The Manufacturing sector plays a huge role in the Indonesian economy – accounting for about 20% of GDP.
Until now it has also seen the largest foreign direct investment.
As a result, huge industrial parks have been built across the nation, with factories operating 24/7. The production heartland is Java, the nations most populated island.
ProCapita Headhunter Indonesia has a very strong track record working as a C Level Headhunter for Manufacturing Firms.
We have completed 225+ Executive Hires for the Manufacturing Sector since 2014.
We perform Manufacturing Executive Search for both MNC and Local Producers.
There are 2 main types of Manufacturer:
Industrial: These companies produce raw materials or products that are then used to make final goods.
For example, Chemicals, Fragrances, Plastics, Cement, Building Materials, Glass, Ceramics, Coal, Steel, Iron, Gold, Rubber, Wood, Pulp, Oil and Gas.
Final Product: These businesses make finished products that are then sold to consumers / companies / the government.
For instance, Automotives / Cars, Food & Beverages, Healthcare items, Furniture, Electronics, Mobile Phones, FMCG products, Paper, Home Appliances and Textiles.
The Indonesian Manufacturing Sector
Above all, the sector is highly diverse, reflecting the nations huge array of natural resources. In addition, as an emerging market, producers benefit from the country’s relatively low cost of labor.
On top of this, with the worlds 4th largest population Indonesia offers a huge domestic market.
As a result, foreign producers have been flocking to the country for decades, setting up factories and sales teams.
From 2011 to 2016 foreign companies invested US$76 billion into the Indonesian manufacturing sector.
Overall, manufacturing employs about 15 percent of the total workforce – 17 million people. It is the 2nd largest employer after agriculture. Globally the local sector is ranked 9th in terms of its size.
The government aims for Indonesia to be a top 10 global economy by 2030. And manufacturing is seen as key to this. However, there are 2 large issues to overcome.
First, final product producers still need to import a lot of specialised raw materials and component parts.
Second, a lot of local raw materials are exported in natural form, before being processed into higher value goods.
In short, the government wishes to improve in both these areas so that more wealth stays in the nation.
Java – the Factory Heartland
The majority of factories are located in Java. The island is home to 60 percent of the country’s population and accounts for 58 percent of GDP.
Consequently, logistics and infrastructure are also more developed. There is a strong road network and high quality seaports.
As a result, more than half the country’s 100+ industrial estates can be found in Java.
Going deeper, 60 percent of production takes place in West Java. Foreign Direct Investment into this region was US$2.2 billion in 2019.
The area is also home to agriculture – farms, plantations and crop production.
Likewise, due to fertile volcanic soil it produces 70 percent of national tea and about 20 percent of rice.
Central Java is also popular for manufacturers. The sector makes up about 30 percent of the regions GDP. It is the textile capital for the country; seeing about 56 percent of all textile investment.
Central Java has strong transport links with four international airports, 11 seaports and 3,000+ km of roads.
East Java is home to the country’s largest ship building facility and cement factory.
Lastly, Banten province, which borders the DKI Jakarta capital region, is rich in minerals. For example gold, coal, phosphate, and opals.
It is the preferred choice for metal producers, chemicals, automotives and F&B.
