Indobuild Tech 2024 Is Here, And Tatalogam Is Rolling Out Some Cool Lightweight Steel Innovations Aimed At GenZ

Kicking off from August 7 to 11, 2024, the biggest Building Material, Architecture & Interior exhibition in Indonesia, Indo Build Tech Expo part 2, officially opened on Wednesday (07/08/2024). This 25th edition is taking place at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) in BSD City, Tangerang, Banten, featuring 500 national and international brands from countries like China, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

One of the standout national companies at the event is PT Tatalogam Lestari (Tatalogam Group). This time around, the steel company, known for its global market reach, is showcasing its latest products under the name Nexgen.

Stephanus Koeswandi, the Vice President of PT Tatalogam Lestari, explained that Nexgen is a collection of building materials produced using next-generation technology. The Nexgen lineup includes fire-resistant products like Domus Fastrac, Purlin, Sakura Roku, Ondulit, Toho, S Gutter, and Speed Panel.

These metal-based products are designed for both residential and industrial use, aiming to meet the building material needs of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, helping their generation lead Indonesia to its golden age.

“Our Nexgen products are created using innovative technologies sourced from Japan, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. We’ve brought these technologies to Indonesia and applied them to metals produced by Tata Metal Lestari, like Nexalume and Nexium, resulting in building materials that are lighter, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing—exactly what Gen Z and Gen Alpha need to achieve Indonesia's golden future,” Stephanus shared with reporters on Wednesday (07/08/2024).

Stephanus explained that the technologies they gathered to produce Nexgen products are being brought to Indonesia through joint ventures or other mechanisms. This is expected to encourage new investments in the country, ultimately leading to the creation of new jobs for the Indonesian people and boosting the national economy. Additionally, this technology aims to make construction processes in Indonesia more environmentally friendly. With these advancements, the waste generated at construction sites will be reduced since most materials are prefabricated and only need to be installed on-site. "Alongside hosting a seminar to introduce Nexgen products, we are also signing an MoU with a Japanese company today. We hope that resource sharing and technology transfer like this will support the advancement of building materials in Indonesia. We can't do this alone; we need to collaborate with parties that can help us progress in construction. The goal is to attract new investments that will positively impact the national economy," Stephanus added. Earlier, in a virtual address, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, expressed strong support for this initiative, emphasizing that it allows professionals and industry players to showcase advancements in the construction and infrastructure sectors. "This event serves as a platform for professionals and industry players to promote progress in construction and infrastructure. We invite everyone to embrace the spirit of 3G (Get Moving, Get Going, and Get It Done) to revive the national economy through tourism and the creative economy in Indonesia," he stated.
