HOW TDR FILMS BUILT AN INDUSTRIAL COMPANY PROFILE VIDEO FOR BANDAR NELAYAN’S SEAFOOD PROCESSING PLANT Written by Yudi Suarbawa / 4 Minutes Read TDR FILMS produces the industrial company profile video Indonesia exporters trust to prove international standards on an expo floor in China, the US, Japan, and Europe. Bandar Nelayan, one of Bali’s largest seafood catching and processing operations, needed exactly that kind of proof. Still on Bandar Nelayan’s Company Profile Video (2026) Key takeaways A single approved narrative built for expo screens in China, the US, Japan, and Europe, then adapted per market instead of translated after the edit closed. A 180-vessel fleet and a 16,000-tonne cold storage system filmed as a real operating system, not a highlight reel. Two separate films: a company profile for buyers and investors, and a behind-the-scenes film following the catch through the processing floor. The brief was not a highlight reel for social media. It was footage built to stand next to any exporter’s presentation in Shanghai, Los Angeles, Tokyo, or Rotterdam. It had to answer a buyer’s real questions in a few minutes. WHY BANDAR NELAYAN NEEDED AN INDUSTRIAL COMPANY PROFILE VIDEO INDONESIA EXPORTERS TRUST Buyers who watch a seafood exporter’s video at an international expo look for proof, not polish. They want to see the fleet, the plant, the hygiene standard, and the process behind the product. TDR FILMS built the brief around that audience from the first meeting. The goal was never a generic corporate reel. It had to sit in front of a buyer in Guangzhou or Boston and hold its own. AN ENGAGING STORYLINE, NOT A STATS REEL Most company profiles for a plant this size default to a straight list of numbers. TDR FILMS built an actual storyline instead. The film opens on the boats at sea. It follows the catch all the way to the export container. A buyer at an expo booth experiences the supply chain in order. They are not just reading about it on a slide. That structure turns a capability video into a story. Buyers remember it after they walk away from the booth. FROM A HANDFUL OF BOATS TO A 180-VESSEL FLEET Bandar Nelayan started in 1996. Mr. Kasdi Taman founded the company with only a handful of fishing vessels. Three decades later, the fleet has grown to more than 180 vessels. Owning the fleet gives Bandar Nelayan a steady supply of raw material all year. It also gives full traceability from the moment a boat leaves the harbor. TDR FILMS filmed the fleet at sea and at dock to show that scale honestly. The camera followed the daily rhythm of departure, catch, and return, not a single drone shot. INSIDE THE PROCESSING FACILITY: CAPACITY, TECHNOLOGY, AND HYGIENE Bandar Nelayan built the processing facility to international standards. The company runs a cold storage system with more than 16,000 tonnes of capacity. An in-house laboratory and a certified quality control team check every batch before it ships. Bandar Nelayan exports more than 350 containers a year. TDR FILMS filmed the processing floor to show that system in motion. The cameras followed the cold chain, the lab checks, and the trained team behind them. Many of that team have stayed with the company for years. The film shows that team, not just the finished product on a plate. TWO FILMS, ONE STORY: COMPANY PROFILE AND PROCESSING FLOOR BTS TDR FILMS delivered two films for this project. The first is a company profile built for expo screens and investor meetings. It carries the full story from ocean to export. The second is a behind-the-scenes film focused entirely on the processing floor, following the catch through cleaning, sorting, and packing. Splitting the story this way let each film do one job well. The company profile sells the scale and the standard. The BTS film proves the process is real. BUILDING AN INDUSTRIAL COMPANY PROFILE VIDEO INDONESIA AUDIENCES TRUST ACROSS FOUR CONTINENTS An expo audience is not one audience. A buyer in China, the US, Japan, and Europe each reads footage differently. TDR FILMS built a Mandarin-language version alongside the English master, made specifically for the China market. TDR FILMS has produced work for government-scale events including the G20 Bali Summit, and for international corporate clients including Bell Textron. That same discipline shaped this project. One narrative got locked first. The team built every market version from that approved narrative, not from a rough translation after the edit closed. That is what an industrial company profile video Indonesia buyers trust looks like. One approved narrative, adapted correctly for each market. WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT HOW TDR FILMS HANDLES INDUSTRIAL AND EXPORT CLIENTS An export-facing project leaves less room for error than a social campaign. The footage represents the company in a room the client cannot be in. TDR FILMS built this project around that responsibility. The team verified every figure with Bandar Nelayan before it reached the screen. The processing floor got the same care as a client-facing interview. Bandar Nelayan is not finished growing. The company keeps investing in processing capability, quality control, and new export markets. It is also holding to the sustainability commitments it built through the Fishery Improvement Project. TDR FILMS built this film to grow with that plan, not just to capture one moment in time. A PARTNER FOR INDUSTRIAL AND EXPORT-FACING STORYTELLING. Get in touch →
