About CBK
Hardware
For almost a hundred years, a
family’s surname has become
synonymous to the country’s
biggest hardware supply
company. Co Ban Kiat Hardware
Incorporated, of the Cobankiat
family has a regular client
network of more than 1,500
industrial organizations; 1,600
traditional community hardware
stores, and 584 home building
specialty chain of stores across
Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
This ever-growing conglomerate
traces its humble roots to
Manila Chinatown, as a pioneer
enterprise started by family’s
patriarch, Mr. Cobankiat in
1920. Despite the ruins of World
War II, the business goes back
to its feet in 1948, rebuilding a
storefront from the very same
spot where it was known for
three decades.

While the Filipinos continue to
rebuild their lives post war, CBK
Hardware sees the opportunity
to introduce the retail concept
once unheard for in hardware
industry. The Hardware
Workshop Store is the fruit if
this endeavor. CBK Hardware
further cemented its legendary
distribution channel with the
creation of Coby’ Design Center
in Edsa Shangi La in 1996, a
specialty store that caters

modern Filipinos.
In 1997, Mr. Johnny
Cobankiat, the 4th generation
Cobankiat leader, set another
milestone for the company
when he brings a franchise
of Ace Hardware USA to the
Philippines, and signs up
CBK Hardware as one of its
major suppliers. This further
expanded into delivering
quality world class products
nearer to families of Filipino
overseas workers in the
countryside.
