About Puyat Steel Corporation

Puyat Steel Corporation was established in 1956 as a division of Gonzalo Puyat and Sons, Inc. 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 achievements as pioneer industrialist. The award is the highest decoration the Philippine government bestows on its citizen.

Puyat Steel Corporation, in its continued commitment to innovation, has established the first-ever-state-of-the-art continuous galvanizing line. This new plant was allowed the company to offer superior quality galvanized sheet and coils using the modern technology of a non-oxidizing furnace.
