📍 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.
On-site validation: Pio-ship team visiting key shipyards in Cebu.
Shipyard managers in Cebu and Manila demanded proof, not just promises. Recognizing the critical need for cost control, FUJI placed its technology directly into the hands of operators for rigorous testing.
We pitted FUJI's premium abrasives against established market incumbents (including Bosch and Tyrolit). The results were decisive:
| Product Tested | Performance Result |
|---|---|
| FUJI Super Tsurugi (105x1.0mm Ultra-Thin) |
✅ Faster Cutting Speed Significantly outperformed competitor equivalents in stainless steel formatting. |
| FUJI Super F2 (100x6.0mm Grinding) |
✅ Higher Removal Rate Sustained aggression without glazing, even under heavy load. |
The outcome? FUJI products consistently delivered at least a 30% increase in efficiency.
Visual Proof: FUJI discs (left) show significantly less wear after the same 3-minute cut duration.
Shipyards rely on two metrics: Speed (Labor Cost) and Lifespan (Consumable Cost). FUJI's Japanese engineering addresses both:
"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."
