There has been a consistently growing need for steel products from Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia recently. And Baowu Special steel was fortunate to fulfill an order from the Indonesia not long ago. A 90 tons shipment featuring stainless steel plates got discharged at the Port of Tanjung Priok in early October! And we have received very positive feedback from the client speaking highly of the quality of the plates as well as the professionalism and considerateness from the company throughout the order fulfillment process.
As the largest economy of ASEAN, Indonesia is similar to countries like Vietnam and Thailand in terms of both economic environment and industrial structure. Indonesia covers an area of 1,913,578 square kilometers and is composed of approximately 17,500 islands. It is the largest archipelagic country in the world, spanning Asia and Oceania. With a population of 276 million, it is the fourth most populous country in the world after India, China, and the US. Indonesia is highly developed in many labor-intensive industries such as agriculture, textile, clothing, toys, leather, furniture and other manufacturing industries, largely owing to its cheap labor cost and sufficient labor resource. In addition, it also includes some traditional service industries, which mainly rely on labor in the production process and are more sensitive to labor costs.
This order placed by our Indonesian client features the 2507 duplex stainless steel plate, which is a special ferritic-austenitic duplex stainless steel plate with excellent corrosion resistance. It achieves comprehensive protection against point corrosion, crevice corrosion and uniform corrosion through the unique ratio of chromium and molybdenum elements. The duplex construction of 2507 stainless steel gives it excellent resistance in the face of stress corrosion cracking. Cracks are an inevitable problem in construction and other related fields, and 2507 stainless steel exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in an environment containing chloride ions, which makes it ideal for construction and related industries. In addition to its excellent corrosion resistance, 2507 stainless steel also has excellent mechanical properties. It has high compressive strength, impact strength and low coefficient of thermal expansion, which makes it widely used in oil and gas industry, water treatment, fire protection, desalination equipment, mechanical parts and fuel gas purification equipment.
As a matter of fact, the scale of bilateral trade between China and Indonesia continues to expand in 2024. Indonesia's rich natural resources, such as coal, palm oil, rubber, nickel ore, etc., are continuously exported to China, satisfying the Chinese domestic market's demand for raw materials. At the same time, mechanical and electrical products, electronic products, and metal products from China are also very popular in the Indonesian market. From January to July 2024, the total trade value between China and Indonesia was 572.04 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.1%. Among them, the total value of China's exports to Indonesia were 295.07 billion yuan; its imports from Indonesia were 276.97 billion yuan.
