property and infrastructure sectors that has become the main sector of cement
manufacturing.

for its productivity in 2020, such as: the diversification of underlying cement
product, doing cost efficiency in several product lineups, and also by applying
marketing strategies focusing on the sale of cement in SMBR-based markets.
SMBR is also hoping for a growth on cement demand within the retail sector in relation with the potential stimulus or incentive from housing provided by government, in following what had once been stated by the minister of Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing of Republic of Indonesia, Basuki Hadimuljono. In addition, it is also hoped that the first phase of village fund distribution on May could further push the sales number of SMBR cement.
