PT Denso Indonesia, a joint venture between Denso International Asia and PT Astra Otoparts, plans to build a new plant for automotive components in Indonesia with an estimated investment of about US$200 million (Bt6 billion).
The construction of the plant, which will be the third facility operated by the firm and located in Bekasi Fajar Industrial Estate in Bekasi, West Java, will start in November this year, Astra Otoparts’ commissioner Johnny Darmawan said in Jakarta.
The plant, set for commercial operations in 2014, will produce a wide range of automotive components, particularly for local automakers, Johnny said. PT Denso Indonesia is 63.8-per-cent owned by the subsidiary of Japan-based Denso Corporation. It is responsible for the Asia and Oceania operations and is 25.7-per-cent owned by the auto-parts arm of Indonesia’s diversified group PT Astra International.
