Integrated Microelectronics Inc. (IMI) Philippines remains fully operational and committed to meeting all production and delivery obligations following the government’s declaration of a State of National Energy Emergency on 24 March 2026.
In response to potential fuel and energy risks stemming from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, IMI has activated its Business Continuity Plans to ensure uninterrupted operations. Measures include close coordination with utility providers, the use of redundant power systems and emergency fuel reserves, prioritized logistics arrangements, production scheduling adjustments, and enhanced energy efficiency initiatives across facilities.
IMI does not anticipate disruptions to customer commitments at this time. Teams across operations, engineering, procurement, logistics, and customer service remain fully mobilized to support continuity and on-time delivery.
The government’s Executive Order authorizes nationwide interventions, including fuel allocation planning, procurement from alternative markets, enforcement against hoarding, implementation of the UPLIFT framework, and energy conservation measures. These actions, alongside accelerated procurement of additional fuel reserves, aim to strengthen national energy security.
IMI will continue to closely monitor developments and remains committed to transparency and timely communication should operational conditions change.
