Company Overview and History
Benedicto Steel Corporation, established on March 6, 1969, continues a legacy of industrial ventures. Its origins trace back to Don Bernardo Benedicto's North Negros Sugar Company in 1929, followed by CLB Engineering & Supply, Inc. in 1960, organized by his son Ceferino L. Benedicto. The corporation operates three factories in Pasig City, East of Manila, and one in San Pedro, Laguna, South of Manila, maintaining a significant manufacturing footprint.
Products and Services
The company's core business focuses on manufacturing high carbon wire and rope, along with pre-stressed concrete wires and strands, which are also key export products. Benedicto Steel Corporation diversifies its offerings to include machinery and equipment, stainless steel, and aluminized sheets. A specialized service involves the fabrication of 'Viking Web Slings', known for their robust resistance to chemicals and oil, availability in various sizes, and custom-made options. These slings are crafted from high-tenacity materials, ensuring durability, cost-effectiveness, and excellent surface abrasion resistance through special treatment.
Additionally, the company supplies a range of chains, including heat-treated Grade 70 Transport Chains made from special high carbon steel, and Grade 80 Alloy Chains, specifically for overhead lifting. Proof Coil Chains (ASTM A 413-64) are also available. Benedicto Steel Corporation's wire ropes serve diverse applications, such as shovel and dragline hoist ropes, marine cargo runners, various logging operations (tractor logging, log yarder crane mainlines), and installations requiring high flexibility like overhead cranes and winches.
Quality and Safety Commitments
Emphasizing quality and safety, Benedicto Steel Corporation provides test certificates for products like its Grade 70 Transport Chains. 'Viking Web Slings' undergo thorough quality control, with a Safety Working Load (SWL) typically set at 1/5 of the ultimate breaking strength for a 1-ply sling. The company issues clear guidelines, specifying Grade 70 chains are not for overhead lifting, a task reserved solely for Grade 80 Alloy Chains. Customers are advised to select appropriate slings based on load weight and shape, understanding that a larger sling angle reduces the maximum working load. Positioning itself as a leader in logistics industry supply, the corporation highlights its dedication to reliable and safe industrial products.
