Amid Industry Pressures, PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Records Profit of Rp659 Billion
Amid a slowdown in the national cement market, PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk has reported its financial performance. Data from the All-Indonesia Cement Producers Association (ASPERSSI) indicates that national cement production volume for 2025 fell by around 4.5% from 67.8 million tonnes to 64.7 million tonnes. In line with this, domestic cement sales also declined by approximately 1.5%.
This slowdown was influenced by weakened consumer purchasing power, high rainfall delaying construction activities, and the deceleration of several infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, the national cement industry continues to face challenges from excess production capacity, intensifying competition in the domestic market.
Responding to the 2025 business landscape, PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk’s President Director, Rizki Kresno Edhie Hambali, stated on Monday (30/3) that 2025 marked a momentum for transformation in synergy with its parent company, SIG, to strengthen resilience amid industry pressures.
As part of PT Semen Indonesia Tbk, SIG implemented a transformation strategy focused on optimising operational excellence, enhancing marketing and sales management, and cost efficiency programmes across various lines to maintain fundamentals and profitability amid industry pressures.
The transformation strategy, consistently implemented since the second half of 2025, enabled Solusi Bangun Indonesia to record cement and clinker sales volume of 12.1 million tonnes and revenue of Rp10.7 trillion. Cost of goods sold was Rp8.32 trillion, EBITDA reached Rp1.87 trillion, and profit for the period amounted to Rp659 billion.
“On the operational excellence front, we improved production efficiency, optimised energy use, and alternative fuels. Meanwhile, marketing and sales management focused on strengthening the brand and distribution channels, particularly in high-margin areas. These strategies were reinforced by cost efficiency programmes for measured cost control and reduced financial burdens,” he explained.
According to Rizki, the disciplined efficiency programmes contributed to a 34.8% reduction in financial burdens compared to the previous year. Strengthening the capital structure and accelerating loan repayments demonstrate the company’s resilience in maintaining balance sheet health and liquidity. In synergy with SIG, the company is optimistic about sustaining growth momentum through strategic initiatives and innovations.
“One such strategic step is the development project for a dock and production facilities for cement exports in Tuban, East Java, which is part of the company’s strategic cooperation with Taiheiyo Cement Corporation. With export capacity of 500,000 to 1 million tonnes of cement, this facility is targeted to commence operations in mid-2026,” he stated.
Rizki added that, besides exports, the strategic cooperation with Taiheiyo also involves developing the soil stabilisation business line to address challenges in the construction industry while creating new markets to unlock growth opportunities.
