Known for their strength, quality, and reliability, these brands have supported generations of Filipino builders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Concreat is more than a cement manufacturer. It is a partner in nation-building, and one that puts people, safety, and sustainability at the heart of every project. From investing in a new fleet of trucks for safer deliveries to supporting local communities through health and education initiatives, Concreat is helping build a safer and smarter Philippines, one project at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trusted heritage, stronger future<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Behind Concreat\u2019s solid foundation is a legacy of industry experience and innovation. Formerly known as Cemex Philippines, the company was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chp.com.ph\/press-release\/cemex-philippines-rebrands-to-concreat-holdings-philippines-following-sec-approval\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rebranded<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as Concreat Holdings Philippines (CHP) following its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chp.com.ph\/press-release\/consunji-group-finalizes-acquisition-of-majority-stake-in-cemex-holdings-philippines\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">acquisition by the Consunji Group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, one of the country\u2019s most respected names in construction and engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This new chapter combines the best of both worlds: the global cement expertise and the Consunji Group\u2019s legacy of local craftsmanship and reliability. The result? A Filipino-led company that continues to deliver world-class cement solutions while driving meaningful change in the communities it serves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through its flagship cement plants, namely Solid Cement in Antipolo, Rizal, and APO Cement in Naga, Cebu, Concreat continues to expand its capacity and reach. The new production line at the Solid Cement plant alone has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chp.com.ph\/press-release\/concreat-philippines-starts-new-cement-line-in-rizal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">boosted output by 26%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, ensuring a steady supply for the country\u2019s growing infrastructure needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cement that builds trust<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When people search for \u201cthe best cement in the Philippines\u201d, they\u2019re often looking for one thing: trust. They want a product that\u2019s strong and reliable. Concreat delivers exactly that through products made for performance, safety, and consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each of its brands is known for quality, consistency, and performance. Whether it\u2019s used for large-scale infrastructure or home construction, Concreat\u2019s cement ensures every structure stands firm, safe, and sustainable.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>APO Cement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This household name in Visayas and Mindanao offers cement variants designed for mega-structures and to reduce environmental impact.\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Rizal Cement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This blended cement has lower carbon footprint, engineered to meet modern building standards with reduced environmental impact. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Island Cement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The brand of choice for mega-structures, made for high-performance applications and highly engineered construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30381\" src=\"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Trucks-2-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>Delivering safely, efficiently, and sustainably<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Behind every reliable construction project is a supply chain that works just as hard. To keep up with rising demand while maintaining the highest safety standards, Concreat launched a fleet of 20 new trucks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each truck is equipped with modern features such as advanced braking systems, GPS tracking, and driver-assist technology, helping reduce risks on the road. Beyond efficiency, this upgrade also reflects Concreat\u2019s commitment to road safety both for its employees and the communities where it operates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By modernizing its logistics fleet, Concreat is improving its delivery performance and setting a higher industry standard for safety and reliability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forging stronger communities through CSR<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Concreat\u2019s commitment to nation-building goes beyond construction. The company actively supports local communities through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs that promote education, health, and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30382\" src=\"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1125\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3-75x100.jpg 75w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/happeningph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ARAL_PROGRAM_3-1068x1424.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/>Education for all: The Aral Tayo Antipolo Program<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Building smarter communities starts with empowering young minds. Concreat\u2019s literacy and livelihood initiative, the Aral Tayo Antipolo Program, supports over 360 learners from Grades 1 to 3 across nine public schools. In partnership with the City of Antipolo, the Department of Education, and Chalkboard, Inc., the program aims to strengthen early-grade literacy while providing meaningful work for local educators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Building responsibly for generations to come<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Concreat understands that progress should be fueled by responsible business practices. That\u2019s why it continues to invest in sustainable initiatives, from waste co-processing initiatives to partnerships with local governments for responsible waste management and clean-up drives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These efforts reduce landfill waste, minimize carbon emissions, and promote circularity within communities. By turning industrial waste into alternative fuel, Concreat transforms challenges into opportunities, leading the way to a more resilient Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Concreat difference<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether it\u2019s delivering cement safely through a modern truck fleet, uplifting communities through education and health programs, or pioneering sustainable practices, Concreat is redefining what it means to be a true partner in nation-building. Every home, road, or bridge built with Concreat is a step toward a safer, sustainable, and more resilient Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See what&#8217;s new in my latest release!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,18,20],"tags":[16823,16822,1453,13912,263,41],"class_list":["post-30377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-events","category-latest","category-special-feature","tag-aral-tayo-antipolo-program","tag-concreat","tag-construction","tag-corporate-social-responsibility-csr","tag-education","tag-happeningph"],"pageone_source":{"pageone_source":"Cris Maniago","author_name":"Camilo Mendoza Villanueva, Jr"},"_pageone_source":"Cris Maniago","zyndk8_nxtgen_metadata":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/30379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happeningph.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
