WHO WE ARE

The Company

Incorporated in 2005, ACETC Inc. manufactures and markets a broad line of high quality Philippine handicrafts to meet the most discriminating requirements of consumer markets locally and internationally.

ACETC Incorporated was born from a family business (Ric Handicraft 1983-1995) and has a handicraft business experience for more than 10 years. When the export sector dwindled in 1993, the family took the option of truck surplus importation from Japan since Japan was the main export market we had that time. From export of handicraft the proponent eventually diversified business to trucking service and logistics for the next 10 years (1995 - present - Aptrans Distribution).

Currently, ACETC Inc. is aggresively getting the access to Philippine handicraft market by participating in the international exhibitions. Some as follows:

September 2005 - Premium 2005 - Dubai World Trade, Dubai, UAE
January 2006 - LA Sources - LA Convention Center, LA California, USA
August 2006 - Let's Go to the EX - Toronto, Canada
December 2006 - Buy Pinoy in Hawaii - Hawaii Convention Center, Honolulu
February 2007 - Ambiente, Frankfurt - Messe, Frankfurt, Germany

We are presently exporting these products to Hawaii, Italy, USA, Spain and with some initial negotiations still in process in some part of Europe and North America. With so much appreciation from the visitors of the shows because of the unique style, natural and indigenous materials which makes the products an environment friendly items and mostly the Filipino craftsmanship and ingenuity, there is a great potential for foreign market.

In Dubai, our lamp furnishings was chosen by the editor of Hotelier Middleeast magazine (December 2005 issue) a publication which circulates to all hotel and restaurant establishments in the gulf countries as one of the new items in the "Buyer's Guide - New Products"

As member of Philippine Chamber of Handicraft Exporters, Inc. and Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc., the company is getting its way to promoting the Philippine crafts.

One of the objectives of the company is to uplift the lives of craft workers in the countryside by way of marketing their craft to other countries. Export demand would mean increase in production.

Setting up import/export company in Toronto, Canada is a major breakthrough for the year 2007.

ACETC, Inc., is also a regular exhibitor in the local trade fairs. The company maintains a stall and showroom at Home Furnishing Village at Tiendesitas, Fontera Verde, Pasig City.
