We have to innovate. We can’t always be just stuck in the same building. Plus, this new factory is going to cater a lot more. It’s going to produce a lot faster.

Under the stewardship of the Frasco family’s 4th generation, the new factory, built on a 1.3-hectare property, is set to house new and improved machinery, increasing the business’s productivity and efficiency.
According to Margarita “Margo” Domingo Frasco, Titay’s Liloan Rosquillos and Delicacies Chief Operating Officer, building a new factory is their way to ride the wave of the changing times. “We have to innovate. We can’t always be just stuck in the same building. Plus, this new factory is going to cater a lot more. It’s going to produce a lot faster.”
The new factory boasts state-of-the-art equipment, from cutting-edge cookie makers to advanced ovens, a significant upgrade from those utilized in Titay’s previous facility. This modernization eliminates manual processes, ushering in automation and ensuring the business’s production is agile and adaptable to evolving demands.

Moreover, the design of Titay’s soon-to-be factory is contemporary, with a touch of the defining structural elements of its original store, which resembles traditional Spanish architecture. Through this, the brand can tell the story of its rich heritage as a leading pasalubong center in Cebu to the new generation.
The new factory assures employment to 250 workers, the current number of existing employees working for Titay’s. Currently, the well-loved Titay’s rosquillos and other delicacies are produced manually. Completing the new factory ensures livelihood among locals, adding more workers to cater to the brand’s goal of reaching more customers outside.
“By embracing innovation and procuring new equipment, we enhance efficiency and increase productivity without compromising quality. And since we are devoting certain product lines to continued manual production, we assure Titay’s future without sacrificing livelihood,” said Deputy Speaker and Cebu 5th District Representative, Hon. Vincent Franco “Duke” Domingo Frasco, who also serves as Titay’s Liloan Rosquillos and Delicacies Finance Director.
