UNION GALVASTEEL CORPORATION (UGC) started as the Union Steel Plant

Division of BACNOTAN CEMENT INDUSTRIES, INC. (Bacnotan), a pioneer in the Philippine
Cement Industry and commenced commercial operations in 1963 with a galvanizing plant in
Poro, San Fernando, La Union for the manufacture of Galvanized Iron (GI) sheets. It
subsequently expanded operations with galvanizing plants in Ilang, Davao City in 1968 and in
Calamba, Laguna in 1990. The division was spun off in 1993 as a separate business unit and
incorporated as BACNOTAN STEEL CORPORATION. The company in 1995 established a
modern Continuous Galvanizing Line and a Color Coating Line for the manufacture of prepainted
galvanized steel coils in Calamba, Laguna.
In June 2000, the company was renamed U N I O N G A L V A S T E E L C O R P O
R A T I O N, a name that identifies its core business and brings Union Galvasteel as a leading
brand of galvanized and prepainted steel roofing products in the market.
Today, UNION GALVASTEEL CORPORATION is the market leader in the
manufacture and distribution of prepainted galvanized roofing and other galvanized steel products
such as steel decking, building systems components and insulated panels for commercial,
industrial, and residential applications. The company has the largest and most diversified
distribution network in the industry, with rollforming plants, warehouses and sales offices in
strategic locations throughout the country.
The company is owned by PHINMA CORPORATION, a highly diversified holding
company with interests in enterprises involved in housing, steel roofing products, energy,
education, and business process outsourcing.
PHINMA was founded in 1956 by a group of prominent businessmen and industrialists led by
Amb. Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr., Don Filemon C. Rodriguez, and Mr. Ernesto O. Escaler.

Union Galvasteel Corporation was the first in the Philippine

galvanizing industry to receive the ISO 9001:1994 certification. This
quality management system is for the scope of activities in the
manufacture, sales and distribution of galvanized and prepainted coils
and sheets. The company has continued to improve its facilities,
manpower, systems and procedures, and has since upgraded to the
current ISO 9001:2008 version.
ISO 14001:2004 is an Environmental Management System which
was pursued by the company in 2008 as a measure of reducing the
adverse environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations and as
a commitment for a higher level of performance over regulatory
standards for a sustainable environment.
The company went even further by obtaining an ISO Certification
for an INTEGRATED QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM under ISO 14001:2004. This system is
geared toward operational efficiency leading to the reduction of waste
