The company’s public relations manager, Prawita Hertik, said that this move was necessary to keep pace with demand, which at present is averaging 100,000 units per day.
Prawita said that the company, which produces the Multi Strada range of tyres, will expand the capacity of its factory in Cikarang, east of Jakarta to meet increasing export demand. Should market requirements necessitate still further expansion, Prawita added, Multistrada has sufficient vacant land at its factory site to accommodate additional development.
The tyremaker at present exports 85% of its production, with the U.K., the Middle East and the U.S. three of its key markets. (Tyres & Accessories/Staffordshire, U.K.)
