The first Atlas Copco High-pressure Portable Engine-driven Compressor Y1300 in the Philippine market
The first ever Atlas Copco portable engine driven compressor acquired in the Philippine market was by ABI Interior Hardware, a company based in Ozamis City, Misamis Occidental.
ABI Interior Hardware was established in 2001 at Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental with its main office at Pagadian City, Zamboanga Del Sur, initially established in 1997 under the name Alvin Bazaar Incorporated with business focused in hardware and paint industry. In 2002, it diversified its business and opened the Executive Hotel in Ozamiz City, with a clear vision to provide comfort and service to guests at an affordable price. It expanded in 2006 and 2011 when the company acquired a property in Cagayan de Oro City and Cebu City, respectively, and opened the Executive Pension and Food House. It was in 2007 when ABI Interior Hardware ventured into water-well drilling services with nine units of drilling rigs at present.
In 2019, with the mission to provide quality industrial, commercial, and residential water-well drilling services as well as pump and well-system repairs to ensure customer satisfaction, ABI Interior Hardware expanded their drilling services with percussion method. It is during this time that the owner, Mr. Mervin Ang, searched for a specific machine that can satisfy their requirements for the pneumatic and hammer drilling applications – a 1300-CFM, 35-bar portable engine-driven compressor. Atlas Copco’s high-pressure portable engine-driven compressor model Y1300 is the perfect candidate for such requirements.
In the height of the pandemic situation in the country in 2020, the first ever Y1300 in the Philippine market was delivered to Misamis Occidental with direct support from Mr. Junior Mangatong, Atlas Copco Philippines’ Product Engineer in Mindanao. When asked about why they chose Atlas Copco for their biggest project, Mr. Mervin Ang said, “The Atlas Copco Y1300 really boosted our productivity as we can finish a project within two months, unlike with our previous percussion method that normally takes us six months to finish. The advantages are not only directly correlated to financial savings, but also to customer satisfaction as we can fulfill our commitment and deliver above expectations.” More than the features and benefits the equipment can provide, Mr. Ang also elaborated that the technical expertise and 24-hour service hotline are keys in the decision of choosing Atlas Copco. “Machine has a good performance, easy to operate, has a good protection, and most of all why I chose Atlas Copco is the aftermarket support”, he added.
