Founded in 2002, Vivant Corporation (PSE: VVT) is a publicly traded company in the Philippines, driven by the Garcia-Escaño Family of Cebu.
It has a rich history dating back to the 1920s and is actively involved in power generation, distribution, and retail electricity supply in the Philippines through its subsidiaries and associates, all with the aim of enhancing everyday living.
Vivant traces its roots to the 1879 founding of Hijos de F. Escaño Inc. (HDFE) by Don Fernando Escaño.
In the early 1900s, the Family expanded from shipping and trade into the power industry by acquiring Visayas Electric Company (VECO), which supplied electricity to Cebu City and its neighboring areas.
During WWII, VECO’s facilities were heavily damaged. With US Army assistance, it resumed operations at pre-war levels, expanding staff and equipment. Today, VECO is the Philippines’ second-largest privately owned electric power distribution utility in terms of annual GWh sales.
The Family bought 99% of Philstar.com, a PSE-listed company. They later merged their holdings in HDFE and VECO into this company, which was then renamed Vivant Corporation.
