Specialized Pumping Expertise Strengthened Through Aver Asia and Sumitomo Corporation Group
ICN News, Jakarta — In the mining industry, effective water management is a critical factor in maintaining safe, efficient and uninterrupted operations. Rainfall, groundwater, mud and water accumulation in mining areas can create significant operational challenges if they are not managed with the right systems and equipment.
Against this backdrop, PT Resource Equipment Indonesia (REL) has established itself as a specialist provider of mine water management, dewatering, slurry and mud management, and pumping solutions for the mining industry.
With extensive experience in Indonesia, REL provides pumping solutions designed to meet the specific requirements of individual mining operations. Rather than focusing solely on conventional equipment rental, REL has developed strong expertise in large-scale pumping systems, supported by engineering capabilities, field operations and maintenance services.
From Pump Rental to Integrated Solutions
REL’s strength extends beyond equipment availability. The company provides comprehensive support covering engineering and system design, equipment selection, fabrication, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
Its solutions cover a wide range of applications, including mine dewatering, mud recovery and disposal, pipeline systems, hydromining and other specialized pumping requirements.
This approach enables REL to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions, rather than simply supplying pumps. By understanding the conditions and requirements of each mining site, the company can help customers improve operational efficiency while managing time, maintenance and operating costs more effectively.
REL’s capabilities also include power and pipeline system design, steel and HDPE fabrication, electrical and mechanical works, testing, installation, commissioning, transportation, field services, maintenance, re-engineering and repair.
A New Chapter with Aver Asia and Sumitomo Corporation
An important milestone in REL’s development came in November 2024, when Aver Asia completed the acquisition of PT Resource Equipment Indonesia.
Through its subsidiary, Aver Asia (S) Pte. Ltd., Sumitomo Corporation acquired 100% of REL. The transaction strengthened Aver Asia’s presence in Indonesia’s mining sector while adding REL’s specialized large-pump capabilities to its regional equipment business.
Aver Asia is an equipment rental and sales company operating across the Asia-Pacific region and is part of the Sumitomo Corporation Group.
The integration creates a complementary platform: REL contributes its specialized pumping and dewatering expertise, while Aver Asia brings broader equipment capabilities and regional resources.
For mining customers, this combination provides opportunities to access a wider range of equipment and integrated solutions through a stronger regional platform.
Strong Presence at Mining Indonesia 2026
The participation of Aver Asia and PT Resource Equipment Indonesia at Mining Indonesia 2026 further demonstrates the companies’ commitment to Indonesia’s mining industry.
Held from 9–12 September 2026 at Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO) Kemayoran, the companies are presenting their solutions at Booth OS-16.
The exhibition provides an opportunity for Aver Asia and REL to engage directly with mining companies, contractors and industry professionals while showcasing solutions covering areas such as excavation, material handling, site support and dewatering.
The companies are also supported by a portfolio of established equipment brands, including Genie, Dragflow, JCB and Airman, providing customers with broader choices for different operational requirements.
Addressing the Increasing Complexity of Mining Operations
For modern mining operations, dewatering is far more than simply removing water from a pit or work area. An effective dewatering system must take into consideration site conditions, water volume, ground characteristics, pumping distances, production requirements and operational safety.
This is where engineering expertise and the ability to develop custom-designed, fit-for-purpose solutions become increasingly important.
With more than a decade of experience in Indonesia, specialized large-pump capabilities and the support of Aver Asia and the wider Sumitomo Corporation Group, REL is positioned to play an increasingly important role in supporting Indonesia’s mining industry.
As mining operations become more complex and efficiency becomes increasingly critical, reliable water and pumping management will remain an essential part of successful mine operations.
From specialized pumping equipment to integrated engineering and field solutions, REL and Aver Asia demonstrate how advanced water management can contribute to safer, more efficient and more sustainable mining operations in Indonesia.
