Supporting Indonesian Industry with Apollo’s Industrial Cleaning Systems
At Apollo, we believe that true partnership goes beyond the sale of a machine. It’s about investing in our clients' success. That’s why we sent our Business Development Manager, Toma Skroza, on a multi-city tour of Indonesia last month. But Toma isn’t just a BDM, he’s a fully qualified chemical engineer with a deep passion for enhancing industrial efficiency. His mission was to put his expertise on the ground, deepening partnerships and providing hands-on support to some of the nation's biggest industrial players.
The Power of Local Partnership:
PT. Inter Prima Perkasa (IPP).
The cornerstone of our Indonesian presence is our invaluable local partner, PT. Inter Prima Perkasa (IPP). This strategic alliance is the bridge between our Australian engineering and the immediate needs of our Indonesian clients. For our clients, this partnership delivers tangible advantages that directly impact their bottom line:
Local Spare Parts: Access to a local inventory of critical components turns potential days of downtime into mere hours.
Rapid Technical Service: When maintenance is required, an expert technician is available in-country, ready to respond.
Deep Market Knowledge: IPP’s team understands the unique operational challenges and conditions of the local industry.
This is our solution to ensuring you get world-class quality without the delays of international support.
Strengthening Relationships with Industry Leaders
Accompanied by the expert team from IPP, Toma’s tour spanned from the mine sites of Balikpapan to the industrial centres of Batam and Jakarta.
By spending time on-site with industry giants like PT Trakindo Utama (Caterpillar) and Petrosea Tbk, we gained valuable insights into their day-to-day challenges. These visits, along with productive meetings with PT Altrak (Cummins) and the national railway operator PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), were about listening to our clients and reinforcing our commitment to keeping their fleets productive.
Showcasing Australian Excellence at Mining Indonesia 2025
A major highlight of the tour was our presence at the Mining Indonesia 2025 exhibition. The event was a buzzing hub of industry innovation, and we were incredibly proud to be featured within the prestigious Australian Pavilion. This provided a fantastic platform to showcase our Australian-made quality and engineering to a broad audience. The connections made on the exhibition floor were invaluable, and we thank Investment NSW and Austrade for their brilliant support in championing Australian manufacturing on the world stage.
A Commitment to Indonesian Industry
Toma’s trip reaffirmed a simple truth: the best business is done face-to-face. We know the mining and heavy industries don’t stop — and neither does our support. By being present, responsive, and technically capable, Apollo ensures our Indonesian clients can rely on us as true partners in their journey to achieve maximum operational reliability.
