Fabrica

Fabrica is the name of several barrios (or barangay) in the Philippines, including in the province of Negros Occidental, in the Republic of the Philippines. It was formerly the biggest barrio in the Philippines, and one of the most cosmopolitan areas in the Visayas.

Fabrica was internationally famous since the early 1900s up to the year 1976, as the site of the largest lumber company and sawmill in the world, the Insular Lumber Company (ILCO), owned by the Americans. ILCO produced hardwood lumber which was well-known the world over, and was exported to the United States, Australia, and to many other countries in the world, bringing in dollars to the Philippine economy.

Fabrica was also the generic name of the barrios of Fabrica, Paraiso, and Central Lopez, where a sugarmill was located, making the area the most industrialized in Negros.
