Key Stategies

A Changing of the Guard

Expansion and integration projects are vigorously pursued in response to improved demand in the world market. Conrado C. Alcantara passes away. His eldest son, Nicasio I. Alcantara takes over. CASI adopts the principle of

participatory management by launching the Quality Circle Program. Logging concession in Kapalong, Davao del Norte is closed down three years before expiration, in support of the government's reforestation program.

A New Dimension to World-Class Stature

Launch of the KAYANG-KAYA Productivity Improvement Program aimed at increasing productivity and employee participation in attaining company goals and objectives. The program synthesizes values and work ethics of CASI and its people. Completion of P150-Million plant modernization project which began in 1989. New technology ensuring maximum recovery of raw materials is introduced. CASI engages in full scale production of plywood from tree plantation species logs from New Zealand and South Africa. Launches ECOWOOD, "The Plywood To Save Our Forests." On July 17,1997 CASI receives an ISO 9002 Certification from SGS Yarsley (UK) to become the first and only plywood manufacturing company in the Philippines, and one among the few in the world to be certified. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) through SmartWood gives CASI on November 15,1999 a "Chain of Custody" (COC) certification. The certification is the first and a breakthrough in the Philippine plywood industry.

Continuing Leadership in the New Millennium

To this day, CASI continues its commitment as a world-class plywood manufacturing company.

A Decade of Challenges

Economic upheavals and political unrest put CASI's stability to the test. Yet, CASI still manages to expand its international market to the United States, Hong Kong, and Australia.

y y

Fire guts the CASI sawmill. Strict austerity measures are implemented. Inauguration of the lumber finishing plant, enabling CASI to produce export quality finished lumber products.

Production capacity increases to 12,000 panels per day the installation of new machinery.

CASI undertakes a re-organization and goes on cost-reduction to cope with soaring world oil prices. Prices of wood products are at a record low.

CASI sets aside a sanctuary for the endangered Philippine Eagle in Calinan-Magpet logging concession area. The Calinan-Magpet logging operation is shut down. Massive is inevitable.

Legaspi Oil Company, Inc.

Legaspi Oil Company is just one of the five companies traditionally engaged in the business of coconut oil milling / refining substantially owned by CIIF accompanied by San Pablo Manufacturing Corporation, Cagayan de Oro Oil Co., Inc., Southern Luzon Coconut Oil Mill, Inc., and Granexport Manufacturing Corporation.

Process/es OIL MILLING/ SOLVENT EXTRACTION/ PELLETIZING Copra (about 64% oil content) from the warehouse bin is fed to a belt conveyor where dirts and other foreign materials are manually removed. Metallic objects are disposed off by means of magnets strategically installed along the conveying lines. The cleaned copra next passes through a series of size reduction equipment primary grinders, secondary grinders and flakers, where the size is

reduced to about 6 mesh (1/8). The material is then, conveyed to the driers where the final moisture is adjusted to 2%-3%. The cooked/dried copra is fed to the expellers for extraction of the oil by means of mechanical pressing to about 15%18% residual oil in the cake. Expeller oil, containing fine solids, is conveyed to the filtration section for purification then pumped to the storage tanks. Copra cake from the expellers goes to the solvent extraction plant where it undergoes continuous washing with hexane in a countercurrent operations in the extractor. The spent meal containing 25%-30% solvent carryover passes to heated screws and desolventizer/toasters to remove the remaining traces of hexane from the material. It then goes to the pelleting plant. Then, finally to the warehouse for storage. The hexane vapors pass to the condensation and recovery system where the solvent is recovered and recycled to the extractor. The extracted oil, on the other hand, is pumped to the filtration section for purification and blending with the expeller oil. REFINING Refining process involves treatment of the crude coconut oil (CNO) with caustic soda solution to reduce the Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content to a final value of 0.05% Lauric and the reduction of color from 12 red to 0.7 red via addition of Bleaching earth and activated carbon. In addition, other impurities in the oil such as gums, phosphatides, pigments and other oxidation products which would impair the taste, odor, keeping quality and other desired properties of the oil are, likewise, removed. The unit operations consist of degumming and neutralization processes by means of phosphoric acid and caustic soda. The soap-stock formed from this reaction is separated from the bulk of the oil in the primary centrifuge followed by water washing and separation in the secondary centrifuge for removal of any entrained soap particles. The soap stock and wash waters are pumped to the acidulation and wastewater treatment. The neutral oil is next mixed with bleaching

earth and activated carbon for reduction of the color. Final purification is effected by means of filters presses and polishing filters, then pumped to the storage tanks. DEODORIZING All edible oils and fats contain certain compounds which impart peculiar taste and odor unpalatable to human taste. Present in minor quantities, these contaminants can, however, be removed by deodorization a process of steam distillation under a relatively high vacuum at elevated temperatures. Refined bleached oil from the refining section is first transferred to a deaerator operating under vacuum for removal of any entrained air. The oil then passes through series of heaters where the temperature is raised to the level desirable for efficient steam distillation and deodorization process. Live steam is sparged at the bottom of the column to vaporize the odor and taste imparting components from the bulk of the oil unit. The fully deodorized and refined oil is withdrawn from the column passing to a cooler and polishing filter basket for removal of any fine suspension before being finally pumped to the storage tank.
