A Visit to Uratex CDO Plant and Showroom

RGC Group of Companies, the company behind the top foam brand Uratex has opened a new plant and a showroom in Cagayan de Oro City. The opening of the new plant and the showroom is part of the company’s commitment to expand in Visayas and Mindanao. Uratex is a brand known for its commitment to product quality and excellence ensuring that its foams are produced with a high degree of product, superiority and world class quality.

I was one of the bloggers who had a chance to visit the newly opened Uratex manufacturing plant and showroom last April 11, 2015. During the event, I had the opportunity to check out their mattresses and other products like beddings, furniture, fabrics and etc. But one thing got my attention was their mattress. I had my first encounter with Uratex mattress when it was displayed at Ace Hardware at SaveMore Capistrano. I was in love with it at first glance but sad to say customers were not allowed to sit or lie down on it.

I am thankful during my visit to the showroom because I finally had the chance to try their mattress. This is the best thing about visiting a showroom because customers are given the chance to lie down or sit on each mattress so they can find which bed or mattress suits them best.

Lying down and sitting on a Uratex mattress was indeed very comfortable. To be honest, I really wished to take it home.

Here are some photos I took inside the showroom...

We also had the chance to visit the manufacturing plant. We were able to witness how the foam is processed. I wish I can share photos in here but picture taking was prohibited inside the plant. The CDO Uratex plant now produces a minimum of 1,000 foams a day.  

If you are looking for a new mattress, you can check out Uratex’s Pure Fresh Collection which is ideal for people with allergies. If you are looking for a perfect balance of comfort and support, specifically for spine alignment check out their Orthopaedic Support Collection. For superbly comfortable mattress you can check their Fine Elegance Collection.

Visit the Uratex showroom in CDO today at Cugman, Cagayan de Oro City.

Globe Opens a Wonderful World in CDO: #NextACT

Globe Telecom is ready to open its fully renovated store this coming Monday, December 15, 2014.  The newly upgraded store which is going to be named as G3 store is designed by architect Tim Kobe, the creative mind behind the design of the iconic Apple store. This store will open up a wonderful world for Globe subscribers and customers in CDO as it feature the most sophisticated and innovative store design.

The Globe G3 store in Limketkai is one of the biggest stores in the Philippines. The other is in SM North Edsa.

Flashback…

A few months ago, while the renovation was still going on, Globe Telecom launched the GEN3 ACT (Art+Community+Technology) events. It was a series of events that featured live art installations which provides curiosity to the public as to what may be inside the new Globe GEN3 store. The creative mind behind the art installations was a tie-up of local artists led by Mr. Ross Capili.

Me and Mr.Ross Capili 

I was given a chance to draw some lines on the artwork made by CDO's local artist.

I was trying to catch the attention of the local artists so they will give me a chance to paint a few strokes on the wall, but they were too busy to finish their artworks. I just had this for photo op. :-)

The store’s renovation was truly fun and engaging and I’m sure a lot of you are now very excited to take a peak of the newly renovated store.

So, mark your calendars now for the Globe G3 Store Launch! December 15, 2014 (Monday), 6PM at the North Concourse, Limketkai Mall. It’s going to be a party with special guests Matteo Guidicelli, DJs David Callum and Eric Capili.
