The IndoBuildTech Expo is Indonesia’s largest and most anticipated full-scale exhibition, focusing on building materials, architecture, and interior design. Dorian's team attended the event with the primary objectives of exploring new market trends, networking with existing clients, and identifying potential business opportunities. The expo this year featured over 400 exhibitors from various sectors of the construction industry and attracted thousands of visitors each day.
During the five-day exhibition, Dorian’s booth received inquiries from over 300 visitors interested in steel structure buildings and prefab houses.
On the second day of the exhibition, Dorian had a productive meeting with one of our clients in Indonesia. The client’s engineer visited our booth and engaged in a detailed discussion with Dorian engineers regarding the design and feasibility of their upcoming project.
Following the exhibition, Dorian's team was invited to visit a client’s logistics industrial zone. During this visit, Dorian and the client discussed future building plans and potential cooperation opportunities. After the discussion, client invited Dorian team visit their warehouse and steel structure prefabrication workshop. While touring the client’s workshop, Dorian found they still use manual, outdated and low efficient production equipment. Dorian showed them the advance automatic production line in our factory and projects built in Southeast Asia area, offering them high quality prefabricated steel structure, which can help reduce costs and shorten installation periods. The client was very pleased to have connected with Dorian at the Expo and expressed interest in visiting Dorian’s factory in the future.
By conversation with clients, studying Jakarta City's architecture industry and consulting with steel structure practitioners, Dorian identified a growing demand for prefabricated steel structures in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, presenting a significant opportunity for expansion. However, the difficulty in obtaining import licenses for steel may pose a challenge. Dorian will help customers find a viable solution.
Overall, our participation in IndoBuildTech 2024 was highly beneficial, providing valuable industry trends insights, potential new partnerships, and opportunities for business growth.
