History

Founded in 2004 by Amando P. Calixto Jr. and Giselyn B. Calixto, DMC Group of Companies began from humble beginnings in a small office in Taguig City. Built by a true entrepreneurial mindset—creating value from nothing and starting with no capital, backed only by determination, discipline, and the drive to succeed—the business started as DMC Marketing Services, a single proprietorship providing small marketing support services through offset printing, including flyers, posters, and other promotional materials.

As customer demand expanded, DMC Digital Link Co. Ltd. was established to provide digital printing services such as tarpaulins, backlit displays, billboard printing, and ready-display solutions including pull-up banners, sampling booths, and pop-up backdrops. With increasing client requirements for wider brand visibility solutions, DMC Outdoor Advertising Inc. was later formed, initially offering transit advertising through jeepney and bus placements. Over time, the company grew to become one of the leading transit advertising providers in the Philippines today.

Today, DMC Group of Companies has evolved into a full-service visibility solutions provider across both OOH and Shadow OOH platforms, supported by vertically integrated production facilities, a strong supply chain and logistics network, and nationwide implementation capabilities. With more than 3,000 square meters of owned workspace, state-of-the-art printing and signage making machines and dedicated and talented people, the Group continues to expand its capabilities across multiple industries.

Its growing portfolio includes Café Thea Pack Meals and Catering Services in food services, JAD Construction as part of its backward integration strategy, and Wash Me Mobile Car Wash—the only app-based mobile car wash platform in the Philippines, representing the Group’s forward integration into technology-enabled service delivery. The Group also established DMC Franchise Corporation to scale the founders’ business concepts through structured franchising and accelerate future expansion.

DMC continues to grow not only for business success, but also to create jobs, generate opportunities, and contribute meaningfully to society by supporting enterprises, empowering communities, and building long-term value for stakeholders.
