In this article, we investigate the Indonesia bitumen supplier and the global bitumen market.
Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, located in Southeast Asia and North Oceania. Indonesia consumes about 1,200,000 tons of bitumen annually, while the domestic production of this country is about 600,000 tons per year. As a result, the rest of the country’s needs are provided through imports.
Since one of the best quality bitumen in the world is Middle East bitumen, so the Middle East is one of the most important exporters and producers of bitumen. Currently, our company is one of the largest suppliers of bitumen and petrochemical products in the Middle East. We can supply bitumen to all over the world including East Asia and countries like Indonesia.
We provide bitumen from valid refineries and send it in different grades and packages according to your order.
Stay with us until the end of the article for more information about the Indonesian bitumen market and how to cooperate with our company.
Bitumen Production in Indonesia
The Cilacap refinery is the only refinery for bitumen production in Indonesia, which was built and is operated by the National Oil Company of Indonesia.
Cilacap Company focuses on the production of bitumen products for road construction applications. The product of this company is suitable for the tropical climate of Indonesia, and it is mostly used in road construction in the country.
Indonesia Bitumen Exports
