Philippine Belt Manufacturing Corporation (Philbelt) was established in 1971 to provide locally-manufactured rubber beltings. It was the first industrial belting company in the Philippines and is now considered as one of the largest producers of rubber belts in Southeast Asia.
​
Philbelt manufactures V-belts, fan belts, flat transmission belts and conveyor belts using Japanese Technology. It forged a licensing agreement with Bando Chemical Industries, Ltd. of Japan for the manufacture of V-belts and conveyor belts. As a result of this partnership, technology and facilities were upgraded. All Philbelt staff and employees were instilled with the awareness of quality and service to meet its clients' standard of excellence.
​
This foresight was rewarded with solid relationships worldwide as it started to export in 1986 to the U.S.A. and the major countries in Asia. From 1986 to present, a dramatic increase in Philbelt exports has been noted ever since it pursued an export-oriented marketing program.
