Mr. John Paul Tan Buhay, Owner @ JPB Gravel and Sand, Philippines

JPB Gravel and Sand, led by owner John Paul Tan Buhay, has been operating for ten years and continues to play a vital role in major infrastructure projects.

From its quarry site, the company supplies high-quality subbase materials used in developments such as the SLEX (South Luzon Expressway) Extension, ensuring strong foundations for expressways and large-scale construction. The company also provides excavator rental services for land-leveling, cut-and-fill, dumping, and site elevation work—projects that rely heavily on durable and efficient machinery.

Two years ago, JPB invested in Kobelco excavators, now operating two SK220XDLC-10 units and one SK210LC-10. Buhay highlights the SK220XDLC-10’s heavy-duty build and Kobelco’s excellent after-sales support, describing it as the true backbone of customer satisfaction. Operator Reymar Lusterio, with seven years of experience, praises Kobelco for its comfort, strong air conditioning, fuel efficiency, and durability. Both owner and operator confidently recommend the Kobelco SK220XDLC-10, where power meets efficiency.
