Lebak Gypsum Plant: PT Nexson Plans Rp800 Billion Investment

勒巴克石膏工厂：PT Nexson计划投资8000亿印尼盾

The Lebak gypsum plant is the latest investment plan in Banten: PT Nexson, a producer of gypsum raw material, has presented plans to invest about Rp800 billion in the Citeras area of Rangkasbitung. Lebak investment office (DPMPTSP) head Lingga Segara, quoted by BantenKlik on 5 November 2026, said physical construction is planned for 2027 and operations from 2028, with about 1,000 employees projected. The project is still at the consultation stage, so capacity and product types have not been announced.

Key Facts

The Lebak gypsum plant plan and its link to PT Aplus

According to Lingga Segara, PT Nexson is the newest prospective investor to communicate directly with the regency and has already held a consultation on its production facility. He said the gypsum raw material Nexson will process is linked to PT Aplus, a company already operating in the Citeras industrial area, describing Nexson as a gypsum raw-material producer in the same group as PT Aplus, as quoted by BantenKlik. Satelit News, carrying similar remarks on 28 October 2026, wrote that the company produces gypsum raw material and that its site is close to PT Aplus’s production facility. Neither outlet has reported plant capacity, final product types or the origin of the investor.

Rp800 billion for assets, buildings and machinery

Lingga explained that the roughly Rp800 billion covers assets, building expenditure and production machinery. Operating costs, including salaries, are a separate component not counted in the Investment Activity Report (LKPM). He said the company already has land, so the plan is considered firm, with construction in 2027 and operations in 2028. Satelit News added that the investment must still pass through construction and operational preparation before the 1,000-job target can be met. The regency promotes 13 industrial zones of about 10,900 hectares, toll-road access and water from the Karian Dam, including through the Banten Investment Forum.

What it could mean for gypsum board and ceiling supply

Gypsum is the base for gypsum board, jointing compounds and ceiling products widely used for partitions and ceilings in houses, shophouses and buildings. If the plan goes ahead, Citeras would gain an additional raw-material facility near an existing producer, which the regency hopes will grow supporting industries and strengthen supply chains. For contractors and building-material shops, any effect would come only after the plant operates, at the earliest in 2028 on the stated schedule. homeX, an Indonesian building-materials platform with showroom, warehousing and delivery, will follow official updates on the project, including permits and capacity, before drawing conclusions about prices or product availability.
