Our
Chronicle
Timeline
Decorient was first established in 1970 by large Dutch contractors (a.o. Hollandsche Beton Groep) who were entering Indonesian market to compete with other international contractors. The name Decorient stood for Dutch Engineers and Contractors in the Orient.
Interbeton, a subsidiary of Hollandsche Beton Groep (HBG) expanded into the global market and in 1977 acquired the majority shares of Decorient. With this acquisition, Interbeton brought into the company its vast expertise on marine and nearshore marine structures to buildings, airports, bridges and tunnels. The company name remained as PT Decorient Indonesia.
In 2002 the parent company of Interbeton, HBG was merged with BAM and eventually Interbeton (including Decorient) was rebranded as BAM International. The company name changed to PT BAM Decorient Indonesia.
In 2020, due to the change of strategy from BAM to refocus on its European home markets, BAM International decided to divest its operation worldwide. This decision led to a management buy-out of the company which was completed in May 2021. The company name was changed to PT Decorient Partaya Indonesia. The name “Partaya” originated from Kawi (Old Javanese language) which means “trustworthy”.
For more than 50 years, our excellent track record of delivering consistent high-quality product is well-documented. We aim to continue to be the first-choice trusted partner for our stakeholders in construction industry.

Truthful
We believe that building high performance team and maintaining good relationship with stakeholders need Trust as the foundation.

Our commitment to transparency affects how we communicate internally and how we communicate to our clients. We believe it’s incredibly important when companies are putting their faith in us.
It can often be tempting to bend the truth, or sugar coat it, often when things go wrong in embarrassing or harmful ways. But it’s precisely those situations where open and honest communication needs to be absolute. Our commitment to truth is deeper than stating the facts – it extends to situations such as searching the root causes of issues and highlighting them early, proactively. We value truth over comfort.
To establish a long and fruitful relationship, we must start with understanding each other better. Then by understanding the needs, we know how to achieve our stakeholders’ satisfaction. We aim to deliver what we promised, so we could become your reliable partner.
