Abaca, internationally known as Manila Hemp, is indigenous to the Philippines. Its fibers are used for weaving fabrics, while its outer, coarser fibers are used in the manufacture of matting and durable cordage. The abaca plant is indigenous to the Philippines and our country is the world's largest source and supplier of abaca fiber. At Simor, we have succeeded in capturing tradition and imagination to manufacture one-of-its-kind products:
Creative talent and a lot of hard work complete our designs. Engineering and modern color technology provide the refined, textured look demanded by today's lifestyle. The Nature of Abaca The local name of the plant is Abaca and its scientific name is Musa Textilis. Abaca is an indigenous material, a native plant of the Philippines, from which the world famous Manila Hemp is extracted. It is a member of the banana family and one who is not familiar with either banana or abaca could easily mistake one for the other because of the resemblance in appearance. Abaca is smaller than banana although some varieties under favorable conditions equal the banana and at times are even taller. Abaca, however, is distinguishable from the banana and similar plants through its general coloration and formation of leaves, trunks, and fruits. The slender leaves of abaca are narrower with pointed ends and glossy green whereas banana plants have leaves that are broader and somewhat whitish. The hearts, trunks, and fruits of banana plants are relatively bigger than those of abaca. Ingenious Products Simor's unique abaca wallcoverings, abaca rugs and abaca sunshades are patiently and meticulously handwoven by the weavers of Camalig, Albay using engineered wooden looms. They materialize from the intimate relationship we have nurtured with abaca through the years. This relationship enables us to bring forth the abaca's intrinsic beauty in our products. Widely accepted the world over Simor's abaca products lavishly cover the walls of posh department stores, condominiums, homes, and villas of the rich and famous in Paris, New York, and other major capital cities of the world. We have directly exported to Hong Kong, Japan, North America, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Austria, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. Truly, the world recognizes the beauty of Filipino products and the Filipino's world class creativity and ingenuity. |
