Our Mother Company
Universal Robina Corporation (URC) is the food company of the JG Summit Holdings, Inc. (JGSHI) Group of companies. JGSHI was incorporated in 1990 and listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange in August 1993. We believe that being publicly listed, we will live longer because public ownership, transparency, and accountability makes us more vigorous, lean, and competitive.
Universal Robina Corporation (URC) is one of the largest and leading branded consumer food and beverage product companies in the Philippines and has a significant and growing presence in the ASEAN markets. URC is among the Philippines’ pioneers in the food manufacturing business having been in operations in the country for 65 years. For several years now, our company has consistently ranked among the TOP 5 in the country’s TOP 1000 corporations.
Universal Robina Corporation (URC) traces its beginnings in 1954. At that time, Mr. John Gokongwei, Jr. did well as a trader. He had learned the trade when his father died before the Second World War. Mr. John worked hard during the conflict and postwar years, in order to prosper. However, while he thrived, he carefully examined his company and correctly predicted that trading would remain a low-margin business.
Mr. John decided to construct a corn milling plant to produce glucose and cornstarch. He named it Universal Corn Products (UCP), the first plant of the company that became the URC we know today.
