Why Sandmaster also produces in Indonesia
Those who develop and produce in industry today are under pressure:
costs, quality, service, and availability must all be right at the same time.
This is precisely why Sandmaster decided on a new path over 15 years ago.
Without compromising on process reliability, engineering excellence, service, and quality.
The challenge as a Swiss SME was clear:
How can high-quality blasting systems continue to be produced economically when manufacturing costs rise, the Swiss franc strengthens, markets stagnate, and international competition increases?
And above all:
how can Sandmaster further develop the standards that customers expect?
The answer was a second production site in Indonesia.
Partner Erwin Spichtig recognized early on in America and Asia how crucial engineering expertise, trust, and a strong cross-cultural network are. His goal: to position Sandmaster successfully worldwide: “with Swiss quality, but international openness.”
Since 2010, Sandmaster has been manufacturing standard systems and, today, semi-automated solutions in BSD City (Tangerang, Indonesia). Efficient, cost-optimized, and with clearly defined quality standards.
Alongside support and engineering for simpler projects in Indonesia, project management as well as the development and engineering of complex systems remain in Switzerland.
This creates a synergy that combines the strengths of both locations: Swiss engineering expertise meets international production structures.
For customers, this means:
economically attractive solutions
reliable availability
globally supported service for surfaces that last
For Sandmaster, it means:
- international market proximity and a service center for Asia
- targeted use of synergies in engineering, IT, sub-assembly, and procurement
- scalable production with clear quality leadership
And: Sandmaster systems remain clearly recognizable worldwide. Thought out down to the last detail, process-reliable, functional, and aesthetic.
Erwin Spichtig puts it in a nutshell: “Even an engineer eats with their eyes.”
The move to Indonesia was not a compromise.
But rather a conscious decision for future viability.
Think globally. Strengthen locally. Take responsibility.
Because true process reliability is created where engineering, production, service, and partnership interact – worldwide.
