Spreading Wings in Eastern Indonesia, Spindo Opens New Depo in Makassar
PT Steel Pipe Industry of Indonesia Tbk or Spindo held the grand opening of the Makassar Spindo Depot on Jalan Insinyur Sutami, Kelurahan Parangloe, Kecamatan Tamalanrea, Kota Makassar, Sulawesi Selatan (Sulsel) Thursday (15/6/2023). The event was attended directly by Vice President of Spindo Tedja Sukmana Hudianto and several invited guests. Tedja said, the presence of the Makassar Spindo Depot aims to get closer to consumers in Eastern Indonesia, especially in Makassar and its surroundings. "The point is that we want to get closer to consumers, both large and medium and small consumers. We also want to strengthen the (company's) branding," he said. In addition, said Tedja, the presence of the Makassar Spindo Depot also aims to make consumers more aware of the advantages of Spindo products.
That way, they can be more confident in buying Spindo products. "Sometimes consumers don't really understand about pipes so with our presence here, they can visit and see firsthand. If you can't do it in Surabaya, at most once a month, "he said. The presence of Depo Spindo Makassar is also a manifestation of the company's commitment in providing better and faster service, especially in the delivery process. "Second, we can serve small purchases that we cannot supply from Surabaya," he said. In more detail, Tedja revealed the advantages of Spindo products. One is to have a stronger product because it contains titanium. "The advantages of our product materials contain titanium and our hollow products are much stronger than products sold by competitors," he said.
Therefore, Tedja hopes that the presence of the Makassar Spindo Depot will be able to contribute to the development in Eastern Indonesia, especially in Makassar. "We hope to contribute more to Makassar and surrounding areas. Moreover, Makassar is currently developing many new projects," he said.
Meanwhile, one of Spindo's customers, Apiu Darmanto, admitted that the opening of the Makassar Spindo Depot was very helpful in purchasing products. Moreover, the products presented are complete.

But if the message at the distributor is also not as complete as the one here (Depo Spindo Makassar)," he explained.
The President Director of PT Jaya Karya Makassar, who has been a Spindo consumer for 5 years, also said that in addition to complete products, Spindo products also have excellent quality "Very complete, starting from pipes, quality hollows, everything is from small to large sizes, all complete and quality, nothing foolish.
