The Company
November 18, 1960 witnessed the beginning of Bernabe Construction and Industrial Corporation of Asia (BCICA). Initially known as F. Bernabe & Sons and located in a modest office-plant in Quezon City, the company dealt mainly with steel and wood fabrication, specializing in the manufacture of fixtures and furnitures. Its first clients were mostly schools, like St. Joseph College, Manuel L. Quezon University, Sta. Scholastica College, University of Santo Tomas, De La Salle University, University of the East, Stella Maris College and Ateneo de Manila University, and cinema houses, to name a few. Just within three years after its founding, BCICA underwent tremendous growth and expansion.
With the expanded activities of oil companies in the Philippines, BCICA extended its business lines to fill the needs of such companies as ESSO (now Petron), Mobil, Shell and Caltex.
Not long after, expansion of the operations of the sugar industry followed suit. BCICA, ever sensitive to the developments in national progress, became an active participant in and contributed immensely to the accelerated growth of the sugar industry. With the company’s inherent pioneering spirit, innovativeness and creativity, other industry follow suit in our long list of clientele whose demands for quality, precision, and meeting contractual time is of foremost consideration to mention a few; cement, agriculture, construction, pulp and paper, food industry, and not to mention others on our growing list of customers.
In 1964, due to the need for more space to accommodate the Company’s increasing demand for its products and services, the company moved its plant to a 12,000 square meter lot in Valenzuela, Metro Manila. In 1982, its office in Quezon City was transferred to its newly constructed office and plant for better coordination. Today, under the roof covering 8,000 square meters is a beehive of activities with jobs being handled by highly-skilled hands under strict supervision of highly-trained supervisors and quality control engineers to ensure adherence to contract specifications, quality, and completion schedules.
To complement its expanded operations and upgrading of its products, BCICA acquired bigger and more sophisticated machineries from England, Japan and Singapore. It also hired more skilled workers, technicians and support staff to augment its work force. Today, BCICA has no less than 250 employees -- structural and electrical engineers, highly skilled technicians, and planners. The Company, besides being fabricators of factory and building structures, also acts as consultants for road construction and earth works projects as well as for pre-casting/pre-stressing of various concrete form works.
The BCICA has also participated actively as importer/exporter and/or project managers for industrial companies in Germany, France, Australia, Italy and the USA. This international exposure has further improved the Company’s stature in the construction industry.
Today, Bernabe Construction and Industrial Corporation of Asia has indeed established an enviable record of outstanding achievements in the field of general construction, project engineering management, fabricator of cement, sugar and mining equipment and facilities, and in the construction of waste water plant and facilities and pressure vessels.
The following pages will attest to the capabilities of this company which believes not only in growth with direction, a growth guided by a vision of a nation emerging as a respectable force in our country’s continuing quest as a new economic tiger of Asia.
