The Society of Philippine Electrical Contractors (SPEC) was established in 1968 with a handful of leading electrical contractors in the industry. In 1979, SPEC initiated the establishment of an ASEAN organization in the electrical contracting and engineering profession.  Then President, Francisco Gonzalez, spearheaded talks with our counterparts in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. They agreed to establish what we now call The ASEAN Federation of Electrical Engineering Contractors (AFEEC). In 1985, SPEC was invited to the chartering of the Federation of Asian and Pacific Electrical Contractors (FAPECA) initiated by the Korean Electrical Contractors Association (KECA).  Since then, SPEC has been a leader in organizing its counterparts in the electrical contracting industry in the region. 

Through the years, SPEC has worked for the benefit of the electrical contractors. The active participation of its associate members inevitably caused it to change its name.  SPEC was renamed The Society of Philippine Electrical Contractors and Suppliers, Inc. or SPECS. Today, SPECS continues to grow and to provide its members with service in support of its vision and mission.
