In 1888, the company introduced the firsttramcarservice in the Philippines. The company participated in the construction of theAyala Bridgeover thePasig Riverin Manila. Originally built of wood in 1872, the bridge was reconstructed in steel in 1908 to become the first steel bridge in the Philippines. The company was responsible for the urban development ofMakatiafterWorld War IIunder the leadership of Col. Joseph Ralph McMicking, who was married to Mercedes Zobel de Ayala.[8]

Ayala y Compañía shifted from a partnership to a corporation with the establishment of Ayala Corporation in 1968 and became public company in 1976.[9]Ayala Corporation welcomed the minority investment ofMitsubishi Corporationas its strategic partner in 1974.[10]
