1946

The seed of a future leader was sown.  Antonio C. Delgado, undaunted by the devastation of the last World War, set forth to pioneer the first floating fuel and water stations, triggering the start of a series of “firsts” in water transport service.

Together with brothers Jose and Francisco, Antonio introduced an innovative and enterprising concept called “Caltex Floating Station,” which provided a more systematic method of servicing the fuel and water ships docked in Manila Bay.

 

1949

A new company called Delgado Brothers, Incorporated, or DELBROS was established.

1950’s

DELBROS was awarded the right to operate the Port of Manila Arrastre service. Significantly, it was also at this time that the company introduced the “pallet system” which finally mechanized operations in the Port of Manila. The country’s first Professional Overseas Removals and Household Moving service was made available by DELBROS.

 

 

DELBROS, in consonance with its commitment to provide the ultimate in customer service, values its workers to the hilt.  Always believing in its people as the living dynamo of the DELBROS total machinery.  As a result, the company was vested with the distinctive “Employer of the Year” award in 1954.

DELBROS’s introduction of containerization elevated the quality of international cargo handling in the Philippines. Within this decade, the company established another first: the first five star hotel in the country, The Manila Hilton.

1970’s

This period of nationwide political, social and economic turmoil failed to slow down DELBROS’ steady expansion. It went on to build the largest fully integrated transportation company in the Philippines, offering air, land and sea freight forwarding service. During the Vietnam War, DELBROS was also the country’s largest military mover.

1980’s

DELBROS has become the Total Transportation Company. The multi-modal concept, which it pioneered, offered door-to-door service for cargo shipments — from small letter envelopes to heavy machinery. The service capabilities of the company went nationwide with the opening of DELBROS offices in major provincial capitals around the country.

1990’s

DELBROS built strong partnerships with local and global partners such as United Parcel Services (UPS) and Delbros Waterfront Leasing Co., Inc. (DELWATER). These partnerships gave DELBROS the opportunity to advance towards globalization.
