DEWALT unveiled its latest line of outdoor power tools at an exclusive launch event at the Grand Ballroom of City of Dreams Manila. This launch marks DEWALT’s ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, catering to the rigorous demands of professionals and industries and appealing to dedicated DIY enthusiasts.
The event brought together industry professionals, influencers, retail partners, dealers, and key members of the United Architects of the Philippines. Attendees experienced firsthand the groundbreaking features of DEWALT’s new outdoor power tools.
The tools showcase advanced technology, including energy-efficient motors, ergonomic designs, and durable materials, all crafted to reduce environmental impact.
In his keynote address, Kevin Lowe, vice president for Southeast Asia at DEWALT, emphasized the significance of this launch: “Today, we celebrate not only our 100 years of excellence but also our commitment to sustainability. Our advanced cordless technology empowers our customers to reduce their carbon footprints without compromising performance and reliability.”
Joanne Mercado, product manager for DEWALT Outdoor in the Philippines, showcased the innovative range of cordless outdoor tools designed to meet the diverse needs of Filipino consumers. This new product lineup includes powerful pressure washers, lawnmowers, and trimmers engineered for efficiency and ease of use. Mercado emphasized the versatility of the tools available in both 20V and 60V options.
“DEWALT is committed to providing sustainable solutions that enhance the user experience,” Mercado stated. “Our cordless outdoor tools eliminate harmful gas emissions and prioritize user well-being and comfort, all while maintaining the high standards of quality and performance our customers expect.”
Mercado elaborated that end user-driven innovation inspires DEWALT to redefine what’s possible with the latest power tools that enhance efficiency and boost productivity. Consumers get the most out of their tools, especially with Dewalt’s proprietary battery technologies such as DEWALT XR or eXtreme Runtime & eXtreme Reliability, Flexvolt battery featuring DEWALT’s patented technology that automatically switches voltages when you change your tools, and the latest battery technology available in the country DEWALT Powerstack battery that utilizes breakthrough pouch cell battery, instead of traditional cylindrical cells.
This latest battery technology generates less heat and resistance, resulting in batteries that deliver more power for longer and have a longer lifespan.
Reflecting on the Company’s confidence in its product line, Mercado stated that DEWALT has the most extended (3-year) warranty protection for all its power tools backed by the SERBILIS program. With SERBILIS, customers handle the pickup and delivery of repair tools directly in partnership with DHL.
The event also featured a panel discussion on Environmental Preservation, Beautification, and Sustainability, led by industry leaders, including eco-architect James Hao and architect Richard Manlulu Garcia.
James Hao is a recognized eco-architect known for his sustainable designs and innovative projects, which have been featured in various media outlets. He holds a Master’s in City Design and Social Science from the London School of Economics.
Richard Manlulu Garcia co-founded Garcia Lee Architecture and Design (GALA Architecture), a firm specializing in mixed-use developments. As a Green Architect, he has contributed to multiple LEED-certified projects and held several leadership positions in the United Architects of the Philippines.
Jao underscored the importance of harmony between function, design, and the environment. He noted a growing demand from companies and homeowners to address the need to protect people and the planet through sustainable materials and tools that support green architecture.
Regarding profitability versus sustainability, Garcia emphasized that sustainable architecture adds value to real estate and that long-term financial gains are partly the result of cost-effective measures ingrained in green design. Energy-efficient buildings have lower operational costs, reduce utility bills, and increase savings for property managers, occupants, and owners.
Lowe highlighted DEWALT’s commitment to listening to users. With its end user obsession, DEWALT continues to transform the industry by proactively looking ahead to meet the trades’ needs for sustainable and cutting-edge power tools that offer greater efficiency and productivity and contribute to a greener future.
Mercado addressed concerns about affordability. Her advice was to start small when investing in outdoor power tools and consider the tools’ long-term value and extended lifespan.
As part of the Outdoor Power Revolution, DEWALT invites customers and industry partners to join its commitment to a greener future. This launch is a testament to DEWALT’s ongoing efforts to empower individuals with cutting-edge tools while prioritizing environmental sustainability.
