3M Indonesia at a glance
We started operations in Indonesia over 44 years ago with 3 employees, and in year 2016 we
adopted a market-centric organizational approach to increase its competitiveness and simplify
the corporate business scale. This approach aligns with efforts to steer the company towards
long-term success by strengthening its portfolio, R&D capabilities, and business processes. The
new market set-up is the solution to become end-use focused. To achieve that, 3M Indonesia
now has four business groups: Safety & Industrial; Transportation & Electronics; Healthcare; and
Consumer.
This combination also allows 3M Indonesia to monitor and control key economic drivers and
define the best portfolio investment strategies. For instance, the Safety & Industrial business is
driven by large product specifications in private sector organizations, where industrial policy
and exports are the key market drivers. On the other hand, Transportation & Electronics is based
on large projects, which in many cases are framed by government regulations to use specific
products, for which government tenders are more important. Very specifically, the Healthcare
business group is about well-being, hospitals, clinics, dentists, and is the main channel to
communicate value to the people who use 3M products. Finally, Consumer business group is
about products that 3M produces that users buy in supermarkets, pharmacies, hardware stores,
etc. These group are relevant to both 3M and Indonesia since the government is focusing on its
own strategic plans that include promoting the automotive industry, investing in roads and
building, and expanding healthcare coverage.
The evolution of 3M Indonesia’s organization model into a leaner and more scalable
organization also allows the team to remain flexible and better respond to external challenges.
