BP Batam fully encourages and supports value-added manufacturing investments that are relevant to Batam amidst geopolitical changes and global supply chain shifts.<\/p>\n
This was affirmed by the Deputy for Investment and Business Development of BP Batam, Fary Djemy Francis, when attending the tin solder export release activity by PT Solder Tin Andalan Indonesia in the Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, Nongsa, on Thursday (12\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
The momentum of these export releases comes amid the strengthening Batam economy. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Batam's economic growth was recorded at 7.49 percent year-on-year. This achievement shows that Batam continues to demonstrate resilience and competitiveness as a strategic industrial, trade, and investment region in western Indonesia.<\/p>\n
In his remarks, Fary Djemy Francis said that Batam needs to keep encouraging investment that doesn't stop at facility construction, but truly moves to the production, downstreaming, and export stages.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmidst geopolitical shifts and global supply chain realignments, Batam must position itself as an adaptive, efficient, and export-ready industrial base. The strengthening economic growth momentum needs to be translated into tangible, value-added industrial expansion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The activity centres on the send-off ceremony for the shipment of solder tin produced in Batam for the Indian market. This agenda reflects Batam's growing ability to attract investment that is not only present on paper but also capable of moving into the production stage and penetrating international markets.<\/p>\n
PT Solder Tin Andalan Indonesia, or STANIA, is a company involved in the tin downstreaming sector and is part of the development of value-added industry in Batam.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe presence of this company reflects the growth of downstream manufacturing activities that support the strengthening of the regional industrial structure, while also expanding Batam's connectivity with global supply chains, particularly in the manufacturing and electronics sectors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Director of PT Solder Tin Andalan Indonesia, An Sadiano, expressed his appreciation for BP Batam's support for the development of downstream industrial investment in Batam.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe express our gratitude for BP Batam's support, which has provided attention and encouragement for the development of our industry. This support is an important part of building a conducive business climate, enabling companies to grow, produce, and contribute to strengthening exports from Batam,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For BP Batam, this export release is not merely a corporate ceremony. This activity marks the conversion of downstream investment in Batam into real production, added value, and international market access.<\/p>\n
This is important in building Batam's credibility as an area that is not only attractive to investors but also capable of executing investments in a tangible way.<\/p>\n
The presence of industries such as STANIA also strengthens Batam's position as a competitive production base. Proximity to Singapore, the maturity of industrial areas, and logistical connectivity are advantages that make Batam increasingly relevant amidst global companies which are now highly selective in choosing investment and production locations.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, BP Batam views downstreaming projects like this as one of the main foundations for strengthening Batam's competitiveness. Amidst increasingly fierce regional competition, investments that can generate added value, expand exports, and create real economic activity will be crucial determinants of Batam's sustainable growth.
