SEZ Industropolis Batang Closed Semester I 2025 With Investment Of IDR 1.1 Trillion From Two Strategic Export Industry

Closing the first semester of 2025, SEZ Industropolis Batang recorded an important achievement by posting an investment value of IDR 1.1 trillion. This figure is obtained from the inclusion of two strategic tenants that are ready to encourage the growth of the export manufacturing industry, namely PT Simba Indosnack Makmur and PT Jingxing Weiss Indonesia.

The signing of the Industrial Land Utilization Agreement (PPTI) with both taking place on Monday, June 30 in Batang, was signed directly by the President Director of PT Simba Indosnack Makmur Lim Soeyantho, Director of PT Jingxing Weiss Indonesia Vincent Christopher Mergonoto, and President Director of PT Batang Integrated Industrial Estate (KITB) Ngurah Wirawan.

PT Simba Indosnack Makmur is part of the Combiphar Group, which has been a major player in the food and healthy snacks industry in Indonesia for more than two decades. Widely known for products such as Simbafaring, Oatbits, and various other nutritious snacks, Simba continues to strengthen his reputation through innovative and sustainable approaches.

At the Industropolis Batang SEZ, Simba will build his first export plant with an investment of IDR 300 billion on 3.6 hectares, which is focused on meeting the needs of the Australian and Saudi Arabian markets. This facility is estimated to absorb about 250 local workers.

"For the Combiphar Group, this expansion is an important spear in spearheading a healthier tomorrow for Indonesia. We are committed to building production facilities that are efficient, innovative, and environmentally friendly. Hopefully, this facility will not only support exports, but also create social impacts through collaboration with local businesses," said Lim Soeyantho, President Director of PT Simba Indosnack Makmur.

PT Jingxing Weiss Indonesia is part of Shanghai Jingxing Storage Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., a high-tech technology company based in Shanghai that was founded in 1989. With more than 35 years of experience, Jingxing has completed more than 15,000 logistical workings and 1,200 US/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System) systems globally, making it one of the main players in the smart logistics industry of the Asia Pacific region.

Investment invested in the Industropolis Batang SEZ reached IDR 800 billion to IDR 1 trillion for the construction of a 6.8 hectare factory, which will target export markets in East Asia and the Pacific, and absorb around 100 workers.

"We see SEZ Industropolis Batang as a strategic location with infrastructure readiness and incentives that support export efficiency. This investment is the first step in building a production facility that supports regional supply chains and strengthens our positioning in the global market," said Vincent Christopher Mergonoto, Director of PT Jingxing Weiss Indonesia.

President Director of PT Kawasan Industri Terpadu Batang, Ngurah Wirawan, said that this achievement is concrete evidence that SEZ Industropolis Batang has moved from the development phase to the acceleration phase. The presence of investors such as Simba and Jingxing not only adds investment value, but also reflects confidence in the future of this region as the center of the export industry.

We consider this Semester I closure an important marker. The presence of two strong export tenants such as Simba and Jingxing brings new colors to the region. They come not only to build facilities, but also to carry long-term vision, collaborative approach, as well as overall use of local and regional potentials," he said.

With this achievement, SEZ Industropolis Batang further emphasized its position as a world investment destination that not only attracts large investments, but also presents a future-oriented, efficient, inclusive, and competitive industrial ecosystem in the global market.
