Equipment Placement backs WA-Indonesia ties through football

Football West News

Perth-based Equipment Placement will support the Western Australian Men’s State Team’s visit to Surabaya, where they will play Persebaya at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Sunday 15 November 2026.

 

The Football West fixture will be broadcast live across Indonesia on Indosiar, with kick-off scheduled for 8:30 pm AWST.

For Equipment Placement, the sponsorship reflects its commitment to developing its business in Indonesia and strengthening relationships between Western Australia and East Java.  

Equipment Placement supplies and supports equipment and products for mining and industrial customers. Its Indonesian offering includes Brelko conveyor solutions and FTA fuel filtration products, helping customers address practical problems such as conveyor spillage and fuel contamination.

The company has recently appointed EBS as its dealer in Indonesia. Working with EBS and its principal, Chris Brderlin, is an important step in building the local relationships and support customers need.

Equipment Placement CEO Geoff Perich said the event was an opportunity to support WA football while helping Indonesian customers get to know the business. 

“We see considerable opportunity in Indonesia, and we know that building a business there takes local knowledge, good relationships and reliable support,” Mr Perich said.

“We’re pleased to have Chris and EBS working with us. We want customers to understand what Equipment Placement can offer and know who to contact when they need help.”

Equipment Placement’s support for the WA team is a natural extension of its connection with football through its primary charity, the DT38.

“DT38 is our primary charity, so football already has a special connection with our business,” Mr Perich said. “Supporting the WA team as they visit Indonesia is a logical extension of that involvement and an opportunity to strengthen relationships in a market we’re committed to.”

Football West Chief Operating Officer Darcy Coffey welcomed Equipment Placement’s involvement.

“It’s great to have Equipment Placement behind the State Team alongside Major Partner La Vida Homes. Their support helps give our players the opportunity to represent WA on an international stage,” Mr Coffey said.

“With Equipment Placement looking to grow its presence in Indonesia, this is also a chance to build connections through football that can benefit businesses in both regions. We appreciate both partners backing the team and recognising the wider opportunities this tour can create.”

Equipment Placement representatives Brian Bondi and Billy will attend the match and meet with local business contacts and partners during the visit.

The company is also a Silver Sponsor of the Djakarta Mining Club.
