Toll Group has announced the opening of a new office in Subic Bay, Philippines, strengthening its ability to support tailored government and defence services in the region.
Located within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, the office will provide a local base to support Toll’s customers operating in the Philippines and across the Indo‑Pacific.
The establishment of the office reflects Toll’s focus on delivering compliant, reliable logistics support aligned with host‑nation requirements and established international frameworks. Subic Bay Freeport Zone forms part of the Luzon Economic Corridor and is a well-positioned logistics hub, offering convenient access to both international seaport and airport infrastructure, supporting multimodal logistic opportunities across air, sea and land.
Toll commenced supporting customers from the new office in March 2026 and sees opportunity in assisting defence alliance partner forces.
The location enhances Toll’s capacity to assist defence alliance partner forces operating in the region, leveraging local expertise and an understanding of in‑country processes to support theatre logistics requirements in accordance with applicable agreements and regulatory frameworks.
“Our presence in Subic Bay allows us to better support defence-related activities for the US Armed Force, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces as well as the Australian Defence Forces by combining local knowledge with Toll’s broader theatre supply chain experience,” said Philippine country manager Ligert Lee within Toll Group’s theatre supply chain team.
“We are currently supporting air and sea freight movements for defence-related cargo and see opportunities to expand the scope towards comprehensive theatre logistics solutions combining multimodal options for all types of cargo and integrated end-to-end logistics support.
“This office supports the development of locally based teams with the skills required to handle specialised and regulated cargo. Over time, we expect this to create employment opportunities.”
Toll Group government and defence expansion in the Philippines underscores their ongoing commitment to supporting government and defence customers in the Indo-Pacific region through responsible operations and adherence to applicable regulatory and governance frameworks.
