Central Lumber Corporation (CLC) is a company with a history of more than 70 years. Starting out in 1946 as a purely lumber company in Cebu, CLC today transacts businesses throughout the Philippines. As a manufacturer, importer, distributor, and retailer, CLC is driven by its core purpose of taking the lead in providing innovative products for the homes of the future.
Cesar C. Sinco, the patriarch of CLC, laid out what would be the basic path of CLC: “If given a choice between two businesses, one passive and other one active, both earning the same profit, choose the one that creates jobs.” As such, CLC has over 400 employees working together, driven by its core values of integrity, respect, passion for work, continuous improvement, and expertise in areas where it competes.
Today, CLC conducts business via its retail branches in Cebu and its distribution network in Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. CLC manufactures its own line of timber products with 100% of its raw materials imported from other countries. Imported timber is sourced from renewable resources like plantation-grown timber forests. CLC markets and distributes up to 1,000 products of brands such as Armourwood, Oregon Frames, Accoya, CLC Moulding, CLC Doors, White Shield, Gardner, and VT Metals. CLC is the no. 1 treated lumber supplier, the no. 1 fiber cement wood supplier, and the no. 2 fiber cement board supplier in the country.
CLC has 2 offices, one in Manila and one in Cebu.
