Powerhouse Tools Celebrates 15 Years of Empowering Filipino Welding Excellence Through New Technology

Powerhouse Tools, a leading name in hardware supplies in the Philippines, celebrates 15 years in the industry by launching advanced technology and empowering Filipinos in their craft with the help of partner institutions, the Wood Academy and the TESDA-accredited Power Skills Technical Center (PSTC).

The brand’s new industry-leading welding machines, the MIGTECH 3-in-1 inverter and the Turbomaxx Plus MMA inverter, launch this November. Designed for durability and versatility, both promise to meet the evolving needs of professionals and learners alike.

The MIGTECH 3-in-1 combines MIG, MMA, and TIG welding capabilities, operates at 200A-300A, and works with flux-cored wire. Meanwhile, the Turbomaxx Plus MMA inverter features IGBT technology and a digital control panel, and delivers 200A-550A power for electrode welding in construction and fabrication work.

“Powerhouse Tools is always on the lookout for cutting-edge technology and innovation that serves our local professionals. We see value in creating more opportunities for them, hence the launch of our MIGTECH 3-in-1 and the Turbomaxx Plus MMA inverter machines. Our goal is not only to make their work efficient, but their daily life much easier as they balance life and work,” said Kendrick Siy, Marketing Director of Powerhouse Tools.

Powerhouse Tools machines have earned strong endorsements from professional welders and daily users across the industry. Professional welder Mario Abella Alcoendras, also known as “Roy Welding,” relies on the MIGTECH 200 for tubular welding, wherein the automatic wire speed control makes his work faster and more consistent. "Tatlong taon ko na itong ginagamit at napakasulit talaga. Okay na okay pa rin ang performance ng Migtech 200 ko, walang pagbabago," he said. (I've been using this for three years and it''s really worth it. The performance of my Migtech 200 is still excellent—no changes.)

The machines also prove their worth over years of consistent use. Marjo Lardera, known as "The Foot Master" for his distinctive welding method, said, "Powerhouse Migweld-200Tech Flux Cored po ang gamit ko. Iwas butas at maganda rin siyang kumapit. Sabi nga nila sa Ilonggo, ang 'agi kuno nami' ibig sabihin, maganda ang pagka-welding. Mga apat na taon ko nang gamit ang Powerhouse at sa awa ng Diyos, hindi pa nasisira. Kumbaga, durable pa rin," he shared. (I use the Powerhouse Migweld-200Tech Flux Cored. It prevents holes and has good adherence. As they say in Ilonggo, 'agi kuno nami' meaning the welding quality is excellent. I've been using Powerhouse for about four years, and by God's grace, it hasn't broken down. In other words, it's still durable.)

Beyond durability and power, these machines play a crucial role in developing the Philippines next generation of skilled welders. Powerhouse tools partner Wood Academy uses MIGTECH machines in its one-day basic metalworking workshops. Students are taught how to operate industry-standard equipment, completing practical projects that provide them with DIY skills and basic welding knowledge.


In another effort to advance welding education in the Philippines, Powerhouse Tools supplies PSTC with Turbomaxx Plus machines for NC1 and NC2 certification classes. This gives students hands-on experience and real-world training with industry-grade equipment, highlighting Powerhouse’s commitment to equipping Filipino welders with the latest technology and practical skills.

Beyond training, students get to test new Powerhouse products and provide performance feedback. This creates a valuable partnership that benefits both education and product development.

"These partnerships are strategic investments in developing the skilled workforce that drives Philippine industrial growth, with quality equipment as the foundation,” said Siy.

Through its #SaPowerhouseKaYeah campaign, Powerhouse Tools champions both equipment excellence and educational advancement. As the company celebrates its 15th year, these pillars position the company to lead the growth of the Philippine welding industry.
