| Our journey started in the
middle of 19th century when the Government of Indonesia decided to merge
three Dutch companies, NV - De Bromo, NV - De Industrie and NV - De Vulkan
into one big company known as PT. Boma Bisma Indra.
PT. Boma Bisma Indra abbreviated
as BBI is the pioneer in Indonesian Industry and serves as the backbone
of heavy industry. At the beginning, BBI manufactured engines and equipment
for agro industry in coffee, tea, rubber and sugar cane plantations. This
new company has come through history with the pain and struggle of independence
fight, and then developed step by step.
On August 30, 1971 BBI officially
founded and soon prepared itself to make a giant step in a journey through
history to become a leader in business and technology. We decided to expand
our boundaries, in various business areas, to strengthen our domination
in technology and engineering by making a technology transfer through cooperation
and license agreement with well known companies in the world.
Our first most important step
was a license agreement with Stork Werkspoor Sugar - Holland in 1974.
From this point, BBI learned
to develop its ability in designing, manufacturing and completing construction
of sugar factory, palm oil, steam boiler and pressure vessel.
Next step was a license agreement
with Klockner Humbolt Deutz - Germany in manufacturing of diesel engines
in 1977.
This agreement set a wonderful
course to BBI as a company that develops its strength and ability in energy
conversion technology.
To anticipate fast movement
of energy sector nowadays, quality demand and effort to make a breakthrough
in technology, BBI made an expansion in diesel engine plant and industrial
equipment plant equipped with flexible manufacturing system or precise
machinery.
This effort combined with
human resources has developed aggressively through various training domestic
and abroad and scholarship to our competent employees. Those changes have
been transforming BBI into a modern company featured with technology, equipment
along with well trained, motivated and professional human resources.
In the year 1989, Indonesian
Government included BBI as a member of Indonesia's Strategic Industry.
As such BBI was getting full patronage from various Government Ministries
like Industry, Finance, Planning, etc. Hence, being a strategic industry
made BBI a strong organization.
BBI has grown rapidly and
recently becomes a single management coordination focusing on every technology
development, i.e. power generator, automotive application, pump set, earth
moving machinery, agro based industry and more. We can handle from design,
manufacture, and up to construction.
To reach a vision in an industry
which is getting more and more competitive, BBI is making a continuous
perfection in operation, business and management, with every partner possible. |
