GENPACCO, INC. was formerly the can making plant of Carnation Philippines, Inc. (CPI) producing sanitary cans of various types and sizes mainly catering to the needs of food and pharmaceutical companies.
In July 1985, Carnation Philippines, Inc. stopped operations and closed its main plant after its mother firm in the United States was bought by Nestle of Switzerland. As CPI was disposing all its local assets, a group of former top executives headed by then VP for Finance and Administration Leonardo S. Cansana, purchased CPI’s can making plant. Thus, in August 1985, GENPACCO, INC. continued operations under new management.
During its first ten years in business, the company operated in a leased plant in Mandaluyong City. The company retained technical personnel from CPI’s can manufacturing operations, thus keeping intact the collective expertise and technical knowledge of CPI in the field of can making.
In 1995, GI has moved to its new plant located at Bo. Pittland, Cabuyao, Laguna. Despite stiff competition in the canning industry, management has been successful in maintaining a firm customer base through its strict adherence and dedication to quality and service.
