CLARK FREEPORT ZONE, PAMPANGA — Clark is no longer just a domestic industrial hub. It's becoming a gateway to Europe. Polymer Link (Philippines), Inc. is expanding its operations in Clark to boost plastic powder and compound exports to Europe by 2027, supporting its parent group's European growth. The announcement positions Clark as a key player in the global supply chain — and a strategic base for companies looking to reach new markets.
The Strategic Growth Play and Local Supply Chain Role
The company plans to scale up shipments to Europe, specifically targeting Poland, starting in 2027—a bold move that underscores confidence in Clark's infrastructure, workforce, and business environment . As of June 2026, Polymer Link recorded USD 2.96 million in actual investments in Clark and generated roughly USD 163,000 in exports between January and June 2026, figures that reflect a company that is not just present in Clark but invested, active, and growing . Beyond its European ambitions, Polymer Link plays a critical role in the local supply chain by supplying plastic powder to Outback Five Star Clark Philippines, Inc., which manufactures insulated cooler boxes for the global brand YETI . That means products made in Clark are already reaching international markets—and Polymer Link is at the center of it, reinforcing the freeport zone's reputation as a reliable base for export-oriented manufacturing.
The High-Level Meeting That Sealed the Deal
The expansion was discussed during a high-level meeting on October 16 at the Selangor International Business Summit 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the Clark Development Corporation delegation was led by President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera, who emphasized CDC's commitment to providing the infrastructure, logistics, and skilled workforce needed to sustain and expand manufacturing operations . Polymer Link leadership was represented by President Kevin Koh and CFO Low Jun Hoong, with the company operating as a subsidiary of the Malaysia-based Polymer Link Holdings Berhad, specializing in rotational molding and industrial plastic applications . The Philippine expansion is part of a broader regional strategy, with Clark serving as a key manufacturing base for the group's growing portfolio. Polymer Link's expansion is more than a business story—it's a signal that Clark is ready for the global stage, proving that with strong government support, a skilled workforce, and a strategic location, the freeport zone can attract, retain, and grow international manufacturers. As Polymer Link scales up its European exports by 2027, the world will be watching what Clark can do.
