PEPCO, Philippine Environmentech Products Corporation, is presently engaged in the manufacturing of coco fibers with coco organic soil (coco peat) as its by-products, from coconut husks. PEPCO predominantly exports its coco fibers to North Asia and will soon export its coco organic soil.

PEPCO was organized in January, 2002 by the Young family (Filipino) in cooperation with the Chen Shou-nan family (Taiwan) to develop the coco coir business and to promote its environmental utility through appropriate applications. Its facilities were originally installed by the Chen family about ten years ago.

During its maiden year of operations, the plant facilities were being improved. Up to this date, the upgrading of the plant facilities is ongoing. The facilities include two sets of double drum decorticating machines, three sets of high pressure strapping machines and a coco-shell fired drier, all with their attendant accessories. Each decorticating machine has the capacity to manufacture almost eight tons of coco fibers and twenty four tons of coco organic soil on a two shift basis.

The plant is located in Victoria, Laguna, Philippines. Strategically, the plant is near its sources of raw material and its markets/port facilities.

The officers of PEPCO are: Mr. Roland U. Young as Chair and CEO; Mr. Chen Shou-nan as Vice-Chair and Consultant; Mr. Ronald Young as President; Ms. Carolina T. Young as Treasurer; Mr. R. Frederick Young as Executive Assistant to the Chair; Mr. Eduardo Devanadera as plant supervisor; Mr. Jose Jamilaran as plant engineer; and Ms Jingle Pascual as administrative assistant.
