Anflo Industrial Estate (AIE), Damosa Land’s premiere agro-industrial hub in Mindanao, sustains its competitive advantage and drive for progress despite global economic challenges.

Damosa Land, a premier homegrown developer in Mindanao, is accelerating the region’s emergence as a globally competitive investment hub. At the heart of this vision is the Anflo Industrial Estate (AIE), the company’s flagship agro-industrial development that is redefining countryside growth by attracting both global and domestic firms while positioning Mindanao more prominently on the international trade map.

Anflo Industrial Estate serves as a catalyst for industrial progress in Mindanao—empowering global and local enterprises, creating jobs, and positioning the region as a rising hub for export manufacturing and agribusiness.

Spanning over 63 hectares of master-planned industrial space, AIE is steadily reinforcing its reputation as a PEZA-registered economic zone with world-class infrastructure, attractive fiscal incentives, and direct access to key export markets.

“AIE’s thriving ecosystem reflects the rising investor confidence in Mindanao as a strategic growth corridor,” said Ricardo F. Lagdameo, President and CEO of Damosa Land. “We are unlocking long-term value for investors while creating inclusive, sustainable opportunities for the region.”

Strategic Access, Global Connectivity

Located within Davao’s agricultural innovation corridor, AIE is situated close to the Davao International Container Terminal. This prime location provides tenants with direct access to international shipping routes and enables them to operate more efficiently in both regional and global markets.

The estate supports supply chain diversification, particularly for companies seeking cost-effective and resilient locations outside traditional investment centers. As a PEZA-registered zone, AIE offers fiscal and non-fiscal incentives that help firms remain competitive even amid tariff-related uncertainties.

Its ASEAN location also allows companies to benefit from preferential trade agreements with the United States, European Union, Japan, and neighboring countries, making AIE a strategic springboard for export-driven operations.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

AIE is driving a new wave of countryside development in Mindanao—proving that growth outside traditional urban centers can be both viable and investment-grade. As the estate gains momentum, it is drawing serious investor attention from key players across the global.

Notably, AIE has attracted foreign direct investments (FDIs) from industry leaders—well-established names in agribusiness, advanced manufacturing, and food processing—who have chosen AIE as their expansion base in the Philippines. 

Global sports brand, Head Sport, makes its mark in Mindanao with the world’s largest tennis ball factory at Anflo Industrial Estate— supporting the region’s agricultural industry, boosting exports, generating local employment, and placing the region on the global manufacturing map.

Its largest locator to date, Head Sport—one of the leading brands in sporting equipment—is poised to manufacture 14 million dozen tennis balls every year in what will become the largest tennis ball factory in the world. Its latest locator, Thai Coconut, will expand its operation by investing approximately 430 million baht for a state-of-the-art coconut milk production facility in AIE. 

On the local front, GMAC Logitech Refrigeration Corporation – a joint venture between Glacier Megafridge, Incorporated and AC Logistics Holdings Corporation – is building a 12,000-pallet-capacity cold storage facility, Mindanao’s largest, which will boost food security in the region. Other Filipino companies, such as First Panabo Tropical Foods Corporation. and Southern Harvest, Inc., process locally grown bananas for export into the global market.

With a total of 24 locators from six different countries, the growing presence of companies at AIE speaks volumes about the estate’s competitiveness, the region’s potential, and the trust placed in Damosa Land’s long-term vision.

“These companies are not only expanding their reach through AIE’s strategic location and competitive advantages but are also helping lay the foundation for a stronger and more inclusive economy in Mindanao,” said Lagdameo. “Anflo Industrial Estate continues to prove that world-class investments and countryside development can move forward together, and we are committed to positioning Mindanao as a key driver of national growth and a preferred destination for global and local investors.”
