SIG Exports 11,275 MT of Cement to France, Strengthening Global Market Position
Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) is strengthening its position in the global market by penetrating the European market through its maiden export of 11,275 metric tonnes (MT) of cement to Reunion Island, France.
SIG President Director Indrieffouny Indra stated in an official release in Jakarta on Tuesday that this export reflects the company’s commitment to expanding its market reach while creating long-term added value.
This step, according to him, is part of the state-owned company’s expansion strategy to enhance competitiveness and broaden its global market share.
The shipment was handled through Teluk Bayur Port by PT Semen Padang and represents the initial phase of a total planned export of 31,500 MT from May to July 2026.
“SIG’s initiative to provide environmentally friendly green cement serves as a competitive advantage for the company,” he said.
He noted that the CEM I 52.5 N type cement produced by SIG and exported to Reunion Island has successfully obtained the CE (Conformité Européenne) Marking, a mandatory indicator that the product meets the European Union’s standards for safety, health, and environmental protection.
He explained that Reunion Island, as part of French territory, is considered a potential market with high infrastructure growth prospects.
“In addition to strengthening the domestic market, SIG continues to maximise global market potential to improve production utilisation and performance growth, as well as to demonstrate the quality of SIG’s environmentally friendly products in contributing to sustainable development in various countries,” he said.
He stated that this export to Reunion Island is also part of SIG’s transformation strategy to increase production utilisation and expand markets.
In its implementation, the company is partnering with strategic allies focused on providing sustainable solutions, particularly products with low carbon emissions.
He hopes that this collaboration can serve as the foundation for long-term partnerships in supporting the supply of high-quality construction materials for sustainable development in the global market.
