Our Story

In July 1974, just two months after their marriage, Miguel del Gallego and Maria Elena Galan embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, founding Delgallego Enterprises from the comfort of their home. Within just three months, their dream transformed into a burgeoning business, complete with an office, a bodega, and a dedicated team that included a secretary and a driver. As their commerce flourished, Delgallego Enterprises evolved, officially becoming Degalen Corporation on February 11, 1981, when it was formally organized and registered with the SEC.

This marked the beginning of a new chapter in our commitment to excellence.

Miguel Juan R. del Gallego

Founder

With expansion came diversification. Degalen Corporation continuously refined its portfolio of products and services, adapting to the ever-changing needs of our growing clientele.

In 1990, we opened our first branch in Bacolod City, followed by Cagayan de Oro in 1997 and Iligan City shortly thereafter.

From our humble beginnings, we’ve built a strong presence across Visayas and Mindanao, serving various industries, including Power, Mining, Sugar, Cement, Food and Beverage, and Marine.

In December 2022, we faced the profound loss of our beloved founder, Mike del Gallego. His vision and passion for Degalen inspired the Del Gallego children to honor his legacy by carrying the torch forward.

At Degalen, we are dedicated to innovation and growth, continually advancing alongside our customers.

We strive to deliver superior products and exceptional services, leveraging our expertise in bearings and industrial solutions.

Our commitment is to provide unparalleled value, fostering enduring partnerships that empower our clients and drive mutual success.
