Sumitomo to grace the 30th Philconstruct Expo 2019

Japanese brand Sumitomo Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. is once again participating in the upcoming Philconstruct 2019 with its state-ofthe-art design and technology.

The annual event, now in its 30th year, has become a renowned gathering for all the movers and shakers in the building and construction industry -- ongoing at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

Sumitomo has over 50 years of experience under its belt, having started its business in 1968. The brand is currently developing groundbreaking machines for roads as well as hydraulics.

Over the years, Sumitomo has actively expanded its reach across the world. It currently has a strong presence in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The company, which started its operations in the Philippines in the 1980s, is being distributed by Macro Construction Equipment for Luzon market and by 3 in1 Marketing for Visayas and Mindanao market locally.

One of the company’s goals is to strengthen its presence in the local market—which is currently on a very promising growth in terms of construction projects. What time sets Sumitomo apart from other brands on the same stream, however, is its dedication to the quality and safety of its users. This puts a premium on improving user satisfaction, at the same time, profitability. Its company figures show that it is going in the right direction, too. According to its numbers, the company has the capacity to sell approximately 15,000 hydraulic extractors and 240 asphalt finishers per year.

By showcasing its products at the Philconstruct Expo, Sumitomo is aiming not only to maintain its reputation in the country but also to strengthen its foothold in the local market.
