At a very young age of 14, Severino Alipoyo started to work as a carpenter and carver. He worked
as a carpenter in a machine shop in Surigao City where he taught himself welding and machining
works. In 1992, he started a business with a friend but after three years of managing, the business
flopped. Still wanting to continue the business, Severino worked alone in the shop and named it
Ever Machine Shop.
Severino saw an opportunity to upgrade the shop’s equipment and applied for SETUP in 2014.
The firm acquired three lathe machines and a universal milling machine. With the upgrade in the
equipment and added income, Severino was able to buy two more equipment for the shop.
The shop used to outsource some services including cylinder head surfacing services from
other shops adding more to the expenses. To solve the problem brought by the added cost of
outsourcing services, Severino applied again for SETUP in 2018. On their second availment of
