Chairman and CEO

This path to our goal is a difficult one, with SteelAsia in 2025 encountering challenges—some were unprecedented in our six decades of existence. While difficult, these challenges eventually turned out to be the validation the company is on the right path, and a beacon for cooperation with others who share our values and vision.

SteelAsia, as the country’s flagship steel manufacturer, remains on track in our growth strategy to help build the Philippine steel industry. With the dedication of our people and the support of key stakeholders, we are looking forward to milestones such as the upcoming SteelAsia Lemery steel sections mill. As the first of its kind in the country and the latest to produce green steel, the mill is significant not only to our business. Our aim is to grow as a company, as an industry, and as part of national development.

Let me take this opportunity to thank our long-time partners, employees, and new allies, with whom we are working together in securing the future of the next generation of Filipinos.
