Our History

Capitol Steel Founder Mr. Han Sui Cheng

Founding
Capitol Steel, a leading reinforcing steel bar (or rebar)
manufacturer and supplier  was founded by Han Sui
Cheng in 1974. In 1953, he started working at
International Steel Mill, later to be renamed Apollo
Steel Mills Inc., rising to become General Manager.
Eventually, he becomes the President. Capitol Steel,
formerly Central Steel and also a sister company of
Apollo Steel and a pioneer in the Steel Industry in
1950 together with Philippine Blooming Mills and
Marcelo Steel, suffered a crippling strike in 1973. The
owner, Mr. Johnny Cheng, who was also his boss
moved to liquidate the money-losing venture.

At the time, Mr. Han Sui Cheng, who was taking up his
PhD in Economics at the University of Santo Tomas
proposed a turnaround business plan as part of his
thesis. The owner proposed a joint venture
arrangement instead and offered a majority share in
the company. He remarked that better to be a partner
in a profitable business than to be the sole owner of a
losing business. In time, the partnership proved to be
successful, creating a steadfast rebar manufacturer.
Two decades later, Mr. Johnny Cheng took over Apollo
Steel and in exchange gave full ownership of Capitol
Steel to Mr. Han Sui Cheng.

Under the leadership of Mr. Han Sui Cheng, Capitol

Steel supplied major projects like the Magat Dam, one
of the biggest infrastructure projects of its time in the
1970s. This was followed by other dams like the
Pantabangan Dam, the Ipo Dam, the La Mesa Dam
and others.

Continuous Improvement
Capitol Steel was also one of the early adopters of
ASTM A615 Grade 60, a high tensile grade used in
high rise projects in the 1980s like the Citibank Tower
in Makati among others.

During the traffic crisis of the 1990s, Capitol Steel

supplied the fast track projects of the EDSA-Ortigas
Interchange, the EDSA-Buendia flyover, the C5-
Kalayaan Flyover, and the Katipunan Flyover. The
manufacturing plant was also upgraded with
European, Japanese, and Taiwanese technology.

In the 2000s, Capitol Steel worked together with

Centre de Recherches Métallurgiques in Belgium to
produce ASTM A706 Grade 75, a higher grade of high
tensile steel. This was tested and applied in its own
project, a 50,000 sqm high-rise Building in the Ortigas
Central Business District. Working together with Sy-
Squared, Capitol Steel was able to supply the steel for
an office floor plate with long spans and more
compact columns that resulted in efficiency.

Looking at the Future

Presently, Capitol Steel, on its fourth decade, remains
a solid partner in the construction and real estate
industry. It is embarking on a major transformation to
meet future challenges.
