We champion our members' interests at every level. We have not changed our name — to remind us of our humble beginning.

About the Chamber

Who we are

MEPZCEM Chamber Inc. — the Mactan Export Processing Zone Chamber of Exporters and Manufacturers — was organized in 1984 in MEPZ 1 with six founding member companies.

Today, the chamber has grown its membership to 157 companies and support groups, expanding to MEPZ 2, Cebu Light Industrial Park, Cebu Business Park, MRI in Danao City, New Cebu Township One (NCTO) in Naga City, WCIP in Balamban, and PASAR in Isabel, Leyte.

We have not changed our name — to remind us of our humble beginning and keep us grounded in our original mission.

The organization promotes the general welfare of its member companies, their employees, and the communities where they operate. It advocates for the simplification and decentralization of PEZA, BOC, DENR, and LGU rules and procedures.

MEPZCEM is the umbrella organization of seven associations representing professionals in HR, purchasing, traffic, security, accounting, facilities management, and information technology.

MEPZCEM has worked with PEZA, NGOs, and government agencies in seeking solutions to support locators — cheaper power, adequate water supply, and 24/7 Customs support.

Through its associations, MEPZCEM has been active in relief efforts for victims of natural calamities — typhoons, earthquakes, and Covid-19 — demonstrating the spirit of bayanihan and solidarity.

Member companies also play hard through Sportsfest, ERT Competition, Fun Run, Golf Tournament, and the Pursuit of Excellence — fostering unity and strong relations.
