Partnership reaps success

A six-year partnership between MGS Corp., a leading diversified construction firm, and Stone 2000, an architectural and finishing dealership, has become a successful team-up strengthening the business performance of both partners in the highly competitive construction supply sector.

MGS has a product range that includes ready mix, the manufacture of premium homebuilding products, housing construction, land development, trading and distribution.

For its part, Stone 2000 is a dealership network with seven stores in Metro Manila, two showrooms in the Alabang and Ortigas Home Depots, and a shop in the CALABARZON area. Over the past 20 years, Stone 2000 has grown from a simple marble and stone store, into a dealer of building stones and blocks in 1996, to its current specialization in architectural and finishing product lines since 1999.

According to Stone’s chief operating officer Naps Algenio, in the year 2000 the company started distributing MGS stone pavers, as well as providing installation and maintenance services for these products.

"Our collaboration with MGS has strengthened our distribution network and increased the volume of our prospective clients, who are mostly homeowners and commercial establishments," says the Stone 2000 executive.

He adds that his company has chosen to carry stone pavers by MGS because of the latter’s quality standards and efficiency in meeting the demands of clients. MGS pavers are the result of process innovations involving patented technology for concrete masonry production from BESSER, Inc. based in the United States. MGS pavers and other lines are known for superiority and strength as construction materials in the middle to upscale market for premium homebuilding products. These products are often preferred for use in small to large residential, commercial, institutional, industrial and special projects, by leading developers, architects and contractors.

Algenio says MGS pavers are noted for their aesthetic and functional applications, adding value to construction projects with their durability, looks and maintenance qualities. He says that MGS pavers at Stone 2000 which are most saleable are the Zigzag and Hispania designs, in colors of terra cotta, gray, yellow and green. These pavers are widely used in the construction of homes and commercial centers.
