Reinforcing steel bars produced in SteelAsia mills in Calaca City, Batangas; Davao City; and Compostela, Cebu are now certified under Australian and New Zealand standards (AS/NZS 4671:2019) through the Australasian Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steels (ACRS).

After getting certifications for countries that follow British and Singapore standards, this is the latest one that SteelAsia received from a foreign authority—proving our commitment to producing quality steel products, and opening up more opportunities for SteelAsia to export Filipino-made steel.

Thirty trainees of SteelAsia Academy recently completed the training center’s program on steel mill operations, making them the tenth batch of graduates since 2023.

The latest batch of graduates—which includes 15 members of the Dumagat Remontado indigenous groups from Rizal and Quezon provinces and 15 out-of-school youths from Batangas province—were awarded their certificates of completion in a ceremony held last October 14.

Located in a 2.1 hectare compound in Brgy. Madalunot, Calaca City, Batangas, the SteelAsia Academy was established as a copy of the tech-vocational school of the German steel company Badische Stahl Engineering. It offers a tuition-free, five-month program on specialized technical skills for operating steel mill equipment and machinery. Along with values formation, the program has classroom, laboratory, and on-the-job mediums of learning. The Academy also offers free board and lodging, uniforms, and a living allowance for trainees. Completion of the program guarantees employment in SteelAsia.

Congratulations to the graduates!

SteelAsia’s commitment to promoting resilience is two-fold: ensuring our products are of certified world-class quality, and collaborating with stakeholders on initiatives promoting disaster risk mitigation and reduction.

This year’s theme of "Resilience starts at home” is timely for the country and the local steel industry, as we remain committed to keeping Filipinos safe and resilient in their homes and communities.

The Philippine Board of Investments recently visited the construction site of SteelAsia Lemery and the SteelAsia Academy, both in Batangas province.

Congratulations to SEAISI for the successful conduct of the 2nd ASEAN Policymakers Conference on Steel and the 2026 ASEAN Iron & Steel Forum: Sustainability and Construction!

Thanks to your commitment to strengthening regional partnerships within the industry, SteelAsia was able to forge new friendships and reinvigorate lasting ones during this three-day event.

We were able to gain new insights on the opportunities and challenges we all face in the region, as well as share what the future holds as we build the Philippine steel industry.

What made the event special was the support our industry has earned from the participation of government stakeholders such as the National Security Council of the Philippines, DTI Philippines , DOST MIRDC , and the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Maraming salamat!
