About Us
HERCO TRADING is a proudly Filipino, family-owned company and a leading name in the hardware distribution industry in the Philippines since 1908. With over 100 years of experience, we have built a solid reputation as one of the most trusted hardware distributors in the country, known for our unwavering commitment to quality products, customer service excellence, and business integrity.
Our journey began as a single hardware store in Binondo, Manila during the Spanish era. Through strategic growth and innovation, HERCO has evolved into a nationwide distributor serving both wholesale and retail hardware markets. Today, we carry and distribute over 50 globally recognized hardware brands, offering a comprehensive range of tools, home improvement supplies, and construction materials to thousands of trade customers and hundreds of modern retail outlets across the Philippines.
Now managed by a dynamic fifth-generation leadership team, HERCO blends deep industry heritage with modern operations. We invest in advanced logistics systems, digital infrastructure, and efficient warehouse facilities, backed by a large delivery fleet that ensures fast, reliable, and nationwide distribution.
HERCO operates on a global scale. We maintain strong partnerships with international forwarders and consolidators in the USA, Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan, allowing us to seamlessly manage the importation and logistics of top-quality hardware products. This global reach gives us a competitive edge in sourcing and delivering cost-effective, high-performance solutions to our partners.
In addition to hardware, HERCO is affiliated with some of the Philippines’ largest and most successful companies in plastic product manufacturing, consumer chemical production, and financial services. These strategic connections expand our business capabilities and enhance the value we provide to customers and stakeholders across multiple industries.
