From great ideas to mega sculptures

A look inside the production processes of Pampanga-based company Heinimex

By Aly Dela Peña

 

For Heinimex Corporation, a Philippine manufacturer of decorative products, creating lifelike sculptures, statues, and objects is an intricate labor of love. With more than two decades of experience in the industry, this company from the province of Pampanga has been known for its larger-than-life ornaments that add whimsy and character to residential and commercial spaces alike.

In creating life-like displays—a reinterpretation of the province’s well-known traditional wood carving practices, Heinimex uses resin, fiberglass, concrete, and stonecast.

The production begins with the playful imagination of the in-house designers. Then sculptors carefully and skillfully breathe life into the concepts by shaping them in clay. Once sculpted, it will be molded for easier replication. For final touch, the artists apply different finishes to the decors by hand.
