Australia: Semen Padang, a subsidiary of Semen Indonesia, has started exporting cement to Australia. It delivered 22t of cement to Sydney on 21 February 2017 on the Meratus Minahasa V.1705S, according to the Jakarta Post. Commercial director Pudjo Suseno said that the shipment was made in response to demand from potential Australian buyers revealed at the end of 2016.

Indonesia: Semen Indonesia has reported US$1.13bn of revenue in the first half of 2014, a 12.8% year-on-year increase. During the first six months of 2013, revenues grew by 31.9% compared to 2012. The decelerated growth is attributed to reduced domestic demand, which is affecting the Indonesian cement industry as a whole.

Sales volumes in the first half of 2014 grew by 4.6% year-on-year to 12.8Mt. Semen Indonesia's subsidiary, Semen Gresik, contributed almost 54% of the sales volumes. Semen Padang accounted for 26% and Semen Tonasa contributed the remaining 20% of sales volumes. Net profit for the first six months of 2014 stood at US$46.9m, a 9.3% year-on-year increase, while higher expenses and foreign exchange losses contributed to higher costs. Semen Indonesia has forecast an 8% increase in revenue for the whole of 2014.

The latest statistics from the Indonesian Cement Association show a 4% increase in domestic cement consumption in the first half of 2014, lower than the 7.5% growth reported for the first half of 2013.

Indonesia: Semen Padang is preparing to build a new cement packing plant costing US$0.92m near Pulau Baai port in Bengkulu, said marketing director Benny Wendry.

"We have already earmarked US$0.92m to build a packing factory for Semen Padang near the Pualu Baai port in Bengkulu in 2014," said Wendry. However the project is still awaiting approval from the board of directors. Wendry added that the state-owned cement producer intends to start in early 2014 with completion scheduled for 2015. Once operational the plant will produce 300,000 sacks of cement per year.
