Hardware Trading Company in the Philippines for Industrial Equipment

JOHOB Hardware Trading is a Philippines-based supplier of industrial equipment for commercial, industrial, and institutional buyers. Our product categories cover pumping and pressure systems, including booster, transfer, and submersible pumps with VFD duplex control panels, plus electrical panels built around VFD, SDE, star-delta, and MCC configurations using Inovance and Chutian components. We also supply steam and boiler systems (steam boilers, hot water systems, and condensate handling), piping, fittings, and accessories such as stainless steel flexible hose and ball and gate valves, material handling equipment including self-propelled and hydraulic scissor lifts, and industrial processing equipment such as briquette lines, mixers, extruders, and mills. Fire protection equipment, including fire reserve tanks and sprinkler kits, rounds out the catalog. Water storage, specifically FRP, GRP, HDG, and stainless steel modular tanks, is supplied under our sister brand TankSmith, which handles the turnkey tank installation side of the business. Every category is sourced through vetted overseas manufacturers and ISO 9001 certified partner factories, and delivered with local warranty coverage and after-sales support, so buyers are not left managing a claim directly with an overseas factory. Pricing across all categories is quote-based; we do not publish price lists, since equipment specification, quantity, and site conditions change the final cost.

We deliver nationwide, covering NCR, the rest of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, with specific experience serving buyers inside PEZA and SBMA economic zones and the Clark freeport area. This matters for buyers weighing a hardware trading company because equipment like boiler systems, electrical panels, and modular tanks often needs coordinated delivery to a construction site or an operating facility outside Metro Manila, not just a warehouse pickup in the capital. Our buyer base spans commercial, industrial, and institutional accounts, meaning the same catalog serves a hotel needing a booster pump system, a factory needing an electrical panel upgrade, and a hospital or school needing fire protection or water storage equipment. Because PEZA and SBMA locators and exporters qualify for zero-VAT treatment on eligible purchases, buyers operating inside those zones should flag their registration status at the RFQ stage so the quote reflects the correct tax treatment from the start, rather than needing a revised quote later in the purchasing cycle. Standard VAT-registered buyers outside these zones are quoted with 12% VAT applied in the normal course. Nationwide coverage combined with zone-aware VAT handling is part of what separates a hardware trading company built for institutional procurement from a general tools retailer.

The equipment we supply carries recognized certifications appropriate to each product category. Tanks are supplied with WRAS-certified panels. Across categories, we work with manufacturers holding ISO 9001 certified quality management systems, and equipment is TUV SUD tested where applicable. Electrical panels and material handling equipment carry CE marking, and pressure vessels carry ASME certification where the equipment type requires it. Scissor lifts specifically are supplied to IPAF standards. For institutional and industrial buyers, these certifications are not paperwork for its own sake; they are what a facilities manager or procurement officer needs on file to pass an internal audit, an insurance review, or a government inspection after installation. When you request a quote, ask us to include the specific certification documentation relevant to your product category so it is on hand before the equipment is commissioned, rather than chased down after the fact. We list certifications by category rather than as a blanket claim, because not every certification applies to every product; a scissor lift quote should reference IPAF and CE, while a boiler quote should reference ASME where pressure vessel components are involved.

All pricing is quote-based; we do not publish a public price list because equipment specification, order quantity, and delivery location all affect the final landed cost. Once you submit a request for quotation, you can expect a response within one business day. Standard lead times run 21 to 35 days for ex-stock items and 45 to 90 days for made-to-order equipment, so the actual timeline depends on whether the specific unit you need is a stocked configuration or a custom build. VAT-registered buyers are quoted with the standard 12% VAT applied. Buyers registered as PEZA or SBMA locators, or operating as exporters, qualify for zero-VAT treatment on eligible purchases; flag this status when you submit your RFQ so the quote is built correctly from the start. Because lead time varies by product category and configuration, buyers working against a fixed project schedule, such as a construction handover date or a plant shutdown window, should submit RFQs as early as possible in the planning stage rather than waiting until the equipment is needed on site.

JOHOB Hardware Trading operates alongside two sister brands under the same group. TankSmith (tanksmith.com) handles turnkey water storage installs, including FRP, GRP, HDG, and stainless steel modular tank systems, from sizing through installation. Philvolt (philvolt.com) is our commercial solar EPC sister brand, focused on commercial-scale solar projects; we do not offer residential solar. If your project needs water storage or on-site power generation alongside the equipment listed on this page, TankSmith and Philvolt are the dedicated teams for those categories, while JOHOB Hardware Trading remains the point of contact for pumping, electrical panels, steam and boiler systems, piping, material handling, industrial processing equipment, and fire protection. Keeping these as distinct but connected brands lets each team stay focused on the technical detail of its category, whether that is tank hydraulics and modular panel assembly or solar array sizing and grid interconnection, while a buyer working across categories can still coordinate through one group.

Buying industrial equipment directly from an overseas factory can look cheaper on the quoted unit price, but it usually shifts freight coordination, import documentation, warranty claims, and spare parts sourcing onto the buyer. As a Philippines-based hardware trading company, JOHOB Hardware Trading handles that coordination and stands behind the equipment with local warranty coverage and after-sales support, so a warranty claim or a spare parts request goes through a local contact rather than a factory on the other side of a shipping delay. Our approach is to build out technical buying guides written to Philippine plumbing code (NSPC and NBC) and vertical-specific landing pages for sectors like commercial laundry, hotels, hospitals, food processing, and SBMA or PEZA facilities, so a buyer can find sizing guidance specific to their situation rather than a generic product listing. We do not claim PCAB accreditation and we are not a construction contractor; our role is equipment supply and after-sales support, and any installation or civil works on a project are handled by the buyer's own contractor or by TankSmith for tank-specific turnkey scopes.
