In 1994, when there was not yet much development of industry and basic infrastructure in the Balamban area of Cebu Island, TSUNEISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES (CEBU) started developing land and constructing shipbuilding facilities. Today, 25 years later, the company has grown to become one of the largest shipbuilding factories in the Philippines, and has the capacity of building about 20 vessels a year, mainly 30,000-ton to 180,000-ton class bulk carriers. In his welcoming speech, THI President Akihiko Mishima spoke with both gratitude for the past and enthusiasm for the future in noting that \u201cWe have reached our 25th anniversary, thanks to the outstanding efforts and cooperation of our employees and the local community. The first bulk carrier was completed here in 1997, and since then a total of 278 ships have been built and the first 1,900 TEU container carrier was delivered this year. Even amidst intensifying competition in the global shipbuilding market, I remain confident that through strong teamwork among our many local employees and our staff from Japan, we can achieve high-quality shipbuilding that is responsive to increasingly diverse market needs. In addition, we will continue our support for the sustainable development of communities where our employees and their families reside. Going forward, THI will always seek to be a company that is highly valued by its customers, regional communities, and all of its employees.\u201d At the ceremony, attendees had a look back at THI\u2019s rise by viewing a video documenting the company\u2019s 25-year history. \u25a0About TSUNEISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES(CEBU), Inc.

Today, 25 years later, the company has grown to become one of the largest shipbuilding factories in the Philippines, and has the capacity of building about 20 vessels a year, mainly 30,000-ton to 180,000-ton class bulk carriers. In his welcoming speech, THI President Akihiko Mishima spoke with both gratitude for the past and enthusiasm for the future in noting that \u201cWe have reached our 25th anniversary, thanks to the outstanding efforts and cooperation of our employees and the local community. The first bulk carrier was completed here in 1997, and since then a total of 278 ships have been built and the first 1,900 TEU container carrier was delivered this year. Even amidst intensifying competition in the global shipbuilding market, I remain confident that through strong teamwork among our many local employees and our staff from Japan, we can achieve high-quality shipbuilding that is responsive to increasingly diverse market needs. In addition, we will continue our support for the sustainable development of communities where our employees and their families reside. Going forward, THI will always seek to be a company that is highly valued by its customers, regional communities, and all of its employees.\u201d At the ceremony, attendees had a look back at THI\u2019s rise by viewing a video documenting the company\u2019s 25-year history. \u25a0About TSUNEISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES(CEBU), Inc.
