Innovative Fibre Industries is an Australian owned and operated company that has been manufacturing in Subic Bay since 2012. The company was founded by a group of Australian businessmen who have a significant number of years’ experience in the insulation and fibre manufacturing industry. The idea behind the business came from a demonstrated need for improved insulation options within Asia. IFI utilised their experience and know-how for manufacturing a quality natural fibre product for insulation purposes and modified the technology to create an equivalent product applicable for the market in Asia.
Since 2012 Innovative Fibre Industries has been steadily developing the cellulose insulation market within the Philippines, as well as exporting throughout South East Asia. IFI’s products take into consideration the specific needs and requirements of their customers and tailor make solutions to meet the standards necessary. IFI’s goal is to improve the Philippines building and agricultural industry by providing the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly insulation in the Philippines.
