New Solder Factory in Batam Strengthens Indonesia's Tin Industry Downstreaming
The Indonesian government continues to push for industrial downstreaming programs to increase the added value of domestic commodities. One concrete step taken was the inauguration of a factory owned by the company Stania in Batam last July 2025.
This factory is the result of a strategic partnership between Stania and Asahi Solder. The production facility is designed to support tin processing in Indonesia so that it is not only exported as raw material, but also becomes a finished product with higher economic value.
Currently, the factory in Batam has an initial production capacity of 2,000 tons per year. The main focus of the factory's operations is producing solder bars, which are essential components widely used in the electronics industry and technology device assembly.
The presence of this factory is expected to strengthen Indonesia's position in the global tin industry supply chain. Furthermore, this project serves as proof of the private sector's seriousness in supporting government policies to advance the national manufacturing sector.
Moving forward, the development of this factory is expected to create more job opportunities for the local community in Batam. This step is an important part of Indonesia's efforts to become a major player in the metal downstreaming industry in the Southeast Asian region.
