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.
