OUR ROOTS

From humble beginnings, our company has grown into the thriving enterprise it is today. Our journey began in 1980 as TFE Sales Marketing, a single proprietorship founded and managed by Tony U. Yap.

​

The name TFE itself embodies our family's dedication, representing Tony, Francisco Jr., and Eric — the three sons of Francisco Tan Yap Sr. It was our initial focus on general merchandise that laid the groundwork for the diverse enterprise we would become.

 

Just a year later, in 1981, Tony and his family made the pivotal decision to jumpstart the business into the corporation you know today. Armed with just one delivery truck and a single dedicated employee, Tony personally delivered foam and upholstery materials across Cebu City. This steadfast dedication and hands-on approach laid the foundations for our enduring commitment to service and quality.​

OUR PROGRESSION

Today, TFE boasts two offices in Cebu (Cebu City and Mandaue City), as well as a strategic warehouse in Metro Manila. This expanded presence allows us to efficiently serve a nationwide client base, supported by our robust importing capabilities from international partners in China, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and beyond.

 

​Over the decades, TFE has meticulously cultivated a vast and specialized product line, catering to a wide array of industries including Sealants, Ceiling & Light Metal Framings, Construction & Industrial Supplies/Equipment and Office Furniture.

From our roots to our present position as a multi-faceted supplier, TFE remains dedicated to delivering quality products and services, building on a legacy of trust and growth that continues to the future
