Hacienda Macalauan Inc

Hacienda Macalauan, Inc. (HMI) is a Philippine corporation and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission in 1995 as a dairy farm entity, whose primary purpose is to operate a dairy farm and manufacture milk products and related dairy products.

The company was founded by its current President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Eduardo J. Soriano, who has been engaged in the dairy industry since his family operated San Miguel Corporation and Magnolia Dairy.

Farm operations began with just a handful of Magnolia dairy cows but quickly expanded into a small-scale dairy farm following the acquisition and importation of 100 heads of Freshian Sahiwals from Australia. It was in the late 1990’s that HMI started its dairy processing operation. The plant initially processed liquid milk and cheese products, which include white cheese or kesong puti, ricotta and cottage cheese. These were delivered by reefer vans daily to Manila’s exclusive subdivisions and villages thus earning its moniker“The Milkman”.

Overlooking the scenic Mt. Makiling in Calauan, Laguna, today HMI’s farm boasts several hectares of pasture land for its dairy herd, an automated milking parlor and a technologically advanced dairy processing plant.

In early 2013, as part of its diversifcation strategy, HMI started the plan to venture intomanufacturing of coconut products for export, particularly to the US and EU markets. The project evolved initially as a way of adding more efficiency to the existing dairy plant by utilizing excess capacity.

With the increasing world-wide demand for healthier and nutritious food and beverages, and given the excess capacity of its dairy plant and the abundant availability of coconuts in Calabarzon area, the Company decided to build its integrated coconut processing (ICP) plant. HMI’s ICP plant is also another state of the art facilty equipped with latest ICP machineries and equipment uses an integrated approach to manufacture high quality coconut products with zero-waste, and can fairly compete in the world market. From powering our boilers with coconut shell to the use of paring cake as feeds for our dairy operation, the operation takes a stand as being environmentally-friendly.

Today, with its increasing total assets and resources, the Company looks forward to providing its customers with the best dairy and non dairy products, moving forward.
