Hey yah Guys and Gals! What’s up for the day? Me, just doing the
usual daily work routine – home-office-eat-work-eat again-work-finally going
home! That’s the normal day for me lots of eating that’s why I have a double
chin. My goodness, can’t stop eating because most of the time it’s for FREE!
Who can say NO to blessings? Meanwhile, I have attended an event last week and
this time it was for our home needs. This event was way so perfect in timing because
I am planning to build a house soon and I am starting to design the layout. So
here we go.. One of the components for the finishing touches of our house is
the tile. Yes, most of the house nowadays, uses tile for almost 1/3 of their house.
So, it seems that tile is already a need to beautify our home. Most of the
trusted brand of the tile is Mariwasa. Yeah I know, it’s a bit pricey
compared to some brand available in the market but boy, the quality they have
is really worth it.
Mariwasa Siam Ceramics, Inc., the leading tile manufacturing
company in the Philippines for over forty years, continues to innovate and
strengthen the local tile standards in the country. Just a little information about
them, Mariwasa Siam Ceramics, Inc. (Mariwasa), the biggest ceramic tile
manufacturing company in the Philippines, is a joint venture between the
Coseteng Group and the Siam Cement Group (SCG) of Thailand. The partnership was forged more than fifteen
years ago in 1993 with the then Mariwasa Manufacturing, Inc. (MMI).
MMI was established in 1966 and gained foothold in the Philippine
market. From an initial daily capacity
of 12,000 square meters per day, it expanded and pursued design and technological
breakthroughs to keep pace with other manufacturers in the region. After 30 years in operation, MMI put up
another tile plant, MSCI, as part of its expansion program. MSCI began its operations in 1997. In 2001, all operations of MMI were consolidated
under MSCI.
The company’s plant site is located on a sprawling 24-hectare land
in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. The plant started with an initial capacity of 12,000
square meters per day. With the consolidation of all MMI operations, it had
expanded its plant capacity to 30,000 square meters per day. It has almost 1,000 employees. It also
maintains office in Taguig at 8/F Fort Legend Towers, 3rd Ave.
cor. 31st St., Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City for its sales and
marketing operations.
Plans for the year include the launching of safety and
scratch-free tiles in the market, and a new design series to provide customers
with more selections in patterns, color, and texture for the home and
construction.
And of course if we talk about Quality Standard, Mariwasa had it
all, simply because…
Each of the company’s product(s) is a mark of quality and adheres
to its tagline “uncompromising quality”.
It bears the PS mark seal having passed the high quality standard of the
Department of Trade and Industry - Philippines’ Bureau of Product
Standards.
To ensure customer satisfaction, the company adapted Total Quality
Management (TQM) and implemented Total Participative Management (TPM). As a testimony of the company’s commitment to
quality, MSCI was awarded the PQA (Philippine Quality Award) Recognition for
Commitment to Quality last January 27, 2011 in Malacanang. The PQA is the highest level of national
recognition for exemplary organizational performance and is the counter part of
the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award of the United States.
MSCI also boasts of being an ISO certified company having been
given accreditation for ISO 9002
in 1998 and ISO 9001 (version 2000) in 2001. In December 2010, the company has been
certified in the Integrated Management System (IMS) for its three (3)
standards, namely: ISO-9001 (version 2008), ISO 14001:2004 for its
environmental management system and OHSAS 18001:2007 for its occupational health
and safety management system by the Certification International Philippines,
Inc.
That’s it! Well, am hoping that you will be smarter in choosing
our home tile needs. Furthermore, Mariwasa launched new products – Safety, Scratch-Free
and High Definition Tiles. This tile has high resistance to scratch – making them
suitable for medium to high traffic areas. The tiles make use of anti-slip
technology, which reduces the risk of accidents and falls. Safety tiles are
also easy-to-clean. To suit the market’s discriminating taste in terms of
aesthetics, high definition tiles will be introduced, with sharper and more
vivid designs. “We try to make sure that we serve the demands of our market in
full capacity, whether aesthetically or industrially,” says Kongrit. “We don’t
just offer products. We offer better living solutions to the serve the growing
demands of the market,” he added. (Suggested Retail Price P50 +++)
In 2009, Mariwasa was awarded the Hall of Fame Award from the
Department of Energy’s Don Emilio Abello Energy Efficiency Award, and the Blue
Sky Award for renewable energy utilization in the use of rice husks to create
sustainable energy and raw materials.
Mariwasa is the first ceramic tile company to be granted the
license to use the environmental seal of Green Choice Philippines, the national
eco-labeling program in the country. Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) Projects, includes tree planting and nurturing
programs, Gawad Kalinga (house-building project) volunteer program, scholarship
programs, and a continued support of local community programs.
“To increase our competitive advantage over other imported tiles,
we invest in continuous research and development programs to offer world-class
ceramic tiles with uncompromising quality,” he says. A very thorough quality
assurance team keeps the standards of the products.
“The key to success in
business is to challenge and overcome one’s self,” says Kongrit.
Now, these safety and beautiful tiles are now included in my house
plan. ツ
