Logistics group Deswik has opened its newest office in Jakarta, Indonesia, expanding its global footprint.
Supported by a local consulting team, this fortified in-country presence reflects Deswik’s long‑term commitment to Indonesia and focus on delivering practical technical software and consulting solutions, shaped by real‑world mining experience.
“Local presence is essential for Deswik in Indonesia,” said Ben Farquharson, Territory Manager and Business Development Lead for the Asia region.
“The mining industry here is large, widely dispersed and historically underserved by remote support models. Establishing a Jakarta office and expanding our team in Indonesia ensures we can provide consistent, trusted and long‑term support for our customers.”
Several new Jakarta-based team members across consulting, business development and technical services have joined Deswik – a Sandvik company – in the Sandvik office.
“We welcome the Deswik team into Jakarta,” said Teguh Kurniawan, Territory Manager for Indonesia. “We have a large customer base that we are serving in surface and underground operations that will benefit from this dedicated local support with Deswik.
“Our Indonesian customers are always looking for ways to increase production or reduce costs, or both, in their operations, therefore being able to support a global product locally is great and well-received.”
“A dedicated local team is crucial to supporting Deswik’s customers in Indonesia,” Farquharson said. “The team we have assembled brings deep local experience and all are highly regarded in the region.”
The Deswik Indonesia team will work closely with Deswik’s global network of more than 200 mining engineers and specialists, enabling seamless end‑to‑end support across mine design, planning, optimization, scheduling, survey and environmental workflows.
This integrated approach provides Indonesia’s mining companies with access to a software ecosystem and consulting capability that is industry-proven and continuously evolving in partnership with customers.
In related company news, Deswik said it will host its first dedicated Deswik Exchange event in Jakarta on April 16. The event will bring customers, technical leaders and industry partners from across Asia together, to highlight this region’s diverse mining community and showcase Deswik’s end‑to‑end planning capabilities in the region.
The conference will feature technical presentations, hands‑on discussions, networking opportunities and expert insights from the Deswik Indonesian team.
