# PT Putra Sarana Transborneo: Over Two Decades of Excellence in Heavy Equipment and Mining
Since its inception in 2000, PT Putra Sarana Transborneo (PST) has evolved from a local Banjarmasin-based enterprise into a formidable force within the Indonesian mining and construction industry. Despite its roots, the company’s operational standards have garnered national recognition, evidenced by its long-standing partnerships with industry titans such as PT Thiess Contractors Indonesia, PT PAMA Persada Nusantara, and Minamas Plantation.
## A Legacy of Strategic Growth
PST began its journey as a specialized subcontractor for PT John Holland Constructions Indonesia, providing heavy equipment—primarily excavators and dump trucks—for coal haulage operations in Malinau and Sebuku. This foundational experience propelled the company to secure its first major contract with PT PAMA Persada Nusantara in 2002.
Over the years, PST has successfully expanded its footprint across multiple sectors:
* Mining Services: PST has become one of the primary subcontractors for PAMA, maintaining active operations across numerous job sites including ABKL, ADARO, and SMM.
* Agribusiness: Entering the agricultural sector in 2003, the company has provided land clearing and replanting services for over 10 Minamas Plantation estates.
* Mining Contractor: Since 2008, the company has grown into a full-scale coal mining contractor, collaborating with firms like PT Kapuas Tunggal Persada, PT Gunung Limo, and PT MHU.
By 2013, the company achieved a major production milestone, successfully processing over 10 million bank cubic meters (bcm) of overburden and 1.2 million tons of coal. Today, PST continues to scale its operations, venturing further into complex construction projects to meet the surging demand for heavy equipment expertise.
