These corporations forming the Anflocor Group of Companies all started on December 20, 1950 with the abaca plantation that sprung from the swampy land of Davao del Norte. What became the largest abaca producer in the world later shifted its business operations to the production and export of bananas to other countries. But growing and exporting of bananas required a multi-faceted operation. This consequently led to the creation of satellite companies dedicated to providing services essential to carrying out the operation of a banana plantation. Among which are packaging production company, a port, and a trucking service provider.
