About Alexandra G Garcia
Alexandra G. Garcia, a long-serving senior executive, spent her career assisting in the management of the pioneering, entrepreneurial, 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.

Dr. Eusebio S. Garcia started CIP in 1951 as the Philippines' first chemical production firm. CIP began by producing sulfuric acid and eventually fertilizer. As the corporation expanded, it set the path for the growth of the country's chemical industry. CIP would eventually become the Chemphil Group of Firms, which included various joint venture companies co-owned by global partners. In another first, CIP expanded to develop the Philippines' first polyphosphates and alkyl benzene factories.
Alexandra G. Garcia was also a member of the CAWC, Inc. board of directors. CAWC is a completely owned subsidiary of CIP and has been a world-class manufacturer of high-quality food, technical, and ceramic grade phosphates, as well as phosphoric acid, for over 50 years. By the standards of its international customers in the detergent and food industries, the company is a top-tier chemical producer and supplier. As a BFAD-accredited food grade company for its food products, the company is always developing new high-value food grade phosphates to contribute to the economic development of the Philippines and the Asia Pacific region.
Alexandra G. Garcia now serves on the board of CMC, or Chemphil Manufacturing Corp. She previously served as LMG Chemicals Corp.'s Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director. LMG Chemicals Corporation owns 100% of CMC. Technical grade and chemically pure sulfuric acid, oleum, and sulfur flakes are their principal products. Their factory employs environmentally benign (far below SO2 gas emission regulations) technology to recycle molten sulfur, a dangerous byproduct of nearby oil refineries. They are also helping to alleviate the industrial community's intermittent power constraint by operating a turbo generator that supplies power to neighboring plants while reducing reliance on the Manila Electric Company. Alexandra G. Garcia was on the board of directors of LMG Chemicals Corp for over 15 years, from 2002 to 2017.
