Atlas Copco Fluidcon created

Two years after acquiring PT Fluidcon Jaya, PT Atlas Copco Indonesia is finally combining the two companies into one organisation, PT Atlas Copco Fluidcon.

Atlas Copco Indonesia has operated Fluidcon Jaya as an independent company since its acquisition in 2008, while continuing to support Atlas Copco products and services separately.

Atlas Copco Fluidcon's general manager, Robin Stephens, said "by integrating the two companies, and implementing an intense cross-training programme, customers will benefit from the increased service capability and efficiency of a new, consolidated company".

By the end of this year, all former Fluidcon employees will be trained as Level 1 Atlas Copco service technicians. Likewise, all Atlas Copco service technicians will be trained to install and service Fluidcon products.

Headquartered in Jakarta, the enlarged company, employing 350 people, will offer capital-equipment field support and auxiliary-product installation through its 12 locations in the region. The company adds that "close customer support is provided from remote, and in-mine, personnel in approximately 20 additional locations".

Fluidcon has had a strong presence in the Indonesian mining industry for 25 years. In addition to the installation of products such as fire suppression and auto-lubrication systems on haul trucks and loaders, the company also produces a line of fuel decontamination and monitoring systems. Other products include mobile workshops, hydraulic hose manufacturing, hydraulic training modules and electronic-particle detectors.
