ABOUT US

About Us

OUR STORY

In 1955, when the Philippines was experiencing economic prosperity, two separate companies with one common goal forged ties with each other. Andres Soriano Corporation (ANSCOR) and Phelps Dodge, based in the USA, had one shared vision: to provide the highest quality standards in electric wire and cable products.

Together, they formed Phelps Dodge Philippines, Inc.

Over the years, this shared goal transformed into a way of life both companies believe in and follow. A tradition of uncompromising quality, and a culture of innovation give Phelps Dodge Phil. an edge in serving customers: top-grade and world-class solutions that provide protection for decades.

Sixty years later, Phelps Dodge Phil. and ANSCOR carries on this commitment to people, and customers, continually building strong relationships, facilitating communication and information, and powering up the nation.

Corporate Social Responsibility

As Phelps Dodge Philippines Energy Products Corporation strives for innovation and safety as a company, we also traverse our commitment to a better quality of life by supporting various units in our community through various charitable activities and programs.

From sponsoring activities that go all the way to the barangay level to cooperative efforts in partnerships with various local institutions, PDE has reinforced housing developments for the poor by providing cable products and participating in community nutrition projects, community clinics, and income-generating activities. PDE is also a partner in the Gawad Kalinga (GK) projects, having donated TW wires to GK housing projects in Quezon and Bicol, helping make available to the various GK sites high-quality wires at special prices.

As the year 2020 became a year of challenges, some provinces also experienced one typhoon after another, ravaging the regions of Bicol and North and Central Luzon. These typhoons left millions of people affected and many without homes.

In this moment of need, PDE rose to the occasion by donating financial assistance to various partners who organized relief operations to the communities battered by the typhoons. It donated P500T to A. Soriano Foundation and participated in the relief operations in Cagayan organized by one of the Company’s dealers in North Luzon. The relief operations visited and distributed essential goods to different barangays in Cagayan, and PDE also donated 100 hygiene kits for 100 families in Bicol and another 100 kits for 100 families in Northern Luzon through Habitat for Humanity, amounting to P1.77M.

For the long-term, the Company is also looking at supporting Habitat for Humanity’s housing projects in the same areas.
