Bangka Island, Indonesia · 2015 Cassava(mandioca, yuca) Starch Plant Turnkey Greenfield Project
2015 · Bangka Island, Indonesia
Built as a state-of-the-art greenfield facility on Bangka Island, Indonesia, this project represents a masterclass in strategic business diversification for a major Indonesian conglomerate. By providing an end-to-end modern production line—from initial site layout to process engineering—we helped the group successfully enter the high-margin agricultural processing sector, creating a benchmark model for efficient industrial investment.
Local Context & Investment Strategy
The client is a highly successful, multi-industry Indonesian conglomerate with a vast portfolio spanning highways, elevated bridges, modern farming, textile manufacturing, and the coffee industry. Seeking to expand into high-yield sectors, the group conducted extensive market research on the cassava(mandioca, yuca) starch industry and inspected several operational factories. Recognizing the immense potential of value-added agricultural processing, they chose to partner with us to build a flagship facility from the ground up.
The Challenges We Face
Establishing a brand-new processing plant on an island presents unique logistical and engineering challenges. The client demanded international standards of construction, high-level automation, strict environmental compliance, and maximum operational efficiency from day one, requiring a highly optimized, comprehensive master plan rather than just equipment supply.
Our Solution
We delivered a complete, customized "turnkey" solution tailored to the geography and climate of Bangka Island. This included the master design of the entire factory grounds (optimizing warehouses, production zones, utilities, and wastewater treatment), a detailed layout of the machinery floor to ensure safe and easy maintenance, and an advanced, fully automated process line integrated with our proprietary extraction, refining, and flash-drying technologies.
Project Impact & Value: The factory was completed smoothly and commissioned successfully on its first run. It has since become a regional benchmark, praised for its stable operation, high product quality, and strict environmental standards. Serving as a prime example of the group's highly efficient diversification strategy, this "model factory" has been highlighted in the conglomerate's portfolio as an exemplary investment, establishing a strong foundation for their continued growth in the bio-industrial sector.
