BUSINESS PROFILE
*Jan de Marcaida decided to venture into business as a service provider in 1997 after 10 years management experience with petroleum giant, Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. After managing Shells various businesses in petroleum supply and operations, marketing and logistics planning, he decided he could apply his management skills to service clients on the operations of their business at standards comparable to corporate multi-national level.
*Securing a contract with Shell to operate their North Mindanao LPG Depot, Archipelago Industrial Management Corp (AIMC) was the first third party contract arrangement in the industry. The company supplied the management and manpower to operate the highly hazardous plant for its principal. By 2003, AIMC expanded it’s operations to Davao, awarded the management and manpower supply contract for Shell’s LPG plant in Sasa and the only Bitumen (Asphalt) plant outside of Luzon located in Misamis Oriental.
*In 2015, recognizing AIMC’s expertise in providing the management and manpower skills required by petroleum terminals, Shell awarded the contract for general contractor to AIMC for the much anticipated North Mindanao Import Facility including all Shell Terminals in Mindanao. NMIF is the first major facility of any petroleum company in the Philippines outside of Luzon. NMIF directly imports finish products via mid-size international vessels and will distribute petroleum products in the south.
*On the first year of operation, AIMC was awarded the recognition for safe and quality operation, the first contractor to be given such commendation, surpassing audit ratings of other plants being operated by Shell. Since then, AIMC has been consistently recognized by Shell for quality and safety performances, having adapted international standards (ISO-9002) on it’s Health, Safety, Environment and Security (HSES) policies.
*Presently, Archipelago Industrial Management Corporation has expanded its businesses from management, consultancy and manpower service to road transport hauling, heavy equipment leasing, contract growing, recreational facilities, precision machining , import/export trading and real estate housing,
