Brief History of Gladstone Commercial
Established in February 1979 by Engr. Eliseo C. Estrella, Gladstone
Commercial was initially engaged in the supply of Steel Pipes and
Fittings as well as the appurtenances for water, oil and gas pipelines.
After achieving a sizeable share of the market, coupled with the
company’s desire to maintain the quality of its product, Gladstone
Commercial started the fabrication and manufacture of various sizes
of fittings from its own plant. This resulted in significant saving
to its customers who were dependent on foreign suppliers.
Seizing the opportunities presented by the telecommunication boom
in the mid eighties, the company extended its line of business to
the fabrication of Steel Trusses, and the fabrication and erection
of Telecommunication Towers. Gladstone Commercial caught the eye
of many business leaders because of its vision, innovation and its
direct no-nonsense approach to satisfying market needs.
The late eighties brought forth new sets of problem for the local
economy i.e. the dwindling supply of potable water and local demand
for safe, reliable water source. The company once again responded
by the addition of the manufacture and installation of Elevated
Water Tanks and Ground Steel Reservoirs in its product line.
In 1990, Gladstone Commercial was awarded the manufacturing rights
and distributorship of Aids to Navigation by Ryokusei Corporation,
a company based in Japan. As the pioneer and premier manufacturer
of steel buoys in the Philippines, Gladstone Commercial gained international
notoriety with contracts awarded by both government and non-government
entities all over the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
Gladstone Commercial is accredited by the Philippine Coast
Guards (PCG), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Manila Water Company
Inc. (MWSI), Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI) and Local Water
Utility Administration (LWUA).
