With three decades of continuous innovation, this exhibition focuses on the transformation of the industry toward a more advanced, sustainable, and efficient future.
Realizing Transformation Over Three Decades
Since its inception, Manufacturing Indonesia has been a strategic platform for innovators, industry players, and policymakers to accelerate the development of the manufacturing sector. This year, the exhibition highlights the adoption of digital technologies, sustainability, and cross-sector collaboration as key pillars to enhance competitiveness.
Meysia Stephannie, Portfolio Director of PT Pamerindo Indonesia, shared, “It is an honor for us to be part of the manufacturing industry’s journey over the past 35 years. This year’s theme emphasizes our commitment to continuing as a relevant platform that drives innovation and collaboration. We hope this exhibition will inspire businesses, from large enterprises to SMEs, to be more resilient in facing the opportunities and challenges of the future.”
Government Support for a Competitive Manufacturing Future
According to the Central Statistics Agency, the manufacturing sector contributed 19.02% to the national economy in Q3 2024, with a growth rate of 4.72% year-on-year. This achievement highlights the resilience of the national industry amid global challenges and the importance of strategic policies, such as increasing the use of domestically produced goods.
Yan Sibarang Tandiele, Director of Machinery and Agricultural Machinery at the Ministry of Industry, RI, stated, “With the increasing domestic and export demand in sectors like food & beverages, metal building materials, and electronics components, the manufacturing industry has achieved the highest growth contribution to the national economy, at 0.96% year-on-year in the third quarter of this year. We continue to drive and facilitate pro-industry policies to strengthen the national industrial structure, increase the added value of local products, and reduce dependence on imports. This exhibition is expected to be a strategic platform for industry players to accelerate transformation, while solidifying the manufacturing sector as the main pillar of Indonesia’s economy.”
