Company History
PEOTRACO INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED, started in 1924 as People's Trading Company, a company founded by Mr. Kaw Tek. It was engaged in trading sugar, copra and other commodities. The company later ventured into the manufacture of confectioner's sugar and became known for its flagship brand PEOTRACO in the green box.
After World War II, the company's import business and commodity trading flourished. The founder's son, Mr. John C. Kaw took management control of Peotraco at the age of 21 on January 1, 1961 with the infusion of fresh capital. In 1995, Mr. Kaw initiated a company wide re-organization. Since then, Peotraco has transformed into a dynamic company that continues to renew itself. It has successfully launched a number of new product lines and incorporated it into the confectionery business.
On December 2000, Peotraco Industries, Incorporated passed the strict audit of TUV Product Service and was ISO 9002 certified. It attained certification for ISO 9001:2000 on December 2003. It was chosen as the Number 1 Powder Sugar Manufacturer in the 2004 National Shoppers' Choice Annual Awards.
Today, Peotraco Industries Incorporated, a company rich in history, yet guided by the vision of management, treasures the old values of thrift, discipline and dedication while stands by its commitment to quality and customer service. The company carries on this unbroken tradition of strict adherence to high quality standards that made PEOTRACO a by-word for excellence through the years.
