PT. Tangguh Karimata Jaya

What PT. Tangguh Karimata Jaya does

PT. Tangguh Karimata Jaya is an Indonesian private logistics and transportation company founded in 1988 as a customs broker in Jakarta. It operates as the parent of a multi-entity group including PT. Tangguh Logistindo (integrated shipping services, ISO 9001/14001/45001 certified), PT. Tangguh Jaya Pratama (local distribution and supply chain, acquired by SBS Logistics Japan in March 2025), and PT. Yabuki Tangguh Indonesia (a 2015 joint venture with Yabuki Kaiun Kaisha of Japan for construction machinery and project transport). The company employs 101-250 people across four offices (Jakarta, Cikarang, Surabaya, Balikpapan) and serves enterprise and government clients in infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing.

The company generates revenue through four core service lines: inland transportation (containerized and non-containerized trucking with GPS-enabled 24-hour fleet monitoring), project transport management (specialized heavy-lift and oversized cargo using multi-axle modular trailers up to 30 axles), freight forwarding (international shipping coordination via worldwide shipping line networks), and customs brokerage (certified personnel with proprietary in-house PIB/PEB systems for Indonesian Customs data transfer). Pricing is project-based and quote-driven depending on cargo type, dimensions, weight, and route complexity.

The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting large-scale infrastructure projects (Jakarta MRT, JAPEK Elevated Highway, Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Railway, power plants for SEPCO III and Huadian Bukit Asam, Pupuk Sriwijaya, and manufacturing clients like Fajar Surya Wisesa). The company monetizes via transaction fees on transport and freight services plus professional services fees for customs brokerage. Marketing is primarily direct business development seeded by 30+ years of industry reputation and demonstrated execution on complex heavy-lift projects, rather than digital channels.
