BF Industries, Inc. was established in 1972 as a sole - proprietorship business by Mr. Bonifacio P. Fernandez, Sr. under the name of BF ENTERPRISES. It was later incorporated in March 23, 1979, as BF INDUSTRIES, INC., (BFI).

The company started out as a corn and rice by-products trading business to serve nearby piggery and poultry farms with 2 employees and a jeep with a trailer as its delivery vehicle. From 1975 to 1980, it was engaged in rice milling and copra trading.

Stiff competition and government controls in the rice milling business led to diversification to the charcoal business. In November 1980, BFI was able to transact with a Japanese company who is still a valued customer up to the present.

BFI exports granulated cocoshell charcoal to Japan as raw material for the production of activated carbon since 1981 to the present. From 1992 to the present, it exports charcoal briquets for barbecue fuel to Germany, Belgium, and United Kingdom.

In 1999, BFI diversified its products and started commercially producing activated carbon in October 2004.

Since then and up to the present, its main office and base of operation is at Crossing Bayabas, Toril, Davao City, a place very strategically located being the route going to the neighboring agricultural barrios of Toril district, Davao City. The manufacturing and warehouse facilities are located at Baliok, Toril, Davao City, less than two (2) kilometers from its main office. This area has been classified as an Industrial Zone by the Office of the City Planning and Development Coordinator of Davao City.

With over 50 years of experience, BFI is continuously committed in providing customers with excellent quality charcoal-based products.
