PT. Lamipak Primula Indonesia

Packaging is a key factor in the product life cycle and has significant contribution for the value of the product. We at PT. Lamipak Primula Indonesia, as one of the biggest tube packaging manufacturer in Indonesia, arecompletely aware of the importance of our products. Hence, every year we always put all efforts to improve our operational excellence, expand our capabilities, sharpen our skills and know how in the tube packaging business.

These what we have done in 2015 and as a result, we have achieved positive growth in our business performance. Despite tough and challenging business environment in 2015, we have successfully booked more than 18% growth in our turnover. Our manufacturing capabilities have been developed to provide enhanced products with more variances to fulfill rising demand from our customers for better and more attractive packaging with higher quality. At the end of the day, consumers as the end user will enjoy better value of the products they use.

It was not an easy journey at all for us in 2015. Foreign exchange rate has achieved the highest rate during the past 10 years, with more than 18% swing during the year. Definitely, it had direct impact to us in the packaging industry where all material and machine cost depend on the forex rate. Moreover, minimum wage was also increased more than 23% which gave significant effect to our operational costs. In this situation, we have to work smarter to overcome the challenges and keep moving ahead.

We are preparing for even more challenging and exciting year in 2016. Our customer will be more demanding. Product complexity and quality standard will be higher. Product life cycle will be faster, means that new products must be launched in the market quicker. Market will be more dynamic which will impact on the demand fluctuation. Hence, we have expanded our manufacturing facilities in 2015 which will continue in 2016 and added necessary infrastructure and supporting units, including warehouse facility to accommodate higher demand. We hope that the overall economic situation will be better in 2016 which may stimulate growth in the consumer goods business. Therefore, we will continue to equip ourselves and keep updated with the new development in the tube packaging technology to sustain our position as the major tube producer in the region.

I thank to all of our customers, suppliers, shareholders and employees for the continuous support in 2015 and we are gearing up to continue the journey in 2016 with confidence to conquer upcoming challenges…
