GS Kunststofftechnik produces hollow bodies made of recycled polypropylene in an injection molding process for Unidome Deutschland GmbH, which replace up to 40 percent of concrete in building ceilings.

The displacers are particularly useful in multistory buildings with large ceilings, balconies and foundations with thicknesses between 18 and 50 cm. With displacers, builders can reduce concrete up to 40 %.

Toolcraft Strengthens Presence in Indonesia

Toolcraft acquires shares in the Indonesian partner PT. YPTI, and creates a base for itself in the Asian region.

Since 2021, Toolcraft has been working with PT. YPTI since 2021. Now, the German company is taking over shares in the Indonesian partner, thus creating a base for itself in the Asian region.

Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world and, according to experts, is tipped to become one of the largest global economies by 2050. Medium-sized company Toolcraft has long-standing close links with this emerging country and its successful working relationship with PT. YPTI (Yogya Presisi Teknikatama Industri) from Yogyakarta was cemented with a memorandum of understanding two years ago.

Given Toolcraft’s continuous growth and the ongoing expansion of its activities in both Germany and internationally, acquiring a 50% stake in PT. YPTI was the logical next step. As part of PT. YPTI’s upcoming succession planning, its current managers were keen for toolcraft to use its involvement with the company to support and assist the next generation as they steer PT. YPTI into the future.

After being founded in 1999, PT. YPTI initially focused on expanding its machining equipment. From 2012, it began investing in injection-molding machines, a 3D laser scanner for quality control and its own mould-making facilities. This has paved the way for it to become well-established in several technologies. PT. YPTI is also an AS 9100-certified manufacturer of precision parts, assemblies and complete solutions for the aerospace industry.

Toolcraft will also benefit from the partnership by using PT. YPTI as a base in the Asian market through which it can extend its production activities into the region. “This will allow us to avoid long and costly transport routes, saving both time and resources as well as helping us to operate more sustainably,” says Christoph Hauck, Chief Technology and Sales Officer at Toolcraft.

Alongside his current role at Toolcraft, Hauck will join PT. YPTI’s technical management team. Bernd Krebs, founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Toolcraft, and Marc Volkhardt, Chief Financial Officer at Toolcraft, have also joined PT. YPTI’s supervisory board. “Our aim is to build a vibrant partnership from which both sides will benefit,” adds Hauck.
