Since 1990, Fire Suppression Systems has been around in Indonesia, but all products were imported mainly from USA and UK. Until now, we still importing the whole complete set from abroad, thinking that we may not be able to create our own product.
But we try to change the rules of engagement here. We’re developing our own product based on our experience in Fire Suppression Systems. We know that somehow, someday, we should be able to create/produce it in Indonesia, so we set our vision to make it our own product.
Probably you would know that the automotive industry in Indonesia also start from the same point. The main engine is still imported, but the rest of the accessories such as the body, door, lamp, color painting, tyre, and many other parts are produced locally.
We are doing the same thing, we still importing the main engine (the cylinder valve & actuation) from Europe, but the biggest component, which is the cylinder are made locally, since we already have a good quality steel manufacturer in Indonesia, such as Krakatau Steel, it is such as waste that we have to import those cylinder from abroad.
Off course, we will have to follow the rules of quality product. So for the cylinder, we create it based on the high pressure cylinder specification, following the local jurisdiction.
In the future, we will hope to be able to create more component locally.
The 1st Fire Suppression Systems Made in Indonesia is born. PT Mitra Handal Roropitu will be the 1st manufacturer of the systems.
Best Regards,
The management of PT Mitra Handal Roropitu
