Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel Manufacturer and Supplier in Indonesia
Stainless steel is an iron-chromium alloy with at least 10.5% chromium, forming a self-healing passive oxide layer that resists corrosion in aggressive environments. Sino East Steel is a stainless steel manufacturer and supplier based in Tianjin, China, exporting to Indonesia and more than 50 countries for over 18 years. As a direct factory supplier with a 65,000 m2 production base and 500,000 tons of annual capacity, we deliver to Indonesian importers, distributors, contractors and project companies with complete documentation, including the Mill Test Certificate (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 on every shipment.
Indonesian buyers choose our stainless steel because every batch is tested in our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system, packed seaworthy and shipped to Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), Belawan (Medan) and Makassar within 18-25 days after production. Third-party inspection by SGS, BV or TUV can be arranged at the factory or at the destination port, and SNI documentation support is available for regulated applications.
What Is Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel combines corrosion resistance, hygiene, strength and aesthetics, making it the material of choice for food processing, chemical plants, water treatment, architecture, kitchens and medical equipment. Austenitic grades 304/304L and 316/316L are the most widely used: 316 adds molybdenum for superior resistance to chlorides and seawater, which matters in coastal Indonesia and in desalination and chemical service.
Sino East Steel supplies stainless steel sheets, coils, plates, pipes, tubes, bars and profiles in 201, 304, 304L, 316 and 316L, with mill certificates and surface finishes from 2B and BA to mirror and brushed.

Grade Verification and Surface Quality
Stainless steel failures are almost always caused by wrong grade selection or poor surface quality. We verify chemical composition with PMI testing on request and control surface finish, flatness and tolerances for forming, welding and polishing. For food-contact and pharmaceutical applications we supply grades with verified low inclusion levels and clean 2B/BA surfaces, with full traceability to the melt.
Applications of Stainless Steel in Indonesia
- Food processing - Tanks, conveyors and equipment for food and beverage plants.
- Chemical and water - Piping, vessels and water treatment equipment, 316 for chloride service.
- Architecture - Facades, handrails, kitchen equipment and interior fittings.
- Marine and coastal - Hardware and structures exposed to seawater and salt air.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is typically 5 metric tons per specification, and mixed-size container loads of 20 or 40 feet are welcomed for distributors and project stock orders.
What are the payment terms?
We accept T/T, L/C, D/A, D/P and O/A for long-term partners. Standard terms are 30% deposit and 70% against copy of shipping documents.
Do you provide Mill Test Certificates?
Yes, every batch ships with an MTC per EN 10204 3.1 including chemical composition and mechanical test results.
How long does delivery to Indonesia take?
Production takes 15-25 days after specification confirmation, followed by 18-25 days sea freight to Tanjung Priok, Tanjung Perak, Belawan or Makassar.
Can third-party inspection be arranged?
Yes, SGS, BV or TUV inspection can be arranged at the factory before loading or at the destination port, which is common for government and project supply in Indonesia.
When should I choose 316 instead of 304?
Choose 316 for chloride exposure: seawater, coastal environments, chemical and desalination service. 304 suits most indoor food and architectural applications.
What surface finish do you recommend?
2B is standard for industrial use; BA suits decorative and mirror applications; No.4 brushed suits architecture and kitchens.
