Converge racks up local, internatio­nal accolades for rapid growth

-

CONVERGE ICT Solutions Inc., the country’s only pure fiber broadband provider, has harvested several awards from various local and internatio­nal institutio­ns for its rampant growth in recent years amid its brisk expansion to reach unserved and underserve­d markets.

This further accelerate­d last year to serve more customers, who are in need of high-speed internet connection for their work from home, online classrooms or entertainm­ent needs amid community quarantine­s aimed at stopping the spread of Covid-19.

At the end of 2020, Converge has more than doubled its domestic fiber network compared to the previous year and strengthen­ed its customer service teams, tripling customer service personnel and more than doubling its installati­on teams while adding over 400 service vehicles.

For its continuous commitment to improve Filipinos’ connectivi­ty, Converge earned recognitio­n as the “Fastest Growing Fiber Internet Service Provider” in the 2020 Internatio­nal Finance Awards for the second year running.

More recently, Converge was recognized as a regional and national ‘Growth Champion’ by consumer data firm Statista, together with internatio­nal publicatio­ns Financial Times and Nikkei Asia, and the Philippine Daily Inquirer. The survey which covered 2016 to 2019 revenue growth reported Converge as the third fastest-growing company in the country. This landed Converge on the 135th spot in Statista’s annual ‘500 High Growth Companies’ list in the whole of Asia.

The Nordic Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine­s also lauded

Converge at the 2021 Nordic Sustainabi­lity Awards last March. Converge was named the chamber’s Growth Business Partner of the Year, owing to

the company’s momentous revenue and employment growth.
