Exceeding Customer Expectations, DUNLOP Expands Its DUNLOP Shop Network in Lampung and Bangka Belitung
PT Sumi Rubber Indonesia, the manufacturer of DUNLOP tires in Indonesia, has officially expanded its DUNLOP Shop network by inaugurating two new outlets during May and June 2026: Karunia Ban in Koba, Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands, and Bumen Motor in Kalirejo, Central Lampung, Lampung. This expansion marks another important milestone in DUNLOP's commitment to bringing premium tire products and professional automotive services closer to communities across Indonesia, while also highlighting the success of local entrepreneurs who have demonstrated that partnering with DUNLOP can drive sustainable business growth.
Karunia Ban officially opened on May 24, 2026
Bumen Motor officially opened on June 14, 2026.
"The opening of these two DUNLOP Shops reflects our commitment to bringing DUNLOP products and services closer to customers, including those living outside major cities. We believe everyone deserves easy access to high-quality tires and professional automotive services. Through the expansion of our DUNLOP Shop network in Bangka Belitung and Lampung, we hope more customers can experience the quality of DUNLOP products and services firsthand. This is how DUNLOP continues to stay closer to customers, wherever they are."– Hesron Hutabarat, General Manager Replacement Sales, PT Sumi Rubber Indonesia
Karunia Ban: Growing Through Commitment and Consistency
The opening of these two new DUNLOP Shops also demonstrates how the right partnership can become a catalyst for the growth of local businesses.
In Bangka Belitung, Indra Wijaya, owner of Karunia Ban, has built his business through perseverance and consistency. His journey began with a single tire shop established in March 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Despite the uncertainty, Indra remained focused on delivering excellent customer service, expanding his product portfolio, and creating a one-stop automotive service center that provides comprehensive solutions for customers.
His strategy paid off. Today, Karunia Ban has expanded into three branches, including its newest outlet in Koba, which officially opened in 2026. Having known the DUNLOP brand since 2014, Indra decided to become a DUNLOP Shop partner because of the brand's consistent commitment to innovation and product quality.
Located on Namang–Koba Road, the new outlet is supported by three experienced mechanics and one professional sales advisor, ready to serve the automotive needs of customers throughout Bangka Belitung.
Bumen Motor: Turning Challenges into Opportunities

A similar entrepreneurial spirit can be found in Lampung.
Siti Nur Alfiah, owner of Bumen Motor, started her business in October 2025 with a modest automotive workshop. One of the biggest challenges she encountered was intense price competition, as customers frequently compared offers from multiple tire retailers before making purchasing decisions.
Rather than viewing this as a setback, Alfiah recognized a significant market opportunity. The area had relatively few automotive workshops and tire retailers despite increasing vehicle ownership and heavy traffic activity. Driven by this opportunity, Bumen Motor continued to grow and has now officially joined the DUNLOP Shop network as the 379th DUNLOP Shop in Indonesia.
This milestone reflects Alfiah's confidence in DUNLOP as a trusted brand capable of supporting the long-term growth of her business.
"Every DUNLOP Shop that joins our network plays an important role in building a stronger and more sustainable automotive retail ecosystem in Indonesia. Guided by DUNLOP's philosophy, TAKING YOU BEYOND, we aim to encourage our partners to surpass their business growth targets while delivering customer experiences that exceed expectations. The success stories of Karunia Ban and Bumen Motor demonstrate how strong partnerships create new opportunities and shared growth. Going forward, we will continue expanding the DUNLOP Shop network while strengthening our support for our partners, enabling more local entrepreneurs to grow together with DUNLOP."– Soichi Nagao, Director of Sales & Marketing, PT Sumi Rubber Indonesia
Strengthening Indonesia's Automotive Retail Network
With the addition of Bumen Motor, the DUNLOP Shop network has officially reached 379 outlets nationwide, reflecting the trust and confidence of dealer partners across Indonesia.
Meanwhile, Karunia Ban represents a compelling example of consistent organic growth. From a single outlet established in 2020, it has expanded to three branches within six years.
Each DUNLOP Shop provides comprehensive automotive services, including:
- Tire sales
- Oil changes
- Engine tune-ups
- Air conditioning service
- Suspension and undercarriage maintenance
- Wheel alignment
- Wheel balancing
This achievement is built upon DUNLOP's more than 130 years of innovation in premium tire technology, continuously evolving to meet the demands of today's drivers.
