JAKARTA - 2026 is an important milestone for PT Bridgestone Tire Indonesia. This tire manufacturer officially entered its 50th year of journey in the national automotive industry, after first starting its journey on February 5, 1976 through the inauguration of the first factory in Bekasi.
As the community's mobility needs increase and the automotive sector grows rapidly, Bridgestone Indonesia continues to strengthen its production capacity and capabilities. This commitment is realized through the construction of the second factory in Karawang which was inaugurated on September 9, 1999.
"Fifty years is not just an age achievement, but a reflection of a long journey of trust. We thank the Indonesian people for their trust and support who have been with Bridgestone for five decades," said President Director of Bridgestone Indonesia Mukiat Sutikno at the IIMS 2025 event, Thursday, February 5.
"From the beginning, Bridgestone Indonesia has grown together with the mobility needs of the community, presenting the highest quality, comfort, and safety as the foundation of every journey from generation to generation. This commitment is what we continue to maintain today and in the future," he continued.
In the five decades of its journey, Bridgestone Indonesia has not only served the domestic market, but also contributed to the global supply chain. Currently, tire products produced in Indonesia have been exported to more than 70 countries.
In the country, the commitment to provide quality products and services is reflected through an extensive distribution network. Bridgestone products are available at more than 400 official retail networks Toko Model (TOMO) which are supported by certified staff, as well as more than 1,500 public tire stores throughout Indonesia.
This network ensures consumers can access Bridgestone tire solutions with the best product and service standards. Since 1976, Bridgestone tires have been an integral part of the journey of motor vehicle users and automotive enthusiasts in Indonesia.
Entering its 50th year, Bridgestone Indonesia once again reaffirms its commitment to the industry and consumers by participating for the fifth time at the 2026 Indonesia International Motor Show as Official Tire Partner. This presence is an opportunity for Bridgestone to get closer to consumers.
"Bridgestone's participation in IIMS 2026 is part of our efforts to get closer to consumers, as well as presenting an experience that is not only focused on products, but also education. Through product innovation and interactive programs, we want to help consumers understand the role of tires as an important element in safety and driving comfort," said Marketing Director Bridgestone Indonesia Masaki Abe.
At IIMS 2026, Bridgestone Indonesia displayed five flagship product lines, namely Turanza, Alenza, Potenza, and Dueler, including introducing the ENLITEN technology-based Ecopia EP300 with the latest sizes of 215/60 R17 and 225/50 R18. These products are designed to support the needs of modern vehicles such as the Toyota Innova Zenix V and Q types, while meeting the demands of efficiency, comfort, and daily driving performance.
In addition to presenting a line of flagship products, Bridgestone Indonesia also presents an educational area "Tire Secrets Unlocked" through the "Tire Anatomy Experience". Namely, an interactive module that shows the internal structure of tires, technology, and the main materials used to make them.
