Coordinating Consistent SBR Supply for Indonesian Footwear Manufacturing
Southeast Asia — Indonesia — Synthetic Rubber
The challenge
An Indonesian footwear manufacturer producing rubber soles and components for export markets faced supply unpredictability during peak production seasons. Their previous supplier arrangement lacked documentation consistency, and COA variations between shipments made their own quality assurance process unreliable.
Our approach
Essencia Trade structured a supply programme connecting the customer with qualified SBR production resources. We established agreed grade specifications with acceptance ranges for Mooney viscosity and tensile strength, coordinated monthly COA and TDS documentation ahead of each shipment, and arranged containerised bale packaging matched to the customer's warehouse handling equipment.
Results
The customer achieved 11 consecutive monthly shipments within agreed specification ranges. COA documentation turnaround improved from post-shipment to pre-shipment, enabling their QA team to clear incoming materials 5 days faster on average. Annual supply volume under coordination grew from 240 MT to 480 MT over two years.
“What we valued most was not just the product, but the discipline around documentation. Having COA before the container arrives changes how we plan.”
