PT Krakatau Steel has entered into a long-term agreement with Kerismas Group for the supply of cold rolled coil (CRC), reinforcing its position as a key player in Indonesia’s steel industry and supporting downstream manufacturing growth.
The agreement marks a strategic partnership between the two companies, aimed at ensuring a stable and reliable supply of high-quality CRC products to meet increasing demand across various industrial sectors. CRC is widely used in applications such as automotive components, appliances, construction materials, and precision engineering, making it a critical input for value-added manufacturing.
Under the terms of the agreement, PT Krakatau Steel will supply CRC products to Kerismas Group over an extended period, enabling both companies to align production planning and improve supply chain efficiency. The collaboration is expected to strengthen domestic industrial capabilities while reducing reliance on imported materials.
Company representatives highlighted that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting Indonesia’s industrial development agenda. By securing long-term supply arrangements, manufacturers can better manage cost volatility and maintain consistent production output in an increasingly competitive global environment.
The agreement also supports broader efforts to enhance local value creation within the steel ecosystem. By fostering closer collaboration between upstream producers and downstream processors, the partnership is expected to contribute to improved product quality, innovation, and operational efficiency.
PT Krakatau Steel continues to focus on expanding its product portfolio and improving manufacturing capabilities to meet evolving market requirements. The company has been investing in modernisation initiatives and process optimisation to enhance productivity and ensure compliance with international quality standards.
Kerismas Group, a key player in steel processing and distribution, is expected to benefit from a reliable supply of raw materials, enabling it to better serve customers across multiple sectors. The partnership will also support the company’s efforts to expand its market presence and strengthen relationships with industrial clients.
Industry observers note that long-term supply agreements such as this are becoming increasingly important as global supply chains face uncertainty and demand for high-quality steel products continues to grow. The collaboration between PT Krakatau Steel and Kerismas Group underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in building resilient supply chains and supporting sustainable industrial growth in Indonesia. Both companies expressed confidence that the agreement will deliver mutual benefits and contribute to the long-term development of the country’s manufacturing sector.
