The Philippines sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. Homes, offices, factories, and other facilities can be affected when earthquakes strike, and electrical systems and equipment are often the first to face problems. Power outages, short circuits, or equipment damage can disrupt operations and pose safety risks.
For over 14 years, GEMCOR has been manufacturing medium- to low-voltage panelboards and switchgears, focusing on quality, stability, and reliable performance even under challenging conditions.
Built Strong to Support Critical Infrastructure
GEMCOR panelboards are designed for durability and stability during earthquakes, built according to standard assembly procedures and using calibrated tools to ensure components are securely mounted.
- Reinforced frames and internal supports to prevent bending or damage to internal components.
- Secure mounting points to keep panels firmly in place.
- Trusted quality breakers and switchgear to ensure electricity continues to flow safely.
- Flexible cables and conduit arrangements that reduce stress on wiring during building movement.
All features are built according to Philippine standards, including compliance with the National Building Code of the Philippines (NBC) [1] and the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC). [2] The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) also emphasizes the importance of earthquake-ready infrastructure. [3]
Expertise in Local Manufacturing
GEMCOR’s panelboards are designed and produced locally in the Philippines. This allows our team to understand and address specific local conditions, such as humidity, heat, and seismic risk. Each panelboard undergoes strict quality checks, including testing for build strength, electrical performance, and safety compliance.
Our manufacturing process uses durable materials and established engineering practices to create panelboards that can withstand long-term operational demands while reducing the effects of seismic stress. From design to fabrication and installation, every step is carefully monitored to maintain high standards.

Panels That Support Your Operations
Every facility has unique requirements. GEMCOR works closely with engineers, consultants, and clients to ensure that each panelboard is custom-fitted to its location and intended use. Whether for industrial plants, commercial buildings, hospitals, or data centers, our panelboards provide reliable power distribution and enhanced safety, even in challenging earthquake-prone environments.
By focusing on proper assembly and up-to-standard practices that minimize the risk of seismic events, along with local manufacturing expertise and customized solutions, GEMCOR continues to deliver panelboards that Philippine industries can trust for stable, long-term electrical performance.
