The company is the only manufacturer that exports to different parts of the world. The clients to name a few are Spain, Hongkong, UK, Pakistan, Guam and the latest is Australia.
When Mr. Ngo Chin reach the peak of his business, in somehow he still thinks of his past life being a farmer, from all the hard working using carabao to till the soil.
He thinks of a faster and easy way for land preparation, he come up to invent hand tractor, this is the first hand tractor in the Philippines. With a trade mark of “Lakas Elepante” because of a heavy duty structure, fast and convenient in operation, the farmers prefer to use this modern technology in farming.
