Amid a slowdown in the national cement market, PT Solusi Bangun\nIndonesia Tbk has reported its financial performance. Data from the\nAll-Indonesia Cement Producers Association (ASPERSSI) indicates that\nnational cement production volume for 2025 fell by around 4.5% from 67.8\nmillion tonnes to 64.7 million tonnes. In line with this, domestic\ncement sales also declined by approximately 1.5%.<\/p>\n
This slowdown was influenced by weakened consumer purchasing power,\nhigh rainfall delaying construction activities, and the deceleration of\nseveral infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, the national cement industry\ncontinues to face challenges from excess production capacity,\nintensifying competition in the domestic market.<\/p>\n
Responding to the 2025 business landscape, PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia\nTbk\u2019s President Director, Rizki Kresno Edhie Hambali, stated on Monday\n(30\/3) that 2025 marked a momentum for transformation in synergy with\nits parent company, SIG, to strengthen resilience amid industry\npressures.<\/p>\n
As part of PT Semen Indonesia Tbk, SIG implemented a transformation\nstrategy focused on optimising operational excellence, enhancing\nmarketing and sales management, and cost efficiency programmes across\nvarious lines to maintain fundamentals and profitability amid industry\npressures.<\/p>\n
The transformation strategy, consistently implemented since the\nsecond half of 2025, enabled Solusi Bangun Indonesia to record cement\nand clinker sales volume of 12.1 million tonnes and revenue of Rp10.7\ntrillion. Cost of goods sold was Rp8.32 trillion, EBITDA reached Rp1.87\ntrillion, and profit for the period amounted to Rp659 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the operational excellence front, we improved production\nefficiency, optimised energy use, and alternative fuels. Meanwhile,\nmarketing and sales management focused on strengthening the brand and\ndistribution channels, particularly in high-margin areas. These\nstrategies were reinforced by cost efficiency programmes for measured\ncost control and reduced financial burdens,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
According to Rizki, the disciplined efficiency programmes contributed\nto a 34.8% reduction in financial burdens compared to the previous year.\nStrengthening the capital structure and accelerating loan repayments\ndemonstrate the company\u2019s resilience in maintaining balance sheet health\nand liquidity. In synergy with SIG, the company is optimistic about\nsustaining growth momentum through strategic initiatives and\ninnovations.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne such strategic step is the development project for a dock and\nproduction facilities for cement exports in Tuban, East Java, which is\npart of the company\u2019s strategic cooperation with Taiheiyo Cement\nCorporation. With export capacity of 500,000 to 1 million tonnes of\ncement, this facility is targeted to commence operations in mid-2026,\u201d\nhe stated.<\/p>\n
Rizki added that, besides exports, the strategic cooperation with\nTaiheiyo also involves developing the soil stabilisation business line\nto address challenges in the construction industry while creating new\nmarkets to unlock growth opportunities.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/amid-industry-pressures-pt-solusi-bangun-indonesia-records-profit-of-rp659-billion-1774882348", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
