation was formed in 1988 to create a superior source of plastic packaging for domestic and export markets. Our goal was to develop an advanced plastic manufacturing and trading organisation, not only in terms of production, but also in market awareness, engineering design, and logistical support.
 What started as a means to supply thermoformed polystyrene foam packaging for the Philippine market grew into much more than we envisioned. The fast food industry was just beginning to grow when we began, and Fompac literally grew with its demands. Since then we have added injection-moulded and blow-moulded products; however, thermoforming remains our core process.

Fompac is equipped with an engineering centre to provide technical support to customers’ design needs.IRNA: Could you give us a rundown of your most popular products?
Tanlimco: Our best seller is our noodle box, which is perfect packaging for spaghetti meal, and is used by fast food restaurants around the country. Aside from this, we also have trays and plates, such as microwaveable food trays, salad packs, meat trays, noodle trays, siomai trays, cake roll trays, utility trays, and plates; clear packs such as pasta packs, sandwich packs, large food packs for fruits and vegetables, and assorted clear packs perfect for various deserts, sushi, and other food items; foam clamshells used as "bento boxes" for set meals, chicken dishes, burger boxes, and 2 to 4-division lunch boxes.
 We also manufacture plastic cutleries, hygienic collectible tumblers for hot and cold beverages, which are highly sought after as an advertising vehicle for promoting products or events. We also have soup bowls and portion cups designed to hold different kinds of sauces and can also be used to seAdidas Yeezy
