The company has retained dealership of certain
products. Owing to its experience and strength in
sales and marketing, the company is the dealer
and/or distributor of many foreign-made equipment
and supplies for various industries.
Now on its 24th year, the company will continue
to provide quality and value products by anticipating
and innovating to serve the needs of the growing
mining, tunneling, and construction industries.
In 1983 the company
was renamed Supra
Systems (Phils)
Incorporated. With the
slowdown in mining
activities in the 1980's
due to depressed metal
prices, the company
focused on ground
support systems in order
to serve not only the
depressed mining
industry but the growing
tunneling and construction
industries in the country.
The company was organized in 1977 as
Supra Process and Engineering Supplies, Inc.
Its product line consisted of steel fabrication
and foundry products for the mining industry. It
was also a major distributor of various
equipment and supplies for the milling and
process industries.
The company started manufacturing Cemextra
grout capsules in 1983 and now it is the recognized
leader in rockbolting systems. All underground
mining companies and most tunneling projects in the
Philippines have used the system.
Since then the Cemextra factory has been
expanded to manufacture related products such as
shotcreting admixtures, cement additives, grouting
compounds, tile adhesives, etc.
Its design and engineering
capabilities and steel
fabrication facilities were
re-oriented towards steel
products for tunneling
and ground support
systems such as
rockbolts, rock anchors,
steel sets, concrete
forms, tunnel lining, etc.
