Deswik enlarges global footprint with new office and local team in Indonesia
Deswik has opened a new office in Jakarta, Indonesia, and made plans to host a customer event, Deswik Exchange Jakarta, on April 16.
Supported by a local consulting team, this fortified in-country presence reflects Deswik’s long‑term commitment to Indonesia and focus on delivering practical technical software and consulting solutions, shaped by real‑world mining experience, the company said.
“Local presence is essential for Deswik in Indonesia,” Ben Farquharson, Territory Manager and Business Development Lead for the Asia region, said. “The mining industry here is large, widely dispersed and historically underserved by remote support models. Establishing a Jakarta office and expanding our team in Indonesia ensures we can provide consistent, trusted and long‑term support for our customers.”
Several new Jakarta-based team members across consulting, business development and technical services have joined Deswik – a Sandvik company – in the Sandvik office.
“We welcome the Deswik team into Jakarta,” Teguh Kurniawan, Territory Manager for Indonesia, says. “We have a large customer base that we are serving in surface and underground operations that will benefit from this dedicated local support with Deswik. Our Indonesian customers are always looking for ways to increase production or reduce costs, or both, in their operations, therefore being able to support a global product locally is great and well received.”
Farquharson added: “A dedicated local team is crucial to supporting Deswik’s customers in Indonesia. The team we have assembled brings deep local experience and all are highly regarded in the region.
“These appointments reflect our priority on customer‑led service, capability building and stronger alignment with Indonesian mining organisations.
“We will be continuing to grow the team throughout 2026 and beyond.”
The Deswik Indonesia team will work closely with Deswik’s global network of more than 200 mining engineers and specialists, enabling seamless end‑to‑end support across mine design, planning, optimisation, scheduling, survey and environmental workflows, it says.
The company added: “This integrated approach provides Indonesia’s mining companies with access to a software ecosystem and consulting capability that is industry proven and continuously evolving in partnership with customers.”
Deswik Exchange Jakarta is set to bring customers, technical leaders and industry partners from across Asia together, to highlight this region’s diverse mining community and showcase Deswik’s end‑to‑end planning capabilities in the region. The conference will feature technical presentations, hands‑on discussions, networking opportunities and expert insights from the Deswik Indonesian team.
