A.W.I., SCOTTSDALE CORP. BRINGS DAM EASY IN THE PHILIPPINES

ALL Weather Industries (AWI), the Irish-owned company founded in 2017; and maker of the revolutionary Dam Easy flood-protection barriers, recently partnered with Scottsdale Corp. to launch its product in the Philippines. Since its launch in Ireland, it almost immediately took its domestic market by storm, especially since the country and its neighboring European countries are prone to floods.

“In 2018 our biggest market was the US [United States] with about 60/40 split of commercial to residential although, [currently,] our No. 1 city in the world is Hong Kong, which a 50/50 split. This year the mix is changing as we expand. Mainland Europe is becoming very strong and so is the Middle East,” AWI Chief Executive Officer and cofounder Brian Mooney revealed.

Today the Dam Easy is now sold in 28 countries through 21 distribution partners and also available online. In the Philippines Scottsdale Corp. is the sole distributor Easy Dam in the Philippines. Both Mooney and Scottsdale President Cheriza Manalang are one in saying that the Philippines is an ideal market for Dam Easy flood barriers.

“The Philippines is at risk for disasters, including floods and typhoons. There are numerous typhoons make landfall here every year.” Manalang noted.

And it’s not just households in residential areas that stand to benefit from Dam Easy flood barriers. Data from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters of Belgium revealed that, in 2015 alone, the Philippines experienced a staggering P28.43 billion in economic losses due to flooding. “More and more companies are realizing the considerable losses they incur when their establishments are flooded,” Manalag said.

Manalang added that Scottsdale’s growing clientele now includes commercial establishments. “We are talking to financial institutions and studying other means, in which we can bring Dam Easy flood barriers to more homes and business establishments,” Manalang disclosed.
