As the country’s water resources and infrastructure have continued to be put under pressure during the pandemic, the Indonesian government has introduced initiatives such as The National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project (PAMSIMAS) [3] to provide millions with water and sanitation facilities. In alignment with Indonesia’s sustainable development efforts, Orbia’s Building and Infrastructure business, Wavin, announced the opening for its new production plant in Batang, Indonesia to provide its expanding customer base in Indonesia and the Asia Pacific region with sustainable sanitation and water management solutions. Said Sameer S. Bharadwaj, CEO of Orbia, “In Indonesia, 33.4 million people lack access to clean drinking water and 99.7 million lack access to safely-managed sanitation. We are solving this challenge by manufacturing Wavin UPVC and Wavin PPR-based pipes and fittings that deliver clean water and sanitation safety, cost-effectively and cleanly.” Continued Bharadwaj, “This investment brings our business’ innovative water management solutions to a high-need market. It is a decisive step on our journey to advance life around the world.” The Wavin production plant in new Grand Batang City will be built on a 20-hectare (49 acre) greenfield plot. When operational, the factory will employ approximately 200 people in production roles with room for further expansion in the coming years. Beyond manufacturing Wavin UPVC pipe and fittings, the space can accommodate production of resilient city and energy-efficient building products like Wavin’s low-noise drainage systems and rainwater and stormwater management systems. “We are very pleased to announce the opening of this new location,” said Maarten Roef, President of Orbia Building and Infrastructure (Wavin). “It allows us to further expand our solution offerings while bringing jobs and economic activity locally. With Wavin’s technology, innovation capabilities and existing customer base, we are focusing on bringing more plumbers, engineers, contractors, installers and municipal leaders complete solution systems for both above and below-ground water management and resilient urban development.” Wavin will manufacture its products and system solutions in accordance with global quality standards and in full compliance with global and local governance standards. Having established channel partners and distribution networks, Wavin products are presently available in markets across Indonesia that serve approximately 50 distributors, 6,000 retailers and 100 contractors and developers. ### About Obia Orbia is a company driven by a shared purpose: to advance life around the world.

Water is lost due to leakages and ageing networks. We need to improve the distribution of clean drinking water from source to tap. We will work towards these goals by raising the quality and performance of high-pressure water distribution networks, improving safety levels of indoor drinking water supply, and building towards a new (smarter) ways of managing drinking water. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-drinking-water) [![Wavin solutions for heating and cooling](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Gulvvarme_overgansperiode%20copy.jpg) ### Heating & Cooling People require increased comfort and well-being in the places they live and work. We need to design, build and use comfortable living environments in the most efficient and sustainable way.

Growing populations increasingly ask for greener living space. We need to (re)act to climate change and build livable and loveable cities. We will work towards these goals by creating integrated rainwater management solutions, countering the risk of flooded streets, avoid urban heat stress, and support greenification of cities. Our Wavin solutions already contribute. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-rainwater) [![Wavin Sewer Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Wavin%20kloak%20br%C3%B8nd.jpg) ### Sewer Millions of people have no or limited access to sanitation facilities. Simultaneously, ageing and poorly designed sewer systems contaminate groundwater resources. We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone. We will work towards these goals by building sewer systems with modern technology, preventing leakages, corrosion and clogging of sewer systems, and boosting renewal of sewer infrastructure. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-sewer) [![Wavin Waste Water Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Czechia/Blog-migrace/AS%20plus%20Wavin%20NL.jpg) ### Waste Water We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone.
