MANILA, Philippines - A lot of Filipino engineers go abroad to look for greener pastures.
As they work abroad, the executives of these foreign companies had seen how good Filipinos are in their work, and even admire their work ethics.
Ambitech executive director Allan Koenig even enumerated the qualities he admire inFilipino employees, who he said are “loyal, hard working, and committed to their work.â€
This is the reason why Ambitech decided to expand their company here in the Philippines, which they named Ambitech Asia.
According to Ambitech’s Vice President of Business Development Troy Kemp, Ambitech Asia is a “free-standing company†and “not a branch but partnership with local engineers.â€
The idea to put up an office here in the Philippines to reach other Asian countries started when local brand Mama Sita approached Ambitech for their new food plant.
Combined with the country’s increasing need for engineering service outsourcing, this is a good time for them to enter the Philippines.
According to Ambitech Asia General Manager Mark Sandoval, aside from aiming to be a “one-stop shop†that provides advance engineering technologies and skilled engineers, they would also like for “Filipino engineers now have the opportunity to be trained, to have world class exposure and the Filipino engineer doesn’t have to go out of Philippines to have such job.â€
Sandoval added that their company doesn’t focus on targeting big clients, but is “concerned about creating long-term relationships and serving our clients.â€
Ambitech Asia provides engineering services and engineers that focus on consumer products, food and beverages, plant design, chemicals and petrochemicals, energy, gas processing, petroleum refining and industrial facilities.
Through Ambitech Asia’s opening here in the Philippines, they made sure that they’re not only after expanding their company but also helping and training Filipino engineers to become world-class and be known worldwide, without leaving their country.
