en.Wedoany.com Reported - In June 2026, Indonesia completed its first export of high-quality structural steel to Canada, with the shipment valued at $216,000. The structural steel was produced and shipped by PT Gunung Raja Paksi Tbk (GRP), one of Indonesia's largest steel producers, marking the country's first export of high value-added structural steel products to Canada.
Founded in 1971, PT Gunung Raja Paksi Tbk (GRP) is one of Indonesia's oldest and largest private steel enterprises, headquartered in Jakarta with production bases in Cikarang and Merak. Its main products include hot-rolled coils, medium plates, billets, and various profiles, with an annual production capacity exceeding 2 million tons. The company's products are exported to multiple countries and regions across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. In 2020, GRP signed a memorandum of understanding with Swedish steel company SSAB to develop low-carbon dioxide emission steel products. In 2024, GRP announced a partnership with multinational conglomerate Salim Group to jointly promote sustainable steel production.
The exported goods were approved and released by relevant Indonesian authorities, meeting the international quality standards required by the Canadian market. They have been loaded at designated ports and shipped to Canada. Canada imposes strict quality and certification requirements on imported steel products, and this export demonstrates that Indonesian steel manufacturers are capable of competing in developed international markets. Indonesia's Ministry of Industry stated that this export reflects the strengthening of the country's steel industry and supports industrial development efforts. As the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is actively promoting manufacturing upgrades and export diversification strategies. The steel industry is one of the key pillar sectors prioritized by the Ministry of Industry, with the government supporting local steel enterprises through various policies to enhance their technological capabilities and international competitiveness.
This export represents a milestone in the development of Indonesia's steel industry and holds positive significance for integrating Indonesia's steel sector into the global supply chain and enhancing the diversification of the country's manufacturing exports.
