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.

In his speech, Chrispin Andereas as the Chairman of Tunas Group expressed his motivation and hope for the Tunas Prima Industrial Estate project. “As we know, Batam is highly desirable as an investment destination, especially for export-oriented companies thanks to its strategic location close to Singapore and Malaysia, as well as its status as a Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in Indonesia. Then, after the Covid-19 pandemic which had a significant impact on the global supply chain, it encouraged many manufacturers to expand and look for new locations for the smooth running of their supply chain.

“In addition, with the concept of ‘Sustainable Future’ that we offer, Tunas Prima Industrial Estate is a solution for companies that are committed to the principles of sustainability and need space to conduct business in a modern, environmentally friendly industrial area.

Realizing a Carbon-Free Industrial Estate

One important aspect of the ‘Sustainable Future’ concept is realizing Tunas Prima Industrial Estate as a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission-free industrial estate. By achieving carbon neutrality, Tunas Prima can significantly reduce CO2 emissions from industrial activities.  Supported by a strategic partnership with PLN Bright, the electricity supply provided to Tunas Prima Industrial Estate is 100% clean energy through Physical PPA from dedicated source in the form of Floating Solar Power Plant built at DAM Tembesi. As well as Virtual PPA from other domestic renewable energy sources owned by PLN Indonesia bundled with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This strategy helps tenants reduce their Scope 2 carbon emissions and achieve Zero Net Carbon status.

Green Infrastructure Development with Green Mark Standard

Green infrastructure development is the next aspect in the implementation of sustainability principles at Tunas Prima Industrial Estate. Supported by expert environmental sustainability consultants to ensure green infrastructure management in accordance with Green Mark standards. As a result, Tunas Prima Industrial Estate can be the first industrial estate in Indonesia that is on its way to be Green Mark For District certified issued by BCA International from Singapore and Greenship Neighborhood certificate issued by Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI).
The green infrastructure includes the use of IoT technology in the command center for environmental control throughout the area; green transportation support with the availability of interconnected walkways that are convenient for pedestrians or cyclists and EV charging stations; the use of drought-tolerant plants to keep the environment beautiful without excessive water usage, resource utilization efficiency; eco-friendly landscape design; and provisions for future expansion. Through the implementation of this green infrastructure, we are able to improve operational efficiency, implement best management practices in maintaining environmental sustainability, and significantly reduce the impact of carbon emissions.

Water Security Management 

Tunas Prima Industrial Estate ensures an adequate supply of clean water within the estate. By maintaining water availability and security, long-term business growth at Tunas Prima Industrial Estate can be achieved. The implementation of responsible waste management practices at Tunas Prima Industrial Estate complements our ‘Sustainable Future’ commitment. Water treatment schemes through Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle principles are the main focus. In this context, Tunas Prima Industrial Estate has taken several important steps.
First, the installation of sanitary ware with WELS 3 ticks qualification that helps reduce water usage within the area. In addition, the provision of Rainwater Harvesting Ponds that can collect rain runoff water so that it can be used as an alternative water source. Waste water management from tenants in Tunas Prima Industrial Estate is carried out with a modern and professional approach through the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Waste water quality sensors installed in the sewer can minimize the impact of waste water before it is returned to the environment.
Overall, the development of Tunas Prima Industrial Estate with the concept of Sustainable Future can be a real contribution to the government’s efforts to encourage economic development and long-term investment that is environmentally friendly according to the target of Indonesia’s Vision 2045. Where some of the important pillars are achieving water security, energy security, commitment to the environment and sustainable low-carbon development.
