DTI Visits the Puyat Steel Plant in Rosario Batangas

Our HeritagePuyat Steel was established in 1956. The company set-up the first galvanizing plant in the Philippines in answer to the need of the country for galvanized iron sheets to be used in construction, building and roofing materials.The pioneering efforts in sheet galvanizing and establishment of Puyat Steel not only contributed to the industrialization program of the Philippine government but also saved the country much needed foreign exchange. It was a dollar-saving industry which boosted the international dollar reserves of the country allowing the government to utilize the dollar savings in importing other necessary items for nation building.Puyat Steel’s founder, Gonzalo Puyat received from Philippine President Carlos P. Garcia in 1961 the Philippine Legion of Honor Award, for his achievements as pioneer industrialist. The award is the highest decoration the Philippine government bestows on its citizen.The company’s continuing commitment towards providing quality products and services did not go unnoticed as it was conferred the distinction of being the “Outstanding Manufacturer of G.I. & Prepainted G.I. Sheets and Coils for the year 2002-2004″ by the Consumer Union of the Philippines.
