Regenerative and Sustainable

First Philec has been a pioneer and leader in electrical transformer solutions in the Philippines for over 50 years. However, its future goes beyond just transformers as it expands its core business, develops smart energy platforms and invests in energy storage. With all of this, First Philec is well positioned to make the pivot towards becoming a Sustainable Energy Solutions Business.

Embedded into its culture is a regenerative and sustainable way of doing business. This includes its entire supply chain, from the purchase of raw materials, manufacturing, delivery of products and up to the end of our product life cycle.

What We Believe In

We believe that doing good and making economic sense are not mutually exclusive to each other, and so we find opportunities in which we can reduce emissions while maintaining the lowest total owning cost.

We are proud to say that we are the largest amorphous transformer manufacturer in South-East Asia where use of one 50 kilo-volt-amperes transformer reduces carbon emissions equivalent to more than what 20 acacia trees absorb in a year.

We have been providing the market with highly energy efficient products that are not carbon-intensive, and in fact, help lessen carbon emissions from the grid.
