We have never forgotten from where we came; it allows us to gauge where we wish to go.
Chairman, YCO Global Solutions
Our mother company, Ynchausti y Compañia (Ynchausti & Company), has a history of almost 200 years in the Philippines, pioneering industries that still exist today. It began as a shipping company out of the Basque Country in Europe in the late 18th century, plying the original galleon trade routes between Spain, South America and the Philippines, before venturing into various industries such as shipping, sugar, abaca, distillery, and banking; among others.
The logo hearkens back to our mother company’s history: galleons, sails and adventure on the high seas. Even the color scheme for our sails has meaning. The red and green reference the national colors of the Basque Country, while the blue reflects the long-standing United States military and government connections of our President and CEO. We even like to say we have three sails for a reason, to represent the past, present and future of our mother company, our employees and our clients.
The design of our website incorporates as many diverse elements as our logo. The map, compass and ship’s wheel all reference those days when our mother company navigated the galleon trade route.
