Project Description

B. Braun is a leading global health care company, manufacturing pharmaceutical and medical supplies,instruments and providing medical care. This private company, operating since 1839, is headquartered in Melsungen, Germany, and employs over 55,000 people worldwide. B. Braun’s annual sales in 2014 totalled €5.4 billion, including € 840 million generated in the expanding Asia-Pacific region. B. Braun has subsidiaries in 62 countries and 36 production plants located in 19 countries. Production plants in Asia are located in China, India, Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam. In 2014 B. Braun invested €229 million in product research and development.

PT. B. Braun Medical Indonesia (hereafter known as PTBB), an entity ultimately owned 100% by B. Braun Melsungen AG (the Sponsor) and part of the Hospital Care Division, is establishing a new manufacturing plant for the production of large volume parenterals (LVP) used in patient care. The plant is located in the Indotaisei industrial park at Kalihurip, Cikampek, West Java, Indonesia, approximately 70 km east-southeast of Jakarta. Plant construction commenced in May 2015 and is scheduled to be completed at the end of June 2016. Parenterals are sterile preparations containing one or more active ingredients intended for administration by injection or infusion into the body, packaged in either single dose or multidose containers. Common examples of parenteral products include: IV fluids; Dextrose; saline solution; water; electrolyte preparation and dialysate.

IFC’s proposed investment is an A-loan up to €55m. The plant will consist of the main production area (for filling and packaging), a technical building (for mixing, incorporating a 100,000 L water-for-injection (WFI) tank), warehouse, administration offices, a chiller and cooling tower, a flammable and toxic building (for the storage of 30,000 L of fuel oil (diesel), acids for production and polymers), a high pressure boiler, a domestic and fire water tank, bus shelter and car park. The manufactured LVPs will primarily supply the Indonesian market but may also be exported.

The main manufacturing processes in the plant will be: water distillation; water and additive mixing; mixture filtration; blow moulding of plastic bottles; bottle filling and capping; autoclaving and leak testing of bottles; bottle optical inspection; bottle labelling; and warehousing.

Overview of IFC's Scope of Review

The review comprised visits to:
- PTBB Head Office, Jakarta for meetings with management;
- PTBB manufacturing plant (under construction) at Kalihurip, Cikampek; and
- B. Braun regional headquarters and manufacturing plant in Penang, Malaysia.

The following key B. Braun and PTBB documents were reviewed: 
- 2014 B. Braun Annual Report;
- PTBB LVP manufacturing plant plans;
- PTBB Company Regulation 2014-2016 – setting out employee and employer obligations;
- PTBB Code of Conduct - specifying good conduct requirements of employees; and
- B. Braun Malaysia Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy – providing an example of the EHS Policy that PTBB will prepare.

Key PTBB and B. Braun managers interviewed during the review included the PTBB CEO in Indonesia, PTBB HR Manager Indonesia, General Manager for the plant Indonesia, Senior Project Consultant at the plant construction site about site EHS, and Senior Manager – Environmental, Health, Safety and Security in Malaysia about standard EHS management.

Information was also sourced from PT. Indotaisei Indah Development (Indotaisei), the developer and operator of the industrial park where the plant is located, on historic land acquisition and the provision of park services to tenants (water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater discharge and electricity supply).
