INDONESIA, 17 AUGUST 2020 – As the largest economy in Southeast Asia1, Indonesia is home to a rapidly-growing urban population2 that is navigating pressing challenges surrounding sanitation, water supply, urbanization, and sustainability, exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic. As the country’s water resources and infrastructure continue to face increasing pressure, the Indonesian government has implemented commendable solutions to address these pertinent issues, such as the national PAMSIMAS Program3 which is providing millions with water and sanitation facilities. In alignment with Indonesia’s recovery efforts and focus on sustainable development, Wavin, the world-leading solutions provider for the building and infrastructure industry, announces its return to Indonesia by launching a new suite of innovative pipe and fittings solutions. Wavin’s solutions, which range from piping and fittings, indoor climate to cable ducting, will be launched under the theme Warisan Masa Depan, with the goal of building a healthier and more sustainable built environment for future generations in Indonesia. With the Indonesian government continuing to drive forward large-scale infrastructural developments 4, including expanding clean tap water coverage in Jakarta5 to curb the potential spread of COVID-19, these solutions will help equip the industry with effective tools for safe and sustainable development.
