Under the new investment, GYS’s hot rolling mill will undergo a complete upgrade. The modernization includes a new reheating furnace, enhanced drives, reverse tandem systems, improved descaling solutions and advanced L1/L2 automation technologies. These upgrades aim to ensure more stable operations, reduce production interruptions, expand capacity and increase energy efficiency.
Capacity to increase from 400 thousand to 540 thousand tons, exceeding 1 million tons in total
GYS President Tony Taniwan emphasized that the modernization isn't only a technical upgrade but also a strategic step that significantly increases capacity and product diversity. “Our transformation at the BP-1 facility focuses on large structural profile products such as IWF, Elbow, U-Channel and Sheet Pile. We will increase our production capacity from 400 thousand tons to 540 thousand tons per year. This expansion will also create 800 additional jobs.”
The expansion doesn't cover only a single line.Highlighting the integration of upstream and downstream facilities within the group, Taniwan noted that GYS’s total installed capacity will exceed 1 million tons per year, and stated, “With integration from upstream to downstream, the total capacity of GYS Group will increase to more than 1 million tons. This further strengthens our position as a key supplier of raw materials for national infrastructure projects.”
Full capacity targeted for the fourth quarter of 2027
The investment project in Cikarang is progressing with a phased schedule and said that the installation process is being closely monitored. Highlighting that the project is advancing as planned with the contribution of international technology partners, Taniwan emphasized, “The installation process will be carried out step by step until commercial tests. Our target for completion and full operational capacity is the fourth quarter of 2027. Together with SMS group, we ensure that all stages are conducted on time and according to the highest safety standards.”
GYS: “This investment isn't only capacity expansion but a strategy to create greater value”
The company defines the project not merely as an investment that increases production capacity, but also as a strategic transformation that enables entry into previously untapped market segments.
Taniwan emphasized that GYS has maintained a strong market foundation for many years, stating, “As a company that has long operated in the steel industry, we hold a solid position particularly in structural steel products. With this transformation, our goal is not only to increase market share, but to create greater value and provide solutions for more complex market demands.”
With its new product range and increased capacity, GYS aims to play a more active role in Indonesia’s industrial zones, transportation infrastructures and large scale public projects.
