COMPANY ROOTS
CM & Sons Food Products, Inc. was
established as a family enterprise in 1995 in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.
Its products are marketed under the trade name “Merci” a French word meaning “thank
you”. Though the trade name is undergoing a rebranding process from Merci to
Merzci, the company still believes that it will remain competitive in the food
market.
Merzci started as a small bakery,
supplying breads to a single store at the Libertad Market. Eventually, its
popularity became undeniable due to a growing satisfied customer pool. With its
high quality breads at affordable prices, combined with aggressive marketing
strategies and the ingenuity of youth, it did not take long for the company to
establish its own branches around the city and supply products to satellite
dealers all over the province.
Merzci also evolved into a fast food
restaurant serving scrumptious and affordable snacks and short-order meals
for people on the go.
Complementing its food line, it diversified
its business interests in 2003 with the introduction of itsbottled purified
water brands distributed around Negros Island, namely MERCI PURIFIED
DRINKING WATER and VITALIFE PURIFIED DRINKING WATER. Despite competition from
national brands, the two brands successfully sliced a big share in the
province’s purified water market in only a few months’ time and up to present.
The water brand is also expected to follow suit in the rebranding of its trade
name.
The success of CM & Sons Food Products,
Inc. may very well be attributed to its ability to cope with the emergence of
new markets and opportunities.
In January 2005, CM & Sons launched its
newest line – MERZCI PASALUBONG TREATS, to cater to the growing
tourist and balikbayan crowd that regularly come to the province.

The pasalubong treats have gained a massive “suki” consumer crowd
that prompted the company to open its first pasalubong center in Singcang,
Bacolod City in September 2005. This branch is only about five minutes away
from the old Bacolod Airport which, at that time, gained a wide acceptance
among the locals and travelers alike. Seven months later, a
second pasalubong center emerged in Mandalagan in April 2006, which
now caters mainly to travelers leaving the city on the way to the north of the
island. In 2008, when the New Bacolod-Silay Airport was opened to the public a
new branch conveniently located at the Departure Area was opened for its
customers who are always on the go. And, most recently last February of 2013,
BREDCO Branch was established to cater to Iloilo-Panay travelers making it a
point that, indeed, Merzci will always be a part of a traveler’s Bacolod
experience.
