Tunas Prima Sparks Growth and Opportunity in Batam
Batam, April 23, 2025 – As global industries seek stable, strategic, and growth-ready locations, Batam is stepping into the spotlight. Foreign investments are pouring into the region, with Tunas Prima Industrial Estate emerging as a catalyst for change—creating jobs and powering the local economy.
A Surge of Foreign Investment
Despite widespread economic challenges and slowdowns in many parts of the world, Batam has proven itself to be resilient and attractive to international investors. Four major foreign companies have already confirmed their plans to begin operations within Tunas Prima Industrial Estate by 2025. With construction and operational preparations underway, these developments signify a major boost in confidence toward Batam’s investment climate.
These investments do more than just bring capital—they send a strong signal that Batam is evolving into a key industrial destination in Indonesia’s economic landscape. The presence of foreign investors reinforces the island’s identity as a manufacturing hub while positioning it for even greater roles in global value chains.
Job Creation at Scale
Perhaps the most visible and impactful outcome of this influx is the creation of thousands of job opportunities. By 2025, Tunas Prima Industrial Estate is projected to provide employment for around 2,500 local workers, with that number expected to double to 5,000 by 2026. In a city where over 17,000 job seekers—from recent high school graduates to university alumni—are actively searching for employment, this surge in opportunity couldn’t come at a better time. Local authorities, Batam’s Department of Manpower (Dinas Tenaga Kerja), have expressed strong support and are working to ensure the recruitment process benefits local communities first.
Strengthening the Industrial Core
Tunas Prima is not just bringing jobs—it’s also attracting foreign investment in a strategically vital sector: electronics manufacturing. This aligns with global industry trends and supports Indonesia’s ambition to move up the value chain. The companies joining Tunas Prima bring with them not only financial resources, but also technological expertise, modern production systems, and international best practices.
This dynamic synergy strengthens Batam’s industrial base, making it more competitive and future-ready—especially in embracing Industry 4.0 and beyond. Local workers stand to benefit from knowledge transfer, improved skills, and better long-term career prospects.
At the heart of this economic movement is Tunas Prima Industrial Estate. Since its development began in 2023, the Estate has positioned itself as a high-potential, future-ready investment destination. By attracting leading manufacturers and ensuring robust infrastructure, it offers not just space—but opportunity.
Its presence is now vital to Batam’s growth trajectory, acting as a magnet for investors and a launchpad for a stronger, more inclusive economy. As investment flows in and factories gear up for production, the impact on Batam will be felt far and wide. Thousands of job opportunities, enhanced industrial capabilities, and a rejuvenated economy are only the beginning.

Downstream Industry Potential in Batam Attracts CNGR’s Interest in Investing
Batam continues to solidify its reputation as a prime investment destination with a recent visit from CNGR Advanced Material Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese company in the energy sector and a global supplier of lithium batteries. The visit on Friday, September 27, 2024, highlights the growing interest of international companies in Batam, particularly in the tin downstream industry.
As one of the world’s largest producers of tin, Indonesia holds significant potential to enhance its economic value through downstream processing. Tin-based products, such as electronic components, batteries, and other industrial materials, offer much higher export value. Batam, with its well-established and integrated industrial infrastructure, is perfectly positioned to become a key hub for such downstream industries. The city’s status as a Free Trade Zone (FTZ) also provides numerous incentives for companies looking to expand their operations in Indonesia. Its robust infrastructure, ease of import-export processes, and strategic location make Batam an ideal choice for multinational companies like CNGR.
CNGR Advanced Material has successfully expanded into markets across Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea. Following this success, CNGR is now considering Batam as its next strategic move. According to Zhu Jiangang, Vice President of CNGR Advanced Material, the company’s investment in Indonesia has already reached USD 7 billion and employed 8,000 workers. They are optimistic that this expansion will continue, with Batam’s downstream industry offering strong potential as the next investment destination.
During the meeting, Zhu Jiangang expressed his confidence in Batam’s promising market potential, noting the one-stop business solutions provided by Tunas Industrial Estate, led by Chrispin Andereas, which enhances the prospects for business growth. Zhu emphasized that Batam’s strategic location, streamlined import-export processes, and solid infrastructure were key factors driving CNGR’s interest in investing in the city. This aligns with CNGR’s ambition to continue its growth in the energy and downstream sectors, with plans to expand operations in countries such as Finland, Morocco, and Indonesia. Batam’s readiness to accommodate large-scale investments underscores its position as a leading industrial hub in Southeast Asia.

BATAM, (10/5/2024) – PT Solder Tin Andalan Indonesia (PT STANIA), a subsidiary of PT Arsari Tambang, just held a groundbreaking ceremony for their new factory in Tunas Prima Industrial Estate. This milestone marks a significant step towards enhancing Indonesia’s tin mining sector and boosting domestic industry. Hashim Djojohadikusumo, President Commissioner of PT Arsari Tambang, stated that the investment aims to add value to the commodity, strengthen domestic industrial infrastructure, and create new job opportunities in Indonesia, particularly in Batam City. The factory targets an initial production of around 2000 tons of solder per year, with an expected revenue of Rp 1.2 trillion.
PT STANIA Supports for Indonesia’s Mineral Industry Downstream with Green Commitment
The selection of Batam City as the factory location is based on its strategic position in international trade routes, as well as the support and incentives provided by the Riau Islands Provincial Government and BP Batam in promoting Batam City as a promising investment destination. With an investment value of Rp 400 billion, PT STANIA is confident in expanding its production capacity easily and competing with competitors, while aiming to compete in the markets of Malaysia and India, two of the largest solder-producing countries currently.
As a subsidiary of PT Arsari Tambang, PT STANIA will focus its production on tin-based solder, used in various electronic applications such as electric vehicles, mobile phones, and household appliances. The factory will produce solder in various forms, from solder wire to solder paste, using low-carbon emission production processes, systems, and raw materials. Additionally, PT STANIA will adhere to international standards ISO 9001, 14001, 50001, and 45001 in quality control, environmental protection, energy management, and occupational safety.
Tunas Prima Industrial Estate as a Location for Green Manufacturing of PT STANIA
The selection of the Tunas Prima Industrial Estate as the operational site for PT STANIA’s factory is highly strategic. The Tunas Prima Industrial Estate not only provides infrastructure that supports industrial growth but also offers green industry services. These green industry services include the use of clean electricity supplied by PT PLN Batam, accompanied by Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) ensuring the use of renewable energy sources. Additionally, it involves the development of green infrastructure with Green Mark For District certificates issued by BCA International from Singapore and Greenship Neighborhood certificates issued by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI).
By selecting the Tunas Prima Industrial Estate as its operational location, PT STANIA not only demonstrates its commitment to producing high-quality products but also to fulfilling social and environmental responsibilities as part of a sustainable green industry. These collective initiatives will help support the downstreaming of tin minerals, local economic growth, and make a positive contribution to the environment and the surrounding community.
