The commitment to continuously grow and push beyond boundaries has become a driving force for PT Astra Otoparts Tbk (Astra Otoparts) in navigating an increasingly dynamic industry landscape. This commitment was demonstrated through the presentation of the Company's Beyond Boundaries strategy by Andi Gunanto, Director of Astra Otoparts, during the Inspiring Session & Business Pitching Panelist held on June 25, 2026. The event was part of the Strategic Sensibility: Beyond Boundaries 2026 program, organized by the Corporate People Development Division of PT Astra International Tbk in collaboration with SBM ITB Executive Education.
During the session, the Beyond Boundaries strategy was introduced through two complementary approaches: Exploit and Explore. The Exploit approach focuses on maximizing existing capabilities, exemplified by the transformation initiatives at Nusametal, one of Astra Otoparts' divisions. The transformation began with a comprehensive assessment of operational conditions, covering production processes, facilities, technology, and human capital development. The findings served as the foundation for a transformation roadmap aimed at achieving operational excellence through digital transformation and the development of smart factory initiatives.
Meanwhile, the Explore approach emphasizes innovation through the collaboration between the Engineering Development Center (EDC), one of Astra Otoparts' divisions, and PT Century Batteries Indonesia (CBI), a subsidiary of Astra Otoparts. CBI is developing lithium-based energy storage solutions, ranging from automotive batteries to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), to support a wide range of sectors, including industry, renewable energy, telecommunications, data centers, commercial buildings, and infrastructure.
At the same time, EDC continues to strengthen its capabilities in engineering, digital technology, and product development to deliver innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of future industries.
The synergy between the Exploit and Explore strategies serves as the foundation of Astra Otoparts' efforts to build an adaptive, innovative, and sustainable business. By optimizing its existing strengths while exploring new opportunities through innovation, Astra Otoparts continues to create added value for customers, strengthen its competitive advantage, and contribute to the future development of Indonesia's manufacturing industry.
