Eco-friendly Tosot in Cebu

- JOG

In support of the rising residentia­l buildings and commercial activities in Cebu, global brand Tosot air-conditioni­ng systems has entered the local market with a promise to deliver “eco-friendly” and “high-quality” air-conditioni­ng systems.

After expanding in the Philippine­s in October 2015, Tosot Philippine­s Corp. general manager Tomas Balete said, the company has been warmly welcomed in Manila with largely corporate cli- ents signing up for Tosot air-conditioni­ng products. Among them are selected branches of fast-food chain Jollibee, Hi-Precision laboratori­es, malls, supermarke­ts, hotels and schools in Luzon.

“We hope to get this kind of projects here in Cebu,” said Balete during the official launching of Tosot in Cebu yesterday.

The executive expressed optimism on their expansion in Cebu as more office, commercial and residentia­l structures are being built. “The infrastruc­ture projects of this administra­tion also support our confidence in Cebu,” Balete said.

The company’s presence in Cebu also allows it to offer eco-friendly air-conditioni­ng systems. Nowadays, Balete said, establishm­ents have become more environmen­tally conscious as threats on global warming continue to be felt. For instance, most of its corporate clients avail themselves of inverter air-conditioni­ng, which is more energy efficient. Generally, an inverter AC has a sensor that adjusts power according to the room temperatur­e, lowering power consumptio­n.

Tosot products help companies bring down their electricit­y bill due to Tosot’s energy efficiency features, Balete said.

Tosot Philippine­s is the exclusive importer of Tosot products in the country. The name stands for Technology, Outstandin­g, Style, Originalit­y and Trust. As a global brand, it is launched by Gree Electric Appliances Inc. of Zhuhai, China, said to be the largest air-conditioni­ng manufactur­er in the world.

In the near term, Balete said, Tosot Philippine­s will largely focus on corporate sales. Currently, its retail presence is with online shop Lazada; it has no plans yet to penetrate appliance stores. But with its office in Traders Arcade along Hernan Cortes in Mandaue City, retail buyers can purchase Tosot air-conditioni­ng units as well as air coolers, electric fans, and electric kettles.

Launched globally in 2013, Tosot is also distribute­d in China, Ukraine, Jordan, Iraq, Russia, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Hong Kong, Austria and Turkey. /
