New Tenant – TRUMPF

GERMANews

One of the newest tenants in the German Centre Indonesia is the well known German company TRUMPF. The TRUMPF Group ranks among the leading manufacturing companies worldwide with more than 8,000 employees and is organized in three divisions: Machine Tools and Power Tools, Laser Technology and Electronics, as well as Medical Technology. TRUMPF production sites are located in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, China, UK, Poland, Japan, Mexico and the USA.

The TRUMPF Group has been in South East Asia since the end of the 1980s: first in Singapore, then in Malaysia. The group entered the Indonesian market in 1997 with a Joint Venture with PT. Guna Elektro: “Duta Laserindo Metal” (DLM). This so-called “Job Shop” manufactured sheet metal components on order for other companies. So manufacturing, with modern CNC machines, was made available for the Indonesian market.

Despite the Asian Crisis, TRUMPF stayed active in Indonesia. After the 2004 Tsunami in Aceh, they conducted a disaster relief project, which provided drinking water treatment.

The German-Indonesian DLM became very successful over the years. However, in mid 2009 TRUMPF sold the shares of the joint-venture to PT Guna.  In parallel TRUMPF took over the business for sales and service of machine tools and laser products by establishing a 100% subsidiary of the TRUMPF Group, Germany. In October 2009 TRUMPF relocated to the German Centre Indonesia. So far Tangerang is the only location of TRUMPF in Indonesia. The office concentrates on the sales, distribution and services of their products (machine tools and laser technology) in Indonesia.

When Dr. Hans-Peter Laubscher, Managing Director - Asia Pacific, was asked “Why did you choose the German Centre Indonesia?” he gave more than one well justified answer:

- TRUMPF has had very positive experiences with German Centres before. They have been located in the German Centre Singapore since the mid 1990s. 

- Another reason he gave was a deep long-time connection between the German Centres and the TRUMPF Group: In the very beginning it was in fact Prof. Berthold Leibinger, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of TRUMPF, who had inspired the idea of creating German Centres for Industry and Trade in the world. Today Prof. Leibinger chairs the “Coordinating Committee German Centres for Industry and Trade” (representing German trade and industry) together with Ernst Pfister (Minister of Economics of the State of Baden-Württemberg, representing the German federal states).

- Furthermore he pointed out that the German Centre Indonesia was blessed with its good infrastructure and its strategic location.
