Our History
JG Summit started in 1957 when Universal Corn Products, Inc. was established to operate a cornstarch plant in Pasig. Since then, JG Summit has pioneered breakthroughs, broadened its enterprise, and stayed at the forefront in every phase of the country’s rise to development. It also helped individuals who strived for the good life—the entrepreneur, who invested in agribusiness and the manufacture of feeds and prime food commodities; the visionary, who channeled resources and expanded into financial services, textile and property, all backbones of a growing economy; the captain of industry, who invested in power, telecommunications, petrochemicals, cement, and air transportation, all requisites for industrialization; the innovator, who continually provides value and fun in snacking; and the new regional multinational, who has embraced the challenge of global competitiveness with zeal.
