History

Phelps Dodge International Corporation began operations in 1956, in New York City.
That same year, our first manufacturing facility was inaugurated in Cuba, with results so successful that they promoted the establishment of new partnerships and operations in Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the Philippines in the following years.

Our successful expansion continued during the 1960s in Mexico, Colombia, Italy, El Salvador, India, Ecuador, Greece, Argentina, the United Kingdom, Chile, Lebanon, Thailand, Panama and Brazil.

In the 1970s, our growth took us to Zambia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Iran, Singapore and Spain.  Our operations in Honduras were started in the 1980s.  Hong Kong and China were partnerships established during the 1990s.

We have entered into the 21st century with a global organization and focus, with almost 50 years of experience serving the international markets, and with a team of global minded professionals.  We are proud of our history and strongly committed to our customers, today and tomorrow.
