Iwahori Multi-purpose Cooperative

Iwahori Multi-Purpose Cooperative (MPC) is a well-established cooperative based in Mariveles, Bataan, that has grown significantly since its beginnings. It originally started in 1991 as the Iwahori Employees Credit Cooperative (IECC) with just 29 members and a small capital of ₱40,000, serving employees of Iwahori Philippines, Inc. in Mariveles’ industrial area. 

By the early 2000s, it transitioned into a multi-purpose cooperative, broadening its mission beyond credit to provide a range of financial and allied services for its members. Over the decades, the cooperative expanded its membership base, assets, and services, becoming a vital financial institution in the community.

Today, Iwahori MPC is recognized as one of the leading cooperatives in Bataan, noted for both its longevity and contribution to local economic development. It has been cited by provincial cooperative development offices and awards bodies as a standout performer among cooperatives in the province.
