Overview
PT Alam Lestari Unggul is an Indonesian limited liability company established in 1983 that specialises in welding electrodes. It is the corporate entity behind the Nikko Steel brand, a welding consumables and equipment business whose origins trace back to 1972, when the late Chairman Mr. Bakti Setia Darma founded Nikko Steel. In its early years the business produced about 500 metric tons of mild steel electrodes annually. Much of the early production technology and pre-mixed fluxes were imported, and in 1978 the company began its own research and development programme so that it could design electrodes using its own flux formulations. Nikko Steel operated as a sole proprietorship until 1994, when, under a corporate restructuring programme, it was merged with PT Alam Lestari Unggul, the limited liability company established in 1983. Following that restructuring, Nikko Steel was maintained as the brand name for a range of welding electrodes produced by PT Alam Lestari Unggul. The company was certified for the ISO 9001 Quality Management System by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance in 1996 and holds membership in several international welding institutes, societies and associations. Today the business describes itself as a leading Indonesian welding manufacturer with an annual capacity of over 40,000 metric tons of quality electrodes and a comprehensive range of more than 190 different electrode types covering welding applications in all major industrial sectors. Its product catalogue spans welding consumables, steel abrasives and blast hose, grinding, cutting and polishing products, DC inverter and AC transformer welding machines, power tools, welding equipment and accessories, and industrial seals. The company markets its welding consumables under the Nikko Steel brand and its welding machines under the Enka name, and it presents itself as a partner "built on quality & technology" serving Indonesia's industries.
History
Nikko Steel was founded in 1972 by the late Chairman Mr. Bakti Setia Darma. In the early years, the business produced about 500 metric tons of mild steel electrodes annually. Much of its early production technology and pre-mixed fluxes were imported. In 1978 the company started its own research and development programme to enable it to design electrodes incorporating its own flux formulations. Nikko Steel operated as a sole proprietorship until 1994, when, under a corporate restructuring programme, it was merged with PT Alam Lestari Unggul, a limited liability company established in 1983. Following the merger, Nikko Steel was maintained as the brand name for a range of welding electrodes produced by PT Alam Lestari Unggul. The company was certified for the ISO 9001 Quality Management System by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance in 1996 and holds membership in several international welding institutes, societies and associations, which it presents as a demonstration of its commitment to quality and to the advancement of welding technology. By the time of its current corporate communications, the company had grown from its early annual output of about 500 metric tons of mild steel electrodes to an annual capacity of over 40,000 metric tons of quality electrodes, with a comprehensive range of more than 190 different types covering welding applications in all major industrial sectors. Its product range has also broadened well beyond electrodes to include welding consumables, steel abrasives and blast hose, grinding, cutting and polishing products, DC inverter and AC transformer welding machines, power tools, welding equipment and accessories, and industrial seals. The company markets welding machines under the Enka name, including DC inverter models such as the Enka MMA series and the Enka Cut plasma cutting machine.
