On the Cusp of a Great Transformation

Among all the successful conglomerates in the Philippines, the Aboitiz Group undoubtedly has one of the richest histories, operating for over a century and expanding successfully from an abaca trading and general merchandise business in the late 1800s to one of the largest diversified firms in the country today.

Aboitiz is now well underway on its ‘Great Transformation’, a bold corporate move to put innovation at the forefront of its growth strategy and will usher the firm’s transition to becoming a ‘techglomerate’, or a conglomerate that heavily integrates technology and design thinking in all its production, services, and processes.
