The event to release the export of PT KBI’s CRC products to Spain took place in Cilegon, Banten, Thursday, September 25.
One of the government representatives who attended was the Director General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation Equipment and Electronics (ILMATE) of the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) Setia Diarta.
The man who akrap called Tata said PT KBI also contributed to the positive performance of the national base metal industry.
Throughout 2025, the company has exported 62,000 tons of CRC products to various countries, including the United States, Poland and Spain.
According to Tata, the export performance shows the toughness of Indonesia’s manufacturing industry, especially the steel industry in penetrating the international market. At the same time, it shows that Indonesian steel products have great opportunities and are able to compete in the global arena.
This CRC export also shows a strong synergy between PT KBI as a steel mill industry with PT Krakatau Steel as a provider of upstream raw materials.
“This collaboration reflects the strength of the domestic steel industry ecosystem in response to global demand,” Tata said in a written statement, quoted Friday, September 26.
Based on data from the World Steel Association in 2024, Indonesia occupies the 14th position in world crude steel production with an achievement of 17 million tons.
This figure increased 98.5 percent compared to 2019, which at that time only produced 8.5 million tons.
“Currently, the national crude steel capacity reaches 21 million tons and is targeted to increase to 27 million tons by 2029. This shows Indonesia’s optimism and expansionary steps in strengthening competitiveness at the global level,” he said.
Tata emphasized the importance of sustainability and innovation for the national steel industry. Given, the iron and steel industry has a crucial role in strengthening the national economy through the creation of added value and an integrated upstream-downstream ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the President Director of PT KBI Arief Purnomo said that the success of exports was the result of the company’s commitment to maintaining product and service quality.

According to Arief, the export market in the future will be one of the sales strengths for the company.
