The chairman of HKI, Sanny Iskandar mentioned that the rapid progress of a number of industries in these industrial parks can be observed, including food and beverages, automotive components, and consumer products. Especially for large automotive companies, at least 100 ha of industrial land are utilized to build just one automotive factory.
