MANILA, Philippines — Specialty food ingredients and oleochemicals producer D&L Industries Inc. continues to set its sights on increasing export sales contribution to 50 percent, with one of its units recently recognized by the Department of Trade and Industry for its efforts in expanding the Philippine export market.
D&L Premium Food Corp. (DLPF) president CEO Vincent Lao said D&L continues to grow its footprint across new markets in line with the group’s goal of reaching at least 50 percent of total group sales from exports in the coming years.
“Expanding the global reach of Philippine-made, high-value food products has long been a strategic priority for us,” he said.
DLPF, a wholly owned subsidiary of D&L, has received the Market Diversification Award from the Department of Trade and Industry - Export Marketing Bureau during the Exporters’ Night of the 2025 National Export Week.
The award is given to companies that have successfully entered new international markets and strengthened the global presence of Philippine exports. It also underscores companies that have effectively reduced market concentration risk while achieving sustained growth across multiple export destinations.
D&L said the recognition highlights the expanding global footprint of the company’s food ingredients business, with its products now reaching customers across a growing number of international markets.
“This award reinforces our commitment to help broaden the country’s export base and promote Philippine innovation on the world stage,” Lao said.
DLPF is the operating company behind D&L’s new manufacturing plant in the Batangas Special Economic Zone in Tanauan City.
The facility was established to support the growing demand for specialty oils, fats and customized food ingredients for both domestic and international markets.
As part of the oleo-fats group under D&L, DLPF builds on the group’s decades-long expertise in producing high-quality and value-added food ingredients.
The company supplies a broad range of segments, including food manufacturers, restaurants, bakeries, confectioneries and other institutional customers.
