Chief Operating Officer
Alexandra G. Garcia has been a senior executive for a long time. She helped run the family business, which was very pioneering, entrepreneurial, and kept growing. In the last few years, she was the Chief Operating Officer for CIP, or Chemical Industries of the Philippines, Inc. She was also in charge of compliance and information. In September 2017, Garcia added Compliance and Information Officer to her COO job.
A few months before October 15, 2020, she and nine other directors and executives will no longer be part of CIP. The organization was started by a member of her family 70 years before that. The group sold a majority stake in the company to the Unioil group for $57.5 million.
In 1951, Dr. Eusebio S. Garcia started the first chemical manufacturing company in the Philippines. CIP was the first company in the country to do this. When CIP started, they made sulfuric acid and then fertilizer. This is how it worked: The company grew, and they made it easier for the country to make chemicals. Eventually, CIP would become the Chemphil Group of Companies, which would have a lot of joint venture companies that were owned by people from all over the world. Polyphosphates and alkyl benzene plants were built in the Philippines for the first time by CIP. This was another first for the company.
She also served on the board for CAWC, Inc. For over 50 years, CAWC has been a world-class manufacturer of food, technical, and ceramic-grade phosphates. CAWC is owned by CIP. People who buy detergent and food from the company say that it is a top chemical supplier. Because the company has been approved by BFAD for its food products, the company is always working on new high-value food grade phosphates to help the Philippines and the Asia Pacific region become more economically stable and to make more money.
She was on the board of Kemwater Phil Corp. (KPC) and helped with a joint venture that was set up in 1998 with Kemira Oy, a Finnish company. The company is one of the best at making water treatment chemicals. KPC makes aluminum sulfate, which is an inorganic coagulant that can be used to clean both drinking water and wastewater. Customer base: It sells to the water, paper, and detergent industries, among other things
Alexandra G. Garcia is on the board of CMC, or Chemphil Manufacturing Corp., which is another company. She used to be the CEO and Executive Director of LMG Chemicals Corp. All of LMG Chemicals Corporation is owned by CMC. They make sulfuric acid, oleum, and sulfur flakes that are high-tech and chemically pure. Their main product is sulfuric acid. Their plant uses technology that is good for the environment (well below SO2 gas emission standards). Molten sulfur, a byproduct of local oil refineries, is recycled at their plant. They also have a turbo generator that helps to solve the problem of intermittent power in the industrial community. This generator gives power to nearby plants and reduces the need for the Manila Electric Company. From 2002 to 2017, Alexandra G. Garcia was on the board of LMG Chemicals Corp. She was on the board for almost 15 years, from 2002 to 2017.Alexandra G. Garcia agrees with the Chemphil credo, which reads in part: "We believe that it is our duty to help the Philippines grow and improve the lives of its people."
