Facility to produce automotive technology
- Production to start in 2014
- Investment of 10 million euros in first construction phase
- More than 120 associates to be employed by 2016
The Bosch Group intends to build its first manufacturing site in Indonesia. Beginning in 2014, the supplier of technology and services plans to begin manufacturing automotive technology in the greater Jakarta area, at first primarily for Japanese automakers located in the region. Ten million euros will be invested in the first phase of construction. More than 120 associates will be employed here over the next three years.
“The new manufacturing facility will be a milestone for our operations in Indonesia, and for the expansion of our footprint in southeast Asia,” said Martin Hayes, president of Bosch in southeast Asia. “Southeast Asia is the fastest growing region for Bosch, and expanding our manufacturing capabilities in this region reflects the growth potential that we see in this part of the world.” Bosch already has five manufacturing sites in the region – in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
In Indonesia, Bosch employs more than 100 associates at four locations. The company has been active in Indonesia since 1919.
