The visits provided opportunities to exchange insights into the companies’ activities and development in Indonesia, strengthen relationships with member companies, and explore potential areas for further cooperation.
Through its Member Visit program, AHK Indonesia/EKONID maintains direct contact with its members, gains first-hand insights into their business operations and priorities, and fosters dialogue across the German-Indonesian business community.
PT TÜV Rheinland Indonesia
AHK Indonesia/EKONID Executive Director Dr. Monika Erath and Head of Membership and Events Ms. Mei Tobing visited PT TÜV Rheinland Indonesia, where they met with Director Ms. Dian Soeminta and her team. The meeting provided an opportunity to learn more about the company’s activities in Indonesia and exchange perspectives on potential areas for collaboration.
TÜV Rheinland has been active in Indonesia since 1996, providing testing, inspection, certification, training, and technical consulting services across various industries. Its services support companies in meeting national and international standards, contributing to quality assurance, safety, and compliance across business operations.
With roots dating back to 1872, TÜV Rheinland began in Germany with independent steam boiler inspections. Headquartered in Cologne, the company has since grown into one of the world's leading independent providers of testing, inspection, certification, consulting, and training services.
The visit offered valuable insights into TÜV Rheinland’s work in Indonesia and the role of independent testing, inspection, and certification services in supporting businesses across industries. It also provided an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between AHK Indonesia/EKONID and its member company and discuss possibilities for future engagement.
PT Beiersdorf Indonesia
AHK Indonesia/EKONID Executive Director Dr. Monika Erath, Head of Legal & Investment Consultation Ms. Nurul Fatimah K., and Head of Membership and Events Ms. Mei Tobing visited PT Beiersdorf Indonesia, where they met with President Director Mr. Sawan Malik and General Counsel for Legal, Compliance and Government Relations Ms. Febriana Mustika.
The meeting provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on Beiersdorf’s activities and development in Indonesia, as well as areas for continued engagement with AHK Indonesia/EKONID.
Founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 1882, Beiersdorf is an international skincare company known for its brands, including NIVEA and Hansaplast. NIVEA was introduced in 1911, followed by Hansaplast in 1922. Both brands have since become established names in their respective product categories, reflecting Beiersdorf’s longstanding presence in the skincare and healthcare markets.
In Indonesia, Beiersdorf operates through PT Beiersdorf Indonesia, with activities extending beyond Jakarta. Its manufacturing operations in Malang include two plants producing NIVEA, NIVEA MEN, and Hansaplast products for the regional market. These operations highlight the company’s role in serving consumers in Indonesia and the wider region.
The exchange provided further insight into Beiersdorf’s local operations and manufacturing activities, while reaffirming the importance of dialogue and cooperation between AHK Indonesia/EKONID and its member companies.
