The manufacturing sector continues to play a key role in the Philippine economy, contributing nearly 19% of GDP in 2022 and employing around 7% of the workforce. [1] Recent data also shows the industry maintaining strong momentum, with output rising by 4.9% in May 2025, marking its highest growth in ten months. [2]
For facilities in manufacturing and heavy industries—such as power plants, processing plants, and large-scale factories—uninterrupted operations are critical. This makes reliable electrical distribution systems essential. GEMCOR serves as the backbone of these systems, ensuring power is delivered safely and efficiently across machines and production lines.
GEMCOR: Powering Philippine Industries
As the country’s manufacturing and heavy industries continue to expand, GEMCOR is poised to meet the growing demand for reliable power distribution. With proven capabilities in design, fabrication, and engineering support, GEMCOR panelboards are a trusted solution for facilities that cannot afford downtime.
From large factories to heavy industrial plants, GEMCOR ensures that power systems remain strong, safe, and ready for the future.
Supporting Industry Growth in the Philippines
Industrial expansion continues to drive demand for electrical infrastructure. In the first half of 2025 alone, the Board of Investments (BOI) approved more than ₱15 billion worth of new manufacturing projects, expected to generate over 5,000 jobs. [3] In June 2025, the manufacturing sector saw an average capacity utilization rate of 76.6%, with several divisions—like machinery repair, tobacco, and beverages—operating above 81%. [4]
These figures highlight the need for reliable electrical systems to keep operations efficient and uninterrupted. GEMCOR panelboards provide the durability, flexibility, and safety needed to support this growth.
