Suzuki is going to build a new plant in Indonesia
- Suzuki wants to strengthen its position in Indonesia and in the ASEAN region markets by implanting a second car assembly plant in this area. This region has indeed a great potential for sales and growth.
- The new plant, which will become operational in 2014, will rise Suzuki's total production capacity from 150 000 to 200 000 units per year in Indonesia with the possibility of increasing the volume again later on.
- In 2012, Suzuki produced 142,755 vehicles in Indonesia and 62,900 in the first seven months of 2013.
- For now, no information has been communicated as to the name of the vehicles produced, but one can assume they will be small cars, as this is the specialty of the Suzuki brand.
- The carmaker had recently announced the construction of an engine plant nearby Jakarta, where is located its largest car assembly plant.
- In addition, Suzuki plans to expand its existing plant by gradually increasing its capacity from 150 000 to 220 000 units per year. The latter produces cars and motorcycles. Let us recall that Suzuki is a major producer of motorcycles, manufacturing nearly 1.2 million motorcycles each year in Indonesia.
