Pasudeco Sugar Central

The Pampanga Sugar Development Company built the first Filipino-financed sugar central in Pampanga, Philippines. It was established in 1921 by several local families in Pampanga.[1] It is the oldest running mill in the province.[2]

The Pasudeco Sugar Central was finished in March, 1921, to serve as a central purchasing and processing company for the surrounding sugar plantations. Financed by the Pampanga Sugar Development Company, it was constructed by the Honolulu Iron Works. Its existence became a catalyst for the exponential growth of San Fernando, the capital of the rich sugar-producing province of Pampanga.

On July 12, 1939, two of the founders, Jose de Leon and Augusto Gonzalez, as well as Constabulary Captain Julian Olivas, were gunned down[3] at the administrative offices of Pasudeco. At that time, de Leon and Gonzalez were the two richest men in Pampanga and the biggest Pasudeco shareholders.

The 30-meter-high 1964 Chimney 3 was transferred to Capital Town gate in July 2022. Chimneys 1 and 2 at 45.73 meter each, which were made from 1918 to 1922 will be rebuilt by Megaworld and relocated to Capital Mall.[4] Capital Town is a Script error: No such module "convert". development in San Fernando, Pampanga, standing in PASUDECO site.
