Yuchengco-backed construction giant EEI Corp. marked its 50th year as a publicly listed company by ringing the opening bell at the Philippine Stock Exchange on July 21, 2025. T

The firm first listed its shares on the Manila Stock Exchange and Makati Stock Exchange on July 21, 1975. 

Founded in 1931, EEI has been a major player in Philippine construction for 94 years, contributing to key infrastructure projects. Its portfolio now spans energy, real estate, and manpower ventures alongside landmark works like the Metro Manila Subway and Malolos-Clark Railway. 

EEI is also set to build the P15.7-billion Philippine International Exhibition Center in Pasay, poised to be Southeast Asia’s largest convention center.

“If a company has been in existence for 94 years and has been publicly listed for 50 years, it must be doing many things right,” said PSE director Edgardo G. Lacson.  

“Going by EEI’s Corporation’s history, I believe that the company’s endurance and success can be attributed to its strong commitment to its people, a robust corporate governance, strategic partnerships and a resolute focus on infrastructure projects,” he added.
