📍 MANILA & CEBU, PHILIPPINES — July 2025

Following a highly successful showcase at Philmarine 2025, Japan's renowned abrasives manufacturer, FUJI Grinding Wheel, is officially marking its comprehensive entry into the Philippine market.

Partnering with local distributor Pio-ship Philippines, the team has moved swiftly to engage directly with the nation's vital shipbuilding industry. The goal? To prove tangible cost savings through live demonstrations.

Why Did FUJI Win? (Technical Insight)

Shipyards rely on two metrics: Speed (Labor Cost) and Lifespan (Consumable Cost). FUJI's Japanese engineering addresses both:

  • Advanced Grain Bonding: Maintains sharpness longer, reducing the need for operators to push hard (safety benefit).
  • Heat Dissipation: The structure runs cooler, preventing the metal from turning blue/burning, which saves post-process cleaning time.

"Seeing the FUJI Super Tsurugi outperform well-known brands by such a clear margin erased any doubts. Our clients instantly understood the real-world savings."
