MANILA, Philippines – Ecolab Philippines, Inc. recently moved to its new head office located at the 18th floor, W Fifth Avenue Building, 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City.
Called “One Manila,” the sleek and contemporary 1,367-sqm office space serves as the new headquarters of Ecolab Philippines, Inc. and Nalco Philippines, Inc., which is now part of Ecolab.
In December 2011, Ecolab announced the merger with Nalco that resulted in the birth of a formidable US$13 billion global entity with some 45,000 employees in 171 countries with businesses in water, hygiene, sanitation and energy. Both companies combined under the name Ecolab.
The inauguration of the new corporate office was led by Mike Murphy, Ecolab general manager and market head, Southeast Asia and Korea, and Hermie Limbo, general manager and country director for Ecolab and Nalco Philippines. They were joined by members of the company’s management committee, managers and employees from different departments, including their manufacturing plant personnel from Binan and Calamba, Laguna.
“Our move to our new corporate address as ‘One Manila’ is expected to strengthen the synergy of the two companies,” says Limbo. “It will definitely result in more efficient operations and increased productivity with the ultimate goal of satisfying our customers. We take pride in what we do as One Ecolab: protecting people and what’s vital to life: safe food, clean water, abundant energy and healthy environments.”
Founded in 1923, Ecolab is the leading global developer and marketer of premium cleaning and sanitizing products and services in the hospitality, institutional and industrial markets. Its customers include many hotels and restaurants worldwide.
