COMPANY OVERVIEW
Ada Manufacturing Corporation (ADAMCO) is a 100-percent Filipino owned company engaged in manufacturing and distributing agricultural equipment. It is part of the Ropali Group of Companies, which has a presence in banking, real estate and the motorcycle industry. ADAMCO began its business by manufacturing hand tractors in the 1970s as part of Ropali Trading until it was spun-off as an independent company on February 8, 1999. In 2010, the demand for rice combine harvesting equipment spurred a boom in the acceptance of modern agricultural technology in the Philippines, an event which led to the nationwide expansion of ADAMCO.
The use of rice combine harvesters helps the farmers maximize their earnings by decreasing harvesting losses and conversely, increasing their production yield, thus increasing their income without increasing their production area.
In 2014, the Ropali Group of Companies entered into a joint venture with Yanmar Corporation of Japan for the distribution of its own brand of rice combine harvester in the Philippines through ADAMCO's stores.
Today, ADAMCO is the largest dealer of Rice Combine Harvesters in the Philippines, with over 50% share of the units sold. It has over 30 branches and extension outlets across the Philippines. Its branches are located in: Ilocos Sur, Urdaneta, Naguillan, Abulug, Tuguegarao, Santiago, Solano, Prenza, Pulilan Bulacan, Munoz, Cabanatuan, San Leonardo, Tarlac, Quezon Province, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, Naga, Bacolod, Jaro Iloilo, Sara Iloilo, Palo Leyte, Ormoc Leyte, Davao, Koronadal, Bukidnon, Zamboanga, Bayugan, Abra, Ilocos Norte, Bohol, Antique, Tagum and Cotabato.
ADAMCO believes in making agriculture easy for the farmer by providing them access to modern agricultural machinery. It sells rice combine harvesters, four-wheel tractors, rice transplanters, rice and corn threshers, corn shellers, small gasoline and diesel engines, trailer beds, and other small farm equipment. ADAMCO also offers 100-percent genuine and complete spare parts of the equipment it sells.
