Benguet Corporation - 120th Anniversary
Benguet Corporation was organized in 1903 to
engage in gold mining. It expanded first into chromite production in
1934 and then into copper production in 1971. The company’s gold
mining operations are conducted in the Philippines in Benguet and
Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte Provinces.
Chromite mining operation is in
Masinloc, Zambales Province and Copper mining operation was in San
Marcelino, Zambales Province.
In 1980, it pursued complementary business
strategies which brought itself into the fields of general
engineering and industrial construction, agriculture, shipping,
banking and finance, real estate- and forestry-based ventures.
Today, after
restructuring its diversified operations and consolidating its
resources following the turbulent financial climate of the 90’s, the
Company continues to evolve into a total natural resource
development company. Aside from its core business of mining and
mineral exploration, the Company and its subsidiaries are actively
engaged in water projects, real estate development, forest
management, and eco-tourism, while maintaining interests in allied
industries such as steel casting, trucking and warehousing, trading,
construction and engineering services.
