The Central Luzon State University forged a partnership with Bauertek Corporation, one of the country’s premier manufacturers of food supplements through a memorandum of agreement (MOA) that includes the establishment of a multi-million dollar project in the university which will house various state-of-the-art laboratories for high-value crops, bio-active compounds, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

The MOA signing held on November 13, 2023 was led by CLSU President Dr. Edgar A. Orden, together with Dr. Ariel G. Mactal, VP Business Affairs and Mr. Rigel Gomez, Bauertek President and Mr. Richard Nixon C. Gomez, General Manager.

A long-term partnership between the two organizations with a focus on fostering research and development in the field of herbal supplements will provide CLSU students and faculty with opportunities for hands-on training and exposure to industry standards and practices.
