“To ensure customers return to choose our services, WSBP implements a marketing agent empowerment strategy. Currently, WSBP has more than 100 sales agents spread across five main areas. In addition, we are also rebranding to adapt to the ease of access that people now have,” Sena added.




WSBP undertook various sales innovations, ranging from rebranding by launching a new mascot “Mas BP” to personalize the WSBP brand, launching a new enhanced website to increase public awareness of WSBP concrete products and services, and launching a new website hello.waskitaprecast.co.id as a one-stop platform for new customers to connect with sales areas.




WSBP continues to innovate in improving the quality of its products, including Precast products for bridge construction, especially long spans. One of the significant innovations is the development of Body Stiffener, Upper Wing Lateral Stiffener (which has been patented), and improvement of PC-I Girder cross section into Semi-T Girder. These innovations were designed to address the challenges of non-standard PC-I Girder with long spans that are prone to horizontal (lateral) deflection, which can result in cracking, warping, breaking, or even falling. By reinforcing the girder with a body stiffener that can increase stiffness by 15%, while the stiffener on the upper wing can increase stiffness by 274%, WSBP succeeded in creating a more reliable and safe solution.




“The application of this innovation has proven effective in the field, including on the 50.8km Cibitung-Cilincing Toll road construction project, where no failures such as bending or other damage were found during the erection process. This confirms the superiority of the Stiffener and Semi-T Girder innovations developed by WSBP,” said Fikri Ramadhanu, Junior Expert Engineering & Innovation Precast & Post Tension WSBP.




With these various efforts, it shows WSBP's commitment to become a One Stop Solution in the integrated concrete industry, Construction and Modular and Supporting Equipment according to customer needs. Of course, in its implementation WSBP continues to carry out Good Governance and risk management by applying ethics and compliance with all applicable regulations in every business process of the company.
