Founded in 1971 by the late Mr. Robert A. Arevalo, First Worldwide Marketing Corporation began as a local distributor of turf maintenance equipment imported from the United States, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other Asian countries.

     In the early eighties, our company expanded operations overseas predominantly in Brunei, Singapore and Malaysia. We participated in many development programs sponsored by various government entities and private sectors. For four years we were involved in several Brunei outdoor government projects particularly the Palace of the Royal Family, The Shell, Brunei Public Works and Highway Projects Housing Projects, etc.

   FWMC then diversified into golf courses development projects in 1988 in Singapore which gave birth to the First Worldwide Pte. Ltd. In lieu of the company's extensive Singapore exposure, the FWMC head office in Manila began to offer erosion control services catering exclusively to golf courses, agricultural and land development projects, airport and road projects, tree plantation, high value ruminant annual breeding, and high value crops production.

 

    FWMC is proud to be the first Filipino company to pioneer the construction of the first "all weather" golf course in the Philippines, emanating from the two year construction of the Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

     FWMC's twenty two (22) years hands-on expertise in erosion prevention on golf course development proved to be the pride of every Filipino golf enthusiasts when the company was nominated as specialty contractor in the construction of the Mimosa Golf Resort and Country Club. From initial "conceptualization" to actual construction, FWMC did a magnificent job. Using the latest equipment and machineries, our company undertook the most advanced turf grass planting through "hydro-seeding". FWMC did it with the help of hired American and Australian technical consultants. Mimosa Golf Resort and Country Club was mentioned in "TIME MAGAZINE" and its golf community as the "FINEST IN ASIA".

 

 

     FWMC was also commissioned by the Philippines Tourism Authority to facilitate the fast construction of Club Intramuros golf course using the finest technique of turf grass planting. It completed the job ahead of schedule in spite of limited time given to finish the project prior to the past celebration of the special APEC golf tournament.

      FWMC has recently completed works on slope and embankment protection/ in the "Palau Compact Road Project" in the Republic of Palau and the re-vegetation of the North Luzon Expressway Project under Leighton Contractors Inc.

     FWMC is presently working on slope and embankment stabilization in Package 1 of the new Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway Project of the BCDA using hydro-seeding technology with coconut fiber nets, and Package 2 of the same project using hydro-seeding technology only.
