Half Price of Jakarta

Reducing expenses can cost you a great effort. Instead of looking for departments where to cut, move your business to Semarang where labour and land costs do not reach more than a half price of Jakarta.

While residing in Central Java’s capital, you will still have the perfect access to the qualified labour thanks to several prestigious universities situated in the area.

Government Support

The Indonesian government fully supports the development of Semarang and Central Java. Attracting foreign investors and creating new job positions helps the country to fight its alarming high unemployment rate.

Therefore, the Indonesian government does not only invest in the industrial park in Semarang but also proactively sets cooperation with foreign countries like Singapore.

Saat ini, Cekindo dikaitkan dengan kami sebagai mitra bisnis kami di Indonesia dengan memberikan nama kami dan menangani berbagai kegiatan bisnis atas nama kami. Tanpa bantuan mereka, kita tidak dapat memenuhi persyaratan peraturan dan menjadi perusahaan di Indonesia.
