Our History

Decades of Engineering Excellence and Trusted Service

1976

Foundation of KITCI

KENT INTERNATIONAL TRADING CO., INC. (KITCI) was established on March 10, 1976, by Mr. Edward Kawpeng in Quiapo, Manila. The company began operations by importing and distributing pioneering engineering materials such as industrial gaskets and insulation products for industrial applications, marking the start of KITCI’s commitment to delivering high-quality engineering solutions in the Philippines.

1980s–2000s

Expansion of Product Solutions

As industry demands evolved, KITCI expanded its supply chain and product offerings to support modern construction and engineering requirements. The company introduced raised flooring systems, passive fire protection materials, and advanced insulation solutions, strengthening its reputation as a reliable partner for both industrial and architectural sectors.

Transition into Integrated Services

In 2015, KITCI expanded beyond material supply and introduced service-based solutions that complemented its world-class products. The company began offering supply and installation of refractory systems for industrial applications while simultaneously providing architectural building fit-out services. This milestone marked KITCI’s transformation into a comprehensive engineering and construction solutions provider.

2017–2022

Major Project Growth

During this period, KITCI successfully delivered projects across commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors. The company completed acoustic insulation installations for major developments, cinema acoustic systems, raised flooring installations for industrial facilities, and passive fire protection solutions for high-rise buildings, demonstrating its growing technical expertise and nationwide reach.
