DUROS DEVELOPMENT CORP. is a 100% owned Filipino Family Corporation, incorporated in 1990. It is a spin-off from its mother company, SAN-VIC TRADERS, INC. Both companies are run by the same Board of Directors, with Mr. Rafaelito A. Barino (married to Fe Mantuhac) as the President and Chairman of the Board. All other members of the board and officers belong to the Mantuhac family who are also holding important positions in the company.

The word “DUROS” is taken from the latin word “dura”, meaning strong, tough, durable. Its original office was located at Tipolo, Mandaue City until its transfer to its own property in Yati, Liloan, Cebu in 1995, where it is now conveniently located.

It started as a contractor of San Miguel Corp. for the regular painting maintenance of buildings and machineries since 1990 up to the present.

In 1995, DUROS entered into sub-contract with Dongsung Construction Co., Inc., a Korean firm who was awarded the contract for the reconstruction of Cebu North Road Asphalting project from Consolacion to Danao City. It was the first road project of DUROS which costs P60 Million. DUROS imported its Asphalt Batching Plant and other paving equipment and machineries from Korea with the assistance of Land Bank of the Philippines.
