On 12 February 2026, Tatalogam Group had the honor of welcoming Fajarini Puntodewi, S.H., M.Si., Director General of National Export Development at the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia. The visit was an important occasion for the group, bringing senior government leadership directly to the heart of the company's operations to see first-hand the products, processes, and people behind Indonesia's growing steel exports. Such visits help build the close working relationship between industry and government that is essential to opening and sustaining access to international markets.

The visit also served as the symbolic inauguration of the export of PT Tatalogam Lestari and Tata Metal products to the United States market — a moment that underscores the growing role of Indonesian manufacturing on the world stage. Marking the occasion with the presence of the Director General of National Export Development sent a clear signal of confidence: that Indonesian steel is ready to compete internationally, and that the nation's export-development agenda and the ambitions of its leading manufacturers are firmly aligned.

National products competing globally

This milestone affirms that national industrial products are able to compete and earn trust in the global market, even in highly competitive segments where buyers can choose from established producers around the world. Backed by a strong commitment to quality and innovation, Tata Metal Lestari continues to advance into the international arena, steadily widening its footprint and demonstrating that products made in Indonesia can meet the exacting expectations of customers abroad.

Supported by the Ministry of Trade and strategic partners, the company remains focused on expanding its export footprint while upholding the standards that have earned the confidence of customers at home and abroad. By combining government support with private-sector capability, visits like this one help turn individual shipments into lasting trade relationships — and help ensure that the success of one exporter contributes to the strength and reputation of Indonesian industry as a whole.
