The Dasmariñas Industrial
and Steelworks Corporation (DISC) is the principal steel fabrication
arm of the PNCC. Established in 1973 under the Systems Construction
Group (SCG) of the company, its main industry was to manufacture
prefabricated steel structures for the various construction projects
of PNCC.
SCG
marketed its products under the label "Systemas" and remarkably
succeeded in helping PNCC reduce construction costs, accelerate
completion dates and improve over-all product quality. In 1979,
to further promote and enhance its merchandise, the PNCC Management
decided to separate SCG from the mother company to become a totally
independent enterprise and named it Dasmariñas Steelworks
Corporation (DSC). The name was supposedly derived from the name
of the place where the new company was primarily intended to be
located -- in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
Meanwhile,
on that same year, another subsidiary was established by PNCC, the
Dasmariñas Industrial Corporation (DIC), which was a spin-off
from the Special Operations Group of the PNCC. This new firm handled
the manufacturing, assembly and repowering of heavy construction
equipment.
In
1981, in response to the country's efforts to upgrade the local
steel fabrication industry, DIS and DIC were merged and recognized
to become what is now known as the Dasmariñas Industrial
and Steelworks Corporation or DISC. It holds office at the PNCC
complex in Mandaluyong City and has a manufacturing and fabrication
plant in Iligan City.
These
days, DISC continues to support the country's industrial program
by supplying the structural steel requirements of the nation. It
offers services that cover fabrication and erection of necessary
structural steels. It also undertakes design and detailed engineering
works; sandblasting and painting; and rebar works as well as dismantling
and demolition of existing facilities.
