President of B. Braun Asia Pacific, Ms. Anna Maria Braun, said, “For 178 years, B. Braun has lived its vision to protect and improve the health of people around the world.  We have been serving the people of Indonesia with our products and services for close to 40  years and today, we are proud to continue our commitment to this country and its people by building this pharmaceutical factory, which will become a key pharmaceutical production site in the Asia Pacific region. B. Braun wishes to fully support the aspirations of the National Health Insurance (JKN) to provide world class and affordable medical products for the people of Indonesia. “

B. Braun’s investment in its latest production plant is in line with the Presidential Instruction No. 6 of 2016 on Acceleration of Pharmaceutical Industry and Medical Instruments and the Minister of Health Regulation No. 17/2017 on the Action Plan for the Development of Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices in Indonesia. As the new production plant begins to operate, Indonesia will be able to minimize its dependency on imported products and may even transform itself into an exporter country, capable of anticipating medicinal shortages in the future.

The construction of the factory will be completed in two phases. The production plant’s annual production capacity shall reach 15 million units in the first phase and progress to an annual production capacity of 48 million units upon entering the second phase of construction.  These infusion solutions and injectable medicines will cater to the needs of patients in Indonesia and be exported to other countries in the Asia Pacific region.  

Infusion Solutions are one of the basic treatments administered to patients. B. Braun manufactures infusion solutions in a closed system container, which reduces the risk of air, bacterial and non-bacterial contamination. Some of the products, which will be manufactured at the new factory, are Ecosol Ringer Lactate, Sterofundin ISO, Ecosol Sodium Chloride 0.9%, Ecosol Glucose 5% and Ecosol Glucose 10%.
