About Alexandra G Garcia

Alexandra G. Garcia, a long-serving senior executive, has spent her career assisting in the management of a pioneering, ambitious, and ever-expanding family firm. She most recently worked with CIP, or Chemical Industries of the Philippines, Inc., as Chief Operating Officer and Compliance & Information Officer. Garcia, who has been with the company for a long time, added Compliance & Information Officer to her COO responsibilities in September 2017.

 

She and nine other directors and executives resigned from CIP on October 15, 2020, roughly 70 years after the organization was formed by family member Dr. Eusebio S. Garcia. The group sold a controlling ownership in the company to the Unioil group for 57 percent.

 

Dr. Eusebio S. Garcia started CIP in 1951 as the Philippines' first chemical production firm. CIP began by making sulfuric acid and eventually moved on to fertilizer production. As the corporation expanded, it prepared the path for the country's chemical industry to thrive. CIP would eventually evolve into the Chemphil Group of Firms, which would include multiple joint venture companies co-owned by global partners. Another first was when CIP expanded to establish the Philippines' first polyphosphates and alkyl benzene factories.

 

Alexandra G. Garcia also served on the CAWC, Inc. board of directors. CAWC is a completely owned subsidiary of CIP and has been a leading manufacturer of high-quality food, technical, and ceramic grade phosphates, as well as phosphoric acid products, for more than 50 years. The company is a market leader in the chemical industry and a preferred supplier to international companies in the detergent and food industries. As a BFAD-accredited food grade company, the company continues to develop novel high-value food grade phosphates in order to contribute to the Philippines' and Asia Pacific region's economic development.

 

Alexandra G. Garcia was on the board of directors of Kemwater Phil Corp (KPC) and advised on a joint venture founded in 1998 with Kemira Oy of Finland. The company is a market leader in the manufacture of water treatment chemicals. KPC manufactures both solid and liquid aluminum sulfate, an inorganic coagulant that is utilized in both drinking water and wastewater treatment.
