Trans-Bakrie gets ISO

JAKARTA (JP): PT Trans-Bakrie, a part of the publicly listed PT Bakrie & Brothers, has received ISO 9002 certification from Bureau Veritas International (BVQI).

Trans-Bakrie said on Tuesday that the company, which is involved in engineering activities, was the last unit of the Bakrie group's infrastructure-related division, to receive an ISO 9002 certificate.

The company, a joint venture between Bakrie & Brothers and Transfield Pty. Ltd of Australia, said the ISO certification would enable it to expand its engineering services into more developed markets.

The company is also working on several steel fabrication and construction projects with local oil and gas companies.(hen)
